1. The machines are controlled by someone in the back room. RNG which is an integral part of every machine works independently and nothing can affect it. 2. The machine will become cold if a mechanic opens it. In reality machine doesn’t know whether it has been opened or not. It is done either to clean or to refill the hopper of the machine. 3. If you play a machine for a long time it is due to pay. It may be "due" or even long "overdue," but that doesn't mean it is "ready" to hit. This game never influences the next one. It doesn't matter if you have played a machine for five minutes or five hours; every deal is from a full deck and the RNG (which selects each hand) has no memory of what has happened before. 4. If you have a club card you will win more often. Club cards have nothing to do with the payout of the machine. Club cards will never make the machine pay. 5. The professional gambler has a better chance than the tourist. The chances of every player are the same. The machine has no way of knowing if you are a tourist or a professional or if you are tall or short. The only edge a better player may have is his ability to choose the best cards to hold.
