I think that's pipe dream nowhere near 83% pay out. There some much corruption in gaming I sure even the the odds maker on what the slots pay out in paid off. Several Casino's have refused to paid out winnings. One in my old area made big mistake said on TV news report the slot was't programmed to win. The old lady that won $13k got some press coverage they paid out to hide there dirty secret.

Also been several news investigation (one I remember on 20/20) about slot programming it was nowhere near 83%. More like 6% if I remember and the. Grand prize was closer to .002 straight for the employee mouth that programmed the machine's.

Again only total moron's plays Video slots where it's in casino's, bars or online, maybe back when they were mechanical you had wing and prayer chance. but not in the day of the computer IMO

The corruption of which you speak was probably very true years ago when the mafia was involved. I can tell you without equivocation, that the 83% payout of slots when gaming started in Atlantic City is true. If it isn't exactly that today, it's pretty close to that percentage. It is closely regulated by the state and there isn't any room for error because the machines are under close scrutiny.

I don't know where you are speaking about regarding a 6% payout, but I can tell you there is no such thing in any casino anywhere unless someone is running an illegal game somewhere.

"Employee mouth?" Huh? What are you talking about? No, those who play the slots are not "total morons." While many people get caught up in them, most people play for the fun of it. Whether slot machines were/are mechanical or electronic doesn't matter. Whatever the programmed odds are is what they are.
