  • Gripminimum

The letter P. Not your probability.

  • P < 0More prizes went out than the bank covered. The claw stays at Minimum Power.
  • P = 0No prize is owed. The claw stays at Minimum Power.
  • P > 0A prize is owed. The claw runs at Max Power until a prize is won.

P is the balance of prizes owed by the machine. It is not a probability of winning and it is not a countdown. P = 0 on its own does not say how close the bank is to the next prize.

This page runs a simplified counter of prizes owed. It is not a reproduction of ICE firmware. On this page the bank never goes below zero, so P < 0 does not come up.

Nevada Regulation 14.040(1)(a), excerpts

“theoretically pay out a mathematically demonstrable percentage of all amounts wagered”
“which must not be less than 75 percent for each wager available for play on the device”

A theoretical payout percentage describes the design of a device across all play. It does not guarantee a return to any particular player.

Facts

Fact 1 / Density · iRocks

19.3g/cm³

Pure gold weighs 19.3 g/cm³. Pyrite, “fool's gold”, weighs 4.8 g/cm³. Gold is four times denser.

Mohs hardness: gold 3, soft. Pyrite 6, harder.

Density is why gold settles to the bottom of a pan.
