All slot machines are very tightly regulated and controlled. Even the networked machines. Before a casino can change the odds or payouts, the machine has to have been idle for a specified period of time and the change must be logged and reported. Older machines can only be changed by physically opening the machine. Many of us assume that a casino can set any machine, especially a slot machine, to any setting they want with relative ease. Open the thing, turn a key or flick a switch and voila – the machine. Some times of day are better than others. This isn’t true. Casinos aren’t able to reprogram the. Answer: Let's look at this theory. New machines on the slot floor are loose so players will get used to winning on them.
