How is "near miss programming" defined?

A combination that looks close to a jackpot or a big win. Players tend
to think that they are 'almost' a winner.

BTW I put very little credibility in anyone "who worked on slots".
They don't have a clue what is burned into that software. They swap
boards, they don't write code.

I dont "work on slots" as such :) I do however, have about 10 years
software/hardware exp. in the gaming industry in case you have not
picked it already.
