So, whomever owns the machines and runs the casino is unable to alter the machines once they are in service?

They can change them by changing the RNG which is the very expensive guts of the machine so no, usually only done if there is a breakdown. To explain the difficulty, in Vegas or AC it is illegal to change the RNG unless notifying the controlling agency. 
 

There are changes coming with new technology but in the past changing the win percentage was not true.   Your earlier comment is one of many,  I have seen people say you win on sea days, before dinner, after dinner and even last day.

I appreciate your explanations.  Thank you; I continue to learn.

Your Roll Call usually sets this up. Everyone pays, like, $10 to join. It is set up by the casino staff. You sit at a slot machine, maybe 5 all next to each other. Then, you don't pull anymore you hit the buttons to play as fast as you can and it is timed. I forget how they determine the winner but they do. I did it once but it wasn't fun hitting buttons as fast as you can.

I believe you're talking about a slot tournament, not a slot pull.

# 1 Myth of slot machines according to Simply Slots magazine. The machines operate on the random number generator RNG and are not changed during cruise. Look it up on internet. Bottom line they don’t have to change the RNG, they always win. I have seen loads of theories with locations to win and times, they are all bogus.

I have yet to lose on a cruise playing slots.

Some of us are lucky and some of us are not.

The 'math' does not work for us.
