Slot machines aren’t actually random. They’re programmed to seem like they’re random and based on chance. They can be rigged to win or loose at any point with the main “randomness” usually being programmed. Depending on the machine they could actually be using a real random value generation program to produce random numbers, then add or subtract as necessary if it does happen to create a winning match when it isn’t wanted.
