Cite, please.

They admit the machine will watch the pattern of play and pay out in a
way to encourage more play. At the end of the day they still pay out
the statistical average they are required to by the state. It is
always less "out" than "in" over time and the casino owner has plenty
of time.

Watch the History Channel or the Travel Channel.
They have "Vegas Secrets" shows on all the time and slot machines are
a common subject. The graphics under the interviews will identify the
speakers. They are gaming officials and industry spokesmen. I suppose
it could all be a big lie but then who would you believe?

That's a citation?

I have seen several Discovery and History Channel shows on slot
machines and the ways people cheat them. None of them support your
thesis.

Nevada was the first to outlaw near-miss programming.
