So what do you think, just coincidence, or a little design magic to keep us hooked? I know they’ll say it’s all fair and random, but you can’t tell me the devs didn’t factor this in when making the game. After all, nothing keeps a gambler glued to the screen like almost winning.
Well it's possible but you can't really tell exactly if this is the case or not except you are able to perform a check on a majority of slot algorithm on different gambling websites and measure out the average. The fact is if it happens too often then you can as well say it's true. Well if you check most times in slots there's this kinda suspense when it's almost a jackpot.

I want to believe that in some cases it's programmed to happen like that since you may want to play again and again with the feeling that you are really close in mind.
