    Lemme get this off my chest, I hate Sonic 4. 
    I don't even know why I started this...but I started spinning the slot machine in Generic Casino Zone. 
    Why did I do it? To ease the pain of my childhood being kicked and beaten? To stock up on lives?
    I needed every bit of lives I got from this, fuck those bosses.
     
    When I was finished with the 100 spins, I had 24 lives, the most rings I had at one time was 724.
     
    Now a breakdown of which result is the most frequent, down to the least frequent.
     
    Junk (0-4 rings depending on BAR):  34% 
    Junk is any result except for 3 in a row. So of course this is the highest number.
    Kinda disappointed that I never got Jackpot-Jackpot-Robotnik though.
     
    3 Robotniks (-100 rings): 18%
    Yes, Robotnik. Not eggman. 
     
    3 Rings (10 rings) 16%
    Wooo, 3 rings, how droll.
     
    3 BAR (20 rings) 15%
    Trivia Tidbit, the BAR logo on slot machines is derived from the old logo of the Bell-Fruit-Gum company.
     
    3 Sonics (30 rings) 9%
    The boy in blue didn't show up much, almost the rarest occurence.
     
    3 Jackpots (150 rings) 8%
    Of course the highest payoff is the rarest, but not by much
     
    So...there you have it, if you've ever wanted the odds of hitting a certain thing on the slot machine, there you go.
    8 percent for a jackpot isn't really that rare. Pretty good odds if I do say so myself.
     
    ps. doing all this research was less painful than playing through Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
     
    Here is my data from the spins.

    I hated the level where I I had to get 100,000 points at the casino. The rest of the game isn't great, but it's alright.

    I saw my brother playing this exact level earlier and all I could think of was "Wow, this looks fucking horrible."

    Ouch, you really hated it that much? Not to sound like a total ass, but didn't you play the demo before shelling out $15 for it? :(
     
    Also, your dedication to science is commendable.
