I wonder if it's even worse.. by law they are required to have a certain statistical payout right?

What if the casino can enable "win mode" for their favorite customers staying in high priced rooms, and then turn it to basically zero for foot traffic. At the end of the month the machine paid out the correct ratio... Except you as a general player had zero chance to win because it paid out to their loyal customer earlier in the day.

I mean, the software and RNGs are audited. The legal odds have to be true in any given spin. If your suggestion it is only in monthly aggregate was true, they wouldn't waste it on favorite customers. They would accept a bid of millions of dollars to accept free slot machines from a vendor, have their customers lose money all month and then have a vendor rep come in once a month to win a suspiciously large payout that made the math work out. (Or some other third party, since I assume a casino employee could not win on their own machine)

Casinos cannot alter odds on any machine (or rather they could, but it would be highly illegal) and have absolutely no reason to. Variance does that job for them quite fine.

Don't think its worth the risk. You'd lower the average percentage player payout from like 98% (might be defaulted lower in Vegas, not sure) to low 90s and bump a few to over 100? it doesn't sound worth the risks. regular high rollers will still go there and still be profitable with regular slot odds.
