But, how can you tell if maybe it’s broken...??

If it hasn’t paid off in 20 years (except for the casino) there may be a reason. Seems like every time the Indian casinos have a big jackpot, they refuse to pay off because the machine is broken. Perhaps MGM’s machine is in perfect working order.

Odds don’t depend on past statistics. They’re independent of one another.

From what I heard is that there is firmware (permanent memory) in slot machines with a list of outcomes, past and future that can be audited by the gaming commission.

Therefore the performance is planned. It may never produce a jackpot if the list has been exhausted and repeated. I’m thinking there are folks in the MGM office laughing their heads off.

Stick to craps-roullette-blackjack.

Forget Britney Spears and Cirque du Soleil. For many gamblers, the hottest attraction in Sin City

?? Did Britney open a brothel or something?

Has Bill Bennett weighed in on this question?

If it’s truly random, there is no reason why it must eventually pay off. One throw of the dice doesn’t influence the next throw.
