Different pseudo-random number generators. And "thousands of lines" is generally nowhere near enough, you generally need millions. A fun test: do a run of 10 thousand plays on VPW from reset and record the number. Shut down the app and restart it and run again: what do you get? Same number? You will get the same number if VPW resets its prng to the same seed every time and doesn't randomize the draw selections. Do a web search for "problems with random number generators" for some more details. Also check out: "mersenne twister random number generator". I don't know what algo IGT uses in their slots, I'm sure it's an industry secret to avoid exposing exploits.
