Wizardofodds Slot Machine Par Sheet

So, I got the idea to see if anyone would be interested in selling me copies of par sheets for various machines with progressives, or just the relevant information from them. (Of utmost interest are the jackpot cycles, but meter rates, seed values, and potential payback% settings are also of interest.). That's not always true. Sometimes casinos put the par sheet inside the machine, some don't. A regular slot tech wouldn't normally have access to the numbers if they are not in the machine. It would have to be a higher lever tech or Supervisor with access to the Slot Accounting System.

The PAR sheets (Probability Accounting Reports), exposing these parameters of the machines and probabilities associated with the winning combinations are not publicly exposed and can be only retrieved upon request from the game producers, usually via legal intervention (for example, through FIPPA, Freedom of Information and Protection of.

I know of people who became friendly with casino employees and been able to get information on returns of specific from them.
I’m not sure how you would go about that without having any contacts.

There's a saying in magic concerning how to learn secrets: 'The trick is told when the trick is sold.'
I have a feeling the 'secrets' (i.e. what you would find on a par sheet) to a slot machine are handled the same way.

It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

how else could I get what the various Return % settings are?
maybe the par sheet isn't what I want?
maybe the marketing summary sheet is what I need?

You just need the theoretical return. A slot technician would be able to get at that easily if he wanted to.

Also, even if they do have access, not many would be willing to share that information and risk their job for $20 or $50. They would most likely be terminated with no warning if seen or found to be sharing that info.
If it was that easy, par sheets would be all over the place.

If a marketing summary sheet is difficult to find, you could check out certain gaming publications. Typically these monthly or bi-monthly magazines will feature several slots and for each one, will give the range of possible returns. If you want to know the setting of a specific machine at a casino you go to, you best bet without contacts is to hope you can catch a glimpse when the machine is opened up and being worked on by a tech or attendant.
As for legally finding a PAR sheet as a member of the general public with no relevant contacts, that happens either by complete accident or by someone's carelessness.
