All you will get is that the machine pays 95%. What is in question is HOW it does this, are the REELS THEMSELVES random, or are merely the RESULTS random. The difference is important, as if only the RESULTS are random, you may see payouts that are inconsistent with the frequency and position of the symbols on the reels. This is certainly the case with the early slots, such as 5 Reel Drive, yet MG have always assured players that EVERYTHING is totally random.
Sadly, they have been found out too often, it does not affect the payouts, but does show they are not being truthful as to how the software arrives at them. The ONLY thing I believe to be random is the core RNG, I suspect that past this, the results are formed by mechanisms that do not reflect the game materials as displayed.
5 Reel Drive was exposed as being weighted, and not random in the sense that the reels had equal chance of stopping on each position, and worse still, by playing less than max lines players might only get 88% payout instead of 96% as on all 9 lines.
Treasure Ireland & the other "Fruit Machines" are not random, although they meet their target payout over the full cycle. On these, what is offered depends on what has been taken, and paid out, in previous spins.
Many players report seeing patterns in many other games, but these have been explained away by the brain wanting to see patterns in chaos. Without a full audit of the source code, we will never know, but each time they get caught out in an untruth, they lose the credibility of their statement of randomness.
Bingo is random, but if I am playing Thunderstruck, I am expecting to be playing a 5 reel slot, not a game of bingo pretending to be one.
