Are repeat chances true skill?
No, but by law they do have to be random. However, before you get too excited, the ‘chance’ element is increased based on how desperate the machine is to pay. If a machine is at the payout percentage target, it could offer a tiny chance of a repeat. However, if it hasn’t paid out much and needs to in order to reach the target, you may find it has a 50:50 chance (the maximum permitted by law). Even if it doesn’t repeat, you may get another big win (or jackpot) very quickly after! The actual repeat is chosen by the machine in advance, so the actual pressing of the button is purely pseudo skill. A machine that doesn’t repeat may therefore still pay out later simply because you were unlucky that time. Machines that offer a “true skill” repeat are only doing so after it has already decided, at random, to award a repeat. It might look good, but you’ve actually now got a chance to lose that you didn’t before!
