Yep, some people believe the selection process is really important or a matter of bad luck that they don't win. Come on...you telling me that computers can't be programmed to where one selection is made to then show the other 'would-be' selections to have won? Fact that the total matrix is revealed after the player has made their picks, prove nothing. Only a fool would believe these are fair. In Reno they now have a game at GSR where you play tic-tac-toe against a live chicken by making your pick on a computer. Only thing is you can't see what the chicken is actually picking. How many times has the chicken lost? None, to my understanding...best you can do is tie. You don't have a chance against a computer and if/and when someone beats that chicken and wins $10K, it will be because GSR wanted that person to win.
The Wizard has discussed slot machines with regards to similar inference.
My anecdotal evidence is with "quick strikes" and the "free game" bonus round matrix.
The total matrix is revealed after the player has made their picks.
A close family member berates a certain individual as the latter does not make careful choices during # picks.
The latter explains to their lovely close family member that.the game's "win" is determined at the pushing of the bet (deal) button. The former does not believe this is true and wise choices are necessary.
Who's right?
(Side note: 3% of our action/trip is on slot machines mostly quick strike. Attempt to stay under radar.)

cards weren't "fair." I can vouch for the fact that there are other
Bingo progressives that still have this characteristic.

Even with only 3 choices, NEVER get the $1000 cash or truck or such. Is the game rigged so you get what casino has decided in advance? Is this fair? Should gaming commission look into it? Thoughts?
