Does anyone know how video slot machines work? Video keno in particular?

jennifer l k asked:


Have you ever noticed when you are gambling, every machine you go to, you win and other times you can’t win anything. It can’t just be luck or is it coincidence? There is times that I noticed that the machines are paying off throughout the casino.Does anyone know how they are programed? I know there is a computer chip.

   I watched a documentary on this once. Apparently they’re programmed on timers so that wins start happening after a certain amount of time. The only thing that’s random is what you win.

   they use a random number generator and yes they can set the chip to pay off more frequently.
