Wrong.
"They" (Gaming Enforcement) do not "pull" machines due to much or how little they pay, and never have. Casino management does do this, and frequently.
GE investigates a gaming device based on either 1) a complaint, or 2) their random chip inspection program. The latter occurs approximately monthly at each gaming site. I got this information years ago directly from the head of the Gaming Control Lab. When asked how random these inspections were, he told me they tried not to do it during busy times.
The chip inspection program was instituted in response to the American Coin scandal. There was no such program prior to it.
