> Standard Draw Poker Deal

1. The machines are controlled by someone in the back room.
In fact every machine, video poker or slot, has a device which operated independently.
2. The machine will become cold if a mechanic opens it.
There are no switches, knobs, or screws inside a machine that will change how the machine is paying. Even if a casino person opens the machine he does it to clear or to refill the hopper of the machine.
3. Playing one and the same machine for a long period of time guarantees that you will get paid soon.
One can’t know when the machine will decide to pay out. The previous game has nothing to do with the following 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. Using a club card makes the machine pay more often.
Nothing can affect the operation of the machine. Club cards is not an exception here. Club cards will not help the machine to pay.
5. The professional gambler has a better chance than the tourist.
All players have equal chances of winning. 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.
