The payback and hold are theoretical until we sit down and
start putting coin in and playing.
The real return to the casino can be different than the
expected return, but 'in the long run', it's going to be
pretty close, sometimes better if people make 'mistakes'.

The way that I believe it works is as follows for an example.
Lets say you have a machine with 2 possible outcomes
1. get nothing .
2. get $100.
Now let us assume that we want a payback of 95%.
We set the chip to have 105 positions.
1 position is the $100
104 positions have $0.
The random number generator will pump out any number between 1 and 105.
If all positions are hit once the machine will hold $5.
I hope this explains it.
Regards
A.P.

I watched the video of Shack talking about slot machines. It wasn't very clear--did I miss something? He states that as soon as you hit the bet button (or pull the handle) the RNG selects the outcome for each reel and the corresponding symbols appear on the screen. However, he repeatedly says that the machine's EPROM chip determines what payback % the machine is set at, and the Casino Manager can change that chip at will.
So, if a machine is set to pay back at a 96% rate for instance, how then can there also be a true RNG at work that randomly selects numbers with corresponding symbols? It's either a RNG or it isn't.
