It's not as random as you think. Machines do stuff like this as a strategy to get mugs to think they've nearly got a win, thus making them put more money in. Think about it.....how many times do you get rolled a 2 on your last credit with machines that have trails going to 4. It makes you put in another quid for the hold, which most of the time never materialises. Can't remember the proper term for it, but it is pre built into AWPs.

The leaving of two like symbols on the last credit scam comes to mind.
Or the one nudge when you need two nudges scam
Or the lower than 11 for jackpot scam.
and The jackpot repeat chance scam when it never repeats.

I know it seems like that but it's very rarely true.
The human brain is a pattern spotting machine. It's how the thing works.
Sometimes it spots patterns that aren't there.

top one is random
losing nudges are standard pseudo activity and gambling lower than 11 for jackpot on a lapper is trap a decent player shouldn't be falling into. neither of which are really 'scams'
repeat chances. when will people get a grip on this. your repeat chance is never more than 50/50.

It's frowned upon by bacta, but i don't think there's anything they can do to eradicate the problem.

I'd say it's never as much as 50/50...

Streakypoos is spot on, there was a bit on a tv programme a while ago about national lottery scratchcards - they bought hundreds and found that they all (i think it was all, if not a vast majority) had at least 1 pair of cash amounts the same, thus trying to mess with johnny munter's head and say "oh, close but no cigar.... maybe the next one you buy will have 3 cash amounts the same".
It's a simple bit of pyschology that works wonders for the gaming industry however it manifests itself.

Exactly, this is why Extremes are/were so profitable as you're making them do what they would only tease at doing.
