Again I don't know the exact wording but IIRC he made it sound like they "select" a good-looking non-winner, which isn't true Watching the episode now. He said that since the machines became computerized, they added more winning spots, and some are programmed to hit more than others. He said that the spots in between each winning item are programmed to hit more, so it looks like you were so close to winning but just missed. He also said that machines purposely show you a confusing number of ways to win (the winning lines that you get more and more of as you max bet) and they give you false wins where you win but dont even end up making back the amount you bet.
