Reading your statement and seeing that image, it's a different thing that comes to my mind when I see an opened vintage slot machine. The story of that guy who cheated by studying those machines and rigging them.
Tommy Glenn Carmichael. I forgot where I watched that story of him but for four decades he had been escaping the law until the FBI came in and investigated. Millions of dollars, he got a lot of money because he truly learned how to do it and studied it carefully by buying slot machines and tinkering with them.
I'd like to buy one too if there's a chance but not to mimic what that guy did. It's only for entertainment and I think the kids would love to have that kind of vintage game inside the house. I mean it is a good decoration and also could be entertaining especially if you are not spending anything. If I have that, I am thinking about putting some money in though, and maybe test my luck.

I remember wanting one of these as a kid. It seemed like they were commonly available back in the day but I can’t say I’ve seen one for sale in many years. Probably some new laws about gambling or something keeping them from being sold to the normal folks. If I recall correctly, in the late 80s you could get a working slot machine like this for around $500.

Whether or not you are playing on a machine that might be tight or loose would likely depend on whether the machine you are playing on is in a legal jurisdiction or not. Illegal operators would probably set the machine for the highest house setting whereas legal establishments probably have to abide by some sort of regulation.

You reminded me when no regulation at all was some years ago in the Western Balkans and the houses were setting up these type of slots in such a way that the house would get 86% and the people 14%,this was the highest of the slot machines namely Apex from Austria let the maximum to be permitted as a house edge.This was in Montenegro,Kosovo,Serbia,Albania and North Macedonia that I have experienced first hand as I was having work trips in such countries many years ago and I still remember the rage of people in all these countries when losing money while I imagined how much the owners of landline casinos would be laughing at people stupidity.

Thanks for the article, I tried to read it carefully, but it seemed difficult to understand.
The explanation is certainly very complex and very foreign to me.

I'm terms of manipulation, well I wouldn't call it that. I'll say house edge because it has to be set in such a way that the operators has more wins so as not to go bankrupt. No manipulation just some mechanical settings.

And yes, the term I should be using, because every casino is looking to profit from the machines they provide for gambling.
If it only benefits the player, then the casino will go bankrupt.

I hope we can find details on how the random algorithm works on vintage slot machines or how it follows a random result.

You can read the article given by @Davidvistorson, there has been explained how slot machines work.

Never played such or any other antique slot machine because in my country alone there are no such machines, no gambling establishments.

With regard to legal jurisdictions as well as some audits conducted on slot machines,
whether, slot games available at online casinos must also comply with legal jurisdictions and conduct audits before being given to players.

Since many online casinos are illegal and do not have any licenses,
I found many casino advertisements that promise huge profits with slot gambling.

As far as I know, before a physical slot machine will be used in actual live gambling, there are checking and auditing on how that machine works, and the casino or the one involved in creating the machine has to explain the whole mechanism of its winning rate or we can call it similar to RTP in the modern slot.

That goes on vintage slot machines but as always, the machine was designed to give casinos more profit compared to what users can take home, as that was what gambling is supposed to be. I hope we can find details on how the random algorithm works on vintage slot machines or how it follows a random result.

I have been fascinated by this too. I did some research and found this article written about how classic slot machine works.on How stuff work website. The machine engineers were pretty detailed aand we have to appreciate the effort that went into thos wheels, levels and gears that made up the old slot machine.

This morning as usual I opened Twitter and found a video of a Vintage Slot Machine that was still working fine.
So amazing when seeing how the mechanism shown in the Vintage slot machine.

This is the work of an amazing machine engineer, who can create such an intricate slot machine.
If Online casinos are now using software to program Slot Machines and there may be some manipulation being done, then what about Vintage slot machines like this?
Whether this Vintage slot machine can also be set to the wishes of the owner, or this will only depend on how lucky we are.

But having one Vintage Slot machine like this will save me to play slots,
because you don't need to spend any more money and do as much as you like to play it.
