You can keep track of when the last win was and how many plays it’s been since that win. If the number is too small, the system can decrease the odds of a win so it’s not constantly giving out jackpots. If the number is too big, it can increase the odds of a win to comply with minimum jackpot payouts. It can even go as far as guaranteeing a particular outcome in certain situations.
