Do you think a good VLT player, attentive and very observant, can tell when he is about to win?

from Montréal asks:

Do you think a good VLT player, attentive and very observant, can tell when he is about to win?

Our answer:

No. The outcome of VLT games is determined exclusively by chance. It is therefore unpredictable and uncontrollable. There is no such thing as a "good" VLT player.

Is it true that when a VLT has not paid out a jackpot for some time, the machine is full and therefore on the verge of paying out?

from Montréal asks:

Is it true that when a VLT has not paid out a jackpot for some time, the machine is full and therefore on the verge of paying out?

Our answer:

No. There is no connection between the machine's money box and the electronic chip that manages winning and losing combinations. The result of each spin is determined when the player presses the “play” button. A machine is never “due” to pay out; it’s all a matter of chance.
