Since the first slot machines were mechanically based, it's really no surprise that some crafty players decided to exploit the inner workings in order to win every time they played. Over time, this battle between manipulators and slot machine manufacturers became something of a battlefield, with the gaming companies constantly trying to block any exploits or holes in their security systems. Now with the advent of online slots, the opportunities for cheating to win are much reduced to zero.

Thanks to the house edge, the casino will always win in the long run. That's the nature of its business. But for some gamblers, that's unacceptable. They spend considerable time and effort in designing methods by which they can beat the house. Of course, these tactics are not fair, legal or sportsmanlike. The idea is to take as much money from the casino, without getting caught. Some use sleight of hand, others develop tiny computers or put together expert blackjack card counting teams.
