Although this chip is simple to replace from what I understand this is not frequently done. Some casinos do not mix tight and loose machines but maintain a specified payback on all machines of a given coinage.

Slot machines are programmed to go through a cycle of payoffs. Although the cycle can span thousands of spins once it reaches the end the outcomes will repeat themselves in exactly the same order as the last cycle. This is not true at all. Every trial is random and independent of all past trials. Slot machines are programmed to pay off a particular percentage of money bet.
