The cheating method is very interesting, but even the WIRED article leaves a lot of unanswered questions. Even if one knows what PRNG is used (the Mersenne Twister, for example), how in the world do they know how the PRNG is used? Are we generating integers, bits, bytes, do these numbers correspond to probabilities? To specific slots? Etc. It just seems very unlikely to me that this kind of operation is possible without some kind of inside man that gives the cheaters a look at the source code (or at least an idea of how the slot machines work).
