True... Unless... Say the system is aware of good and bad portions of the cycle. Say after a win you will be served bad portions of the cycle until you lost your way back to 90% payout - then are served a good portion again? This is my MG theory. Anyways.

It's quite known that lowest bet size will give many more lower wins - while max bet will give fewer low wins but higher ones. Several online sites, and documentaries on casinoes and sllots confirms this. (Not to say own gameplay) This has been discussed several times before aswell.

You don't say... I think the MG BJ is a slot like everything else, except that the spin is shown with cards instead.
