video poker machines not random?

Stop Win/Stop Loss is actually a great strategy for negative expectation gamblers. It serves to cut down on playing time. The more you play the more you lose. The less you play the less you lose. But it is the opposite for positive expectation gamblers. The more they play the more they make. The less they play the less they make.

I am just now recovering from believing this nonsense and I can't believe I fell for it.

Yeah, much better to believe that you can beat negative games but can't beat positive games. What a fucking idiot!

My conclusion is pretty simple after years of research and it has to do with the rng numbers 1-52 and cycles on a mainframe server. If the machine is as it should be then the psuedo rng would flow through the full 52 numbers at 1/1000 of a second and select 4-9-2-7-10 all being in a grouping. This could be as a full cycle at 96% double double- k-4-k-a-9 It's a pair good flop! It seems it would be fair enough to just let it be but if it's slow then they might have cycle B.. This cycle is random post flop but pre flop has a different algorithm allocated to specific numbers. The flop dictates future possibilities and with programming can instantly turn a 96% machine into a 84% or worse!

It's pretty simple if the machine is programmed to now 38 groupings,or 52 in a specific grouped order more so then you might see more A-2-9-7-q.. Not a great flop in most games you hold the aq and in some the ace going for runners. After the hold it just picks from the full remainder and your odds suck from there.Regardless of the pay-table pairs are generally king in VP and if the rng happens to have it set to pick a sub set 2-15,or 28-48 and lands 2 as ''ace of clubs'' And then never pick the set of 20-25 which has an ace going with ''2'' as indicator then you might have rigged there. I notice when I'm winning I get more pairs often which translate into eventual 3 of a kinds/from there it's 1/40 for quads and this is what vp is all about. You reduce pairs pre flop and your going to negate quads from the traditional 1/426 to 1/1,400 or worse just from a button on a server machine. The thing is being casinos love big winners and long odds program B may always have 2-3 royal flush draws as a probability so jackpots can still happen and they like them odds and don't care.

Do you have fits with those spells?
