There's a nice little map here clearing up what a gaming machine and what a skill machine is:

Ask any independant bookie if they can set the percentage of their machines, it is just down to large numbers, they more play the more profit.Sixbomb wrote:No different as in bent practices. Do the GC audit the bookies? The bookies rely on FOBTs to make any profit. The bookies analyse FOBT data continuously to ensure profits are consistent. The games have been tightened up in terms of payout profiles. Playing to a payout profile is not random. The bookies get away with this because people still unquestioningly believe the machines are random. Why? Because the bookies tell them so. You have to laugh.
Still can have losing days, weeks, rarely a losing month these days though due to the limits on max £500 win.
I've seen machine records pre 2005 where a shop was losing over a month, the next month they showed a bigger than average profit though, namely because the winners where playing bigger and longer sessions and lost it all back and some.
If you think the B2 games are rigged as such they are set to a % then you a just deluded. B3 games it quite clear they put the % at 90 92 or 94 %, no surprise profit is a certainty with low stakes fast turnover profiles at such a high margin.
