1. Somebody sits in the backroom and control the work of the machine. Each machine is an independently operating device. 2. When a mechanic opens a machine, it will stop paying. 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. "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. With a club card you get paid more often. The player club cards do not affect the operation of the machine. Club cards will never make the machine pay. 5. A constant player has more chances of winning that a beginner or a 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. Multi-Hand Stud Poker Jackpot.
