Question

Can the casino change the payout with out going into the machine, like from a control room or something?

Community Answer

They can change it remotely, but Gaming Commission rules prohibit them from doing so while the machine is in use.

Question

Does the casino change a winning machine while you are playing on it?

Community Answer

No. The odds are programmed into the machine as it's introduced to the casino floor and may be changed at periodic intervals, but not during play.

Question

If for any reason a casino thinks someone is not a "good person," can they shut down a chance of jackpots while you are playing?

Community Answer

Anyone unwelcome in the casino will be asked to leave by management. Machine odds would not be tampered with on an individual basis.

Question

Does pressing the stop button increase your chance of winning?

Jason Carpenter

Community Answer

The outcome of a slot spin is determined by a random number generator (RNG) the moment you hit the spin button, not when the reels stop. Stopping the reels early just speeds up the animation but does not change the predetermined outcome.
