Hot or cold machines are to a large extent an unproven recount of a players experience in a particular slot machine. Slot machines are programmed to produce random results and more so slots winnings are a result of chance and not strategy. However, professional players argue that hot slots could produce higher rewards than what is invested while cold machines are considered inactive and with fewer chances of winning. The hot or cold machines are myths and not a basis to classify a machine since the results are unpredictable and randomly generated.
