the real issue is if a slot can have multiple algorithyms for things like different bet sizes, country of origin, bonus user, etc.... that's the part that scares me, though i don't think i have seen obvious signs of that in all the years i've played slots.

Agreed. If the end result is 95% collusion would be the iable reason to not run a true 'random' slot.(ringers who work for the casino knowing a trick and collecting the big wins, laundering the money back) or slimy promotions (give new players better chances, target markets, etc. and other reasons in your last paragraph)
