Yes the odds of winning are quite small, but still there are ways to beat a slot machine for a small amount. When gambling was not yet banned in my country my friends and I used to go to the casino and play slot machines. Our strategy was that before we sit down for the slot machine we have several hours to monitor the activity of all slot machines. We were able to make good money sitting down only for those slot machine in which it has already been thrown a lot of money but they have not yet given the winnings.
Of course, this can not be attributed to breaking the code is just an increase in the probability of winning by counting.
interesting approach
this was purely on observation or you also take notes on number of rolls and frequency of prizes?
I'd be curious to know how often these pay players
more than 1% of times?
I can not know the percentage of winnings because we did not have access to the algorithms of slot machines.
A person comes to play and chooses the slot machine he likes. We observe his game and therefore know approximately how much money he put into the machine. If he lost quite a lot and the machine did not give him the winnings next one of us sat down for this machine. We never played a slot machine that had not been used before us that day or had already let someone win.
I don't know if this strategy works now, we used it about 10 years ago.
