Each slot has a number and color that matches corresponding numbers and colours on the gambling table. The numbers are from one to 36, with half black and half red. One of the oldest jokes on the planet is to call slot machines "one armed bandits" because - with some of the highest percentages against you in the casino, that is precisely what they were - and still are. However, it's now more suitable to simply call them bandits, because you do not have to tug the handle any more - just push a button. The force of the handle being pulled down turned the metal gears that turned the wheels on the machine. Essentially, you no longer had to drag the handle, since the wheels were electric. All you had to do was push the "play" button to start the wheels.
If you pull the handle slow or fast, whether you use the handle or the play button, if a jackpot has not long ago been paid on that machine or not, none of these has any bearing on the result. Since the results are absolutely random with each play, the undeniable fact that a machine hasn't paid a jackpot for a long time doesn't suggest that it's "ready" to pay.
