A great fan supplied question:

"Does slapping work?? I have watched a high degree of people using the slapper approach when dragon link bonus feature begins. Does the slapper change the results? "

Thank you so much for your question. Now gather around children for some EYE POPPING, jaw dropping truths about slot machines. 

Slot Machines do not have feelings. They don't care if you win or lose, whether you're sad, mad, angry or glad. If you caress the button softly, talk sweet nothings to it, or simply slap it silly - it will provide you with a random response: WIN or LOSE. So slapping it has zero affect on the machine, especially when the outcome has already been decided. It is my professional opinion that the outcome of all of the slaptastic link games (Lightning Link, Dragon Link, Fortune Link etc) are pre-determined once triggered. So your slapping has zero affect. 

Now, if I'm wrong (which may happen on occasion, I'll admit), and it is NOT pre-determined and each slap'/ tap / caress / button pressing moment does in fact rely on a random number generator (RNG) - it still doesn't matter the method you use to hit that button. It's all about timing, and NOT about the amount of pressure you put on that button. No one can determine what the RNG says inside the machine, and since it's so random, pressing the buttons slow or fast really can either help or hurt you. 

Bottom line, save me my monthly subscription to tylenol and hold back on the button slapping. It does nothing but annoy your neighbors and make you kind of look a bit coo-coo. You guys are professionally trained now, so share this so others learn and educate them....for my sanity please, haha. 

What DOES help you ask?? Making that money and KEEPING that money. Check out our Winners Bank for a great solution to leaving the casino with money still in your pocket. If you can't trust yourself, you can definitely count on a key locked safe that is impossible to open.

Have another Blog Topic I should write about?? Fill out the form!

Della Yong  asks,
"​Stopping the Reels - Which is better, allowing the reels to spin freely or use the start/stop option? Does it matter?"
 
We all like to think we have a secret to winning. We KNOW how to win, and we CAN control the outcome. The reality is that we can NOT outsmart a computer. Repeat after me...
 
The SECOND you hit the Spin button (or pull the handle), the outcome has already been decided.
 
“Oh no Brian, whenever I see two bonus symbols I always stop the reels and 9 times out of 10 it works!”. I do love your optimism, however just like you cannot stop a speeding train like Superman, you cannot stop the reels to affect its outcome. It just can’t be done. Ever. Ever.
 
That said, I still give myself credit for stopping the reels and getting the bonus even though I had zero impact on the outcome. I did it! :p
 
So in answer to your question: which is better – stopping the reels or letting them spin freely? It doesn’t matter. Since slot machines run on random number generators (RNG’s), the only thing stopping the reels does is change the timing of your next spin which evidently will be hit at a different micro-second. Same goes for a bonus if you stop the reels, it alters the next spin (just not the one already in motion).
 
But to all the Super heroes out there, keep on keeping on! And be sure to tag me in your upcoming Instagram photos and stories using @BCSlots and be on the lookout for exclusive giveaways on there like we did last month!

Brian Christopher xoxo ❤️
