In 1984 Inge Telnaes received a patent for a tool titled, "Electronic Gaming Device Utilizing a Random Number Generator for choosing the Reel Stop Positions." International Gaming Technology IGT bought the Telnaes patent and now all slot manufacturers using what has turn out to be referred to as Talneas mapping or reel mapping must license the patent from IGT. This device allowed for the creation of what we call the virtual reel.

While a physical reel could have 22 symbols of stops on it a virtual reel will have 32 as much as 256 and even virtual stops. The virtual stops are assigned to at least one of the symbols at the physical reel. Listed below are the potential outcomes for various numbers of virtual stops.

Stops                                            Outcomes

32                                                 32,768

63                                                262,144

256                                         16,777,216

512                                       134,217,218

Since you don’t know the selection of virtual stops a machine has it's impossible to figure out what the chances are for hitting the jackpot. The collection of each symbol at the reel too can affect the return.

Look at this case for a machine that has 32 stops on each reel. The overall combinations are 32,768. Listed below is the payouts and choice of occurances out of 32,768

Pay table is:

Symbol                             Pays            Occurrences                           $Payout

3 Sevens                          250                       30                                       7,500

3 Bars                                 75                        80                                       6,000

3 Cherries                          12                       12                                            144

Any 2 cherries                      8                     476                                         3,808

Any Cherry                            2                   6180                                       12,360

Total wins                             $29,812

Total bets                              $32,768

Return                                    90.979%

Here are the symbols on each reel.

Symbols                     Reel 1     Reel 2     Reel 3

3 Sevens                      5             2                3

3 Bars                           5             4                4

Cherries                       2             3                2

Blanks                         20          20               23

Now in case you were to modify the collection of bars on reel 3 from 4 to 5 the return would increase to 95.577%.

If you decrease the number to two the payback can be reduced to 81.824%

If you changed the cherries at the first reel from 2 to a few the payback would increase to 99.072

This example shows you ways adjusting the symbols can affect the return of the machine.
