1. Somebody sits in the backroom and control the work of the machine. 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. It is done either to clean or to refill the hopper of the machine. 3. Playing one and the same machine for a long period of time guarantees that you will get paid soon. It may be "due" or even long "overdue," but that doesn't mean it is "ready" to hit. The previous game has nothing to do with the following one. 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. The player club cards do not affect the operation of the machine. They will not cause the machine to pay more or less often. 5. The professional gambler has a better chance than the tourist. All players have equal chances 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.
