You have exactly the same chance of hitting the jackpot again the next spin. Or at least, if you don't have the same chance, the game isn't fair.

This idea, that slots have different mood type settings like 'I'm paying', 'I'm not paying', 'I'm treading water' etc is just erroneous in my mind. It's surely a perception you get when spinning a slot and having a particular result, but there's no incentive for a casino to do this.

They can have a completely random slot that reliably achieves x% payout over a big enough number of trials and anything else would in fact be much much MORE difficult to program (and completely unnecessary). The only imaginable advantage to weighting a slot like this would be if a casino was underfunded and wanted to kill variance, although their long term payout would be exactly the same.

I doubt this is happening at all, but I'd be absolutely amazed if it's happening at any sizable casino. There's no reason to do it, it'd be way more difficult to do, and nobody would like it. Futher evidence that no weighting occurs, in the case of the big casinos, is the variation in payout % from month to month, they'd be much more likely to be identical if weighting was happening.
