Slot Machine Testings

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s job is to ensure that the slot machines in the state are being run fairly and properly, and they have a lab in Harrisburg that tests all of the machines to ensure compliance. They test every single slot machine that is headed to a casino floor to make sure that each one works the way that the casino says it will.

The technicians check everything within the casino, but they especially focus on the slot machines so that every credit is played and every machine is monitored. They check them not only for the sake of the slot machine players, but also to make sure that they are getting their 55% of the revenue.

They are also quick to point out that many of the things that you have heard about slot machines are just not true. They say that there is no such thing as a hot or cold machine, and no matter whether you have played the machine once or a thousand times, your chances of winning at the slot machine is exactly the same.

The Random Number Generators (RNG) within the slot machine make sure that every time someone pulls the handle or pushes a button that they have the exact same chance of winning as the person next to them. There is also talk that if someone is doing well at the slot machines that the casino can change the computer to make it harder for them to win. Again, not true or even possible to do.
