We use a video editing system that makes auto adjustments and even makes auto edits (which the operator can override) and these are based on "hearing" pauses in the audio and sensing the start and stop of motion.

Many years ago I flew in the cockpit of an L-1011 which is a totally automatic plane -- from takeoff to landing -- all computer controlled. I actually sat in the pilot's seat going over the Atlantic on the way to Ethiopia (I raised the money for the relief mission and that's why I was in the cockpit). That was in 1985.

Technology is very capable of sensing how you play, how you bet. After all, that's how bots work on poker sites.

I'm not saying any slot or video poker machine has been rigged this way but there is technology to do it.

As far as hot and cold cycles go -- of course there are hot and cold cycles, but we can only see them in our rear view mirrors.
If the tech exists, I'm sure some enterprising Native American casino is making use of it. And I think the tech exists.

The problem with thinking nothing is ever rigged is that it requires the belief that no casino anywhere has people with motive, method, and opportunity to rig anything. Since that is clearly absurd, it comes down to guesstimating whether the place you play has such people.

When you frame this as being about people and the existence of tech, rather than companies or some corporate philosophy of rigging, then your perspective can change quite a bit.
