But that does not mean all machines are subject to plain old luck. Machines can be set to pass or accept winning combinations according to the house (casino) policy.

But that's not the whole story by a long shot. You can't just read this article and others on this site and think you now know it all. Far from it. There is a lot more to know to put the basic knowledge you learned into practical use, time and time again.
