Apparently this really was possible with some of the old mechanical
equipment, as hard to believe as it may seem. One of the things still
defined by Nevada Revised Statutes sec. 465.070 as a fraudulent act is,
"To manipulate, with the intent to cheat, any component of a gaming
device in a manner contrary to the designed and normal operational
purpose for the component, including, but not limited to, varying the
pull of the handle of a slot machine, with knowledge that the
manipulation affects the outcome of the game or with knowledge of any
event that affects the outcome of the game."
To me, this is remarkable, in that pulling the handle was something
every player had to do. I guess you'd call this an example of Nevada
government making it a crime to use your brain inside a casino.
