Yes, the house edge on slot machines is programmed into the machine and is usually around the 5% mark. This means that for every hundred pounds wagered, the casino expects to keep five pounds on average. However, this is calculated over millions of spins, so individual outcomes can vary widely. You might win a large jackpot or lose more than the average house edge suggests, which is part of what makes slot machines entertaining.
