No, the odds of a pokie machine paying out are not influenced by how frequently they pay out. This myth is best known as ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ pokie machines and superstitious gamblers would tell you that a ‘hot’ machine is liable to pay out, while a ‘cold’ machine is unlikely to pay out.
Thanks to the random number generator technology ensuring fair gameplay, ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ pokie machines are just a myth. While you may experience multiple wins or losses in a row, this is just the probability at work, rather than the machine being ‘hot’ or ‘cold’.
