Default Video poker

When a mechanic opens a machine, It will stop paying. I heard many people saying this while playing video poker. Is this true?

I would imagine that to be the truth. I don't know why it wouldn't. Do the machanics turn off the machines when they service them?

There are no switches, knobs, or screws inside a machine that will change bow the machine is paying. Most of the time a mechanic or floor- person will open a poker machine only to clear a coin jam or refill a hopper if you have won enough to empty it. There is no way for the mechanic to "set up” a machine to hit a royal or prevent the machine from selecting a. winning hand.

You know about a Rule of Thumb for Bankroll Calculation
The exact bankroll you need to ploy any video poker schedule is a complicated mathematical computation involving the optimal return on the game, the game’s volatility (i.e., how big are the normal ups and downs of the game), and how much the slot club returns. It even matters how ‘risk adverse” you are, which is fancy talk for how big of a disaster it would be to you psychologically if you lost everything.

Each poker machine is an independently operating device. Its computer program is set by the manufacturer to a given payback percentage, and the only way to alter it, is to physically change the program chips inside the machine. So a mechanic has nothing to do with it.
