Same article went on to quote an "expert" as saying that 25 of 26 players lose online because the software is rigged.They consulted with a computer expert and it seems that the software is titled dramatically against the player winning large amounts(over $1000) while the casino will have an easy time of getting the player in the red 95% of the time.Then the player is forced to play the catch-up game......

This is exactly how "real" machines work too. The chances of winning a jackpot over 1,000 coins on machines today is about 1 time every 150 hours or so a machine is played. Of course this varies dramatically depending on the machine. The machines pay out tons of winners in smaller dribs and drabs, but that is the common slot math strategy for most slot makers. Make people feel "entertained" along the way while they slowly give up their money $20 at a time.
