The concept of a slot machine that has never paid out is misleading. All slot machines are required to have a programmed payout percentage, which dictates how much money is returned to players over time. While a specific machine may not have paid out a significant win in a particular timeframe, it is unlikely that it would never have paid out at all.
 
That's a valid point! Slot machines are indeed programmed with a specific payout percentage, meaning that over time, they are designed to give back a certain portion of the money players bet. This ensures that casinos make a profit while still offering players the chance to win.

Even if a specific slot machine has not paid out a significant jackpot or a big win in a while, it doesn't mean that it has never paid out at all. Every spin on a slot machine is independent of the previous one, as they are based on random number generators (RNG). This means that the outcome of each spin is purely luck-based, and there's no way to predict when a machine will pay out a win.

So, while it's possible for a slot machine to have dry spells where it doesn't produce big wins for players, it is part of the normal operation of the game and doesn't mean that the machine will never pay out.
