1. The outcome is determined by a man sitting in the backroom. In fact every machine, video poker or slot, has a device which operated independently. 2. The machine will become cold if a mechanic opens it. In fact the machine will never ‘feel’ that it has been opened. Even if a casino person opens the machine he does it to clear or to refill the hopper of the machine. 3. "I have played this machine for hours-it is due to hit." One can’t know when the machine will decide to pay out. Every play is completely independent of every other play. It can happen that a 5-minute game will bring you the jackpot and several hours spent at the machine will result only in losses. 4. If you have a club card you will win more often. Nothing can affect the operation of the machine. Club cards is not an exception here. They will not cause the machine to pay more or less often. 5. A constant player has more chances of winning that a beginner or a tourist. Every player has the same chance of winning. 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.
