> Single Player Poker Pot

1. The outcome is determined by a man sitting in the backroom.
In fact every machine, video poker or slot, has a device which operated independently.
2. When a mechanic opens a machine, it will stop paying.
In reality machine doesn’t know whether it has been opened or not. Most of the time a mechanic or floor-person will open a machine only to clear a coin jam or refill a hopper if you have won enough to empty it.
3. Playing one and the same machine for a long period of time guarantees that you will get paid soon.
In fact nothing can influence the time of payout. This game never influences the next one. It doesn't matter if you have played a machine for five minutes or five hours; every deal is from a full deck and the RNG (which selects each hand) has no memory of what has happened before.
4. If you have a club card you will win more often.
The player club cards do not affect the operation of the machine. They will not cause the machine to pay more or less often.
5. A beginner or a tourist will never win more than a constant player.
The chances of every player are the same. The machine has no way of knowing if you are a tourist or a professional or if you are tall or short. The only edge a better player may have is his ability to choose the best cards to hold.
