There have been many systems tried and I'm sure some have worked. These range from systems designed to create false credits, to systems that create a false payout, to systems that simply make the machines drop coins (although most are coinless these days). However what you have to bear in mind is that most modern machines are designed with all the known tricks in mind. So they are designed to resist such tricks. Most modern machines are wired up so they can transmit information to a main control station. In essence they are equipped to report suspicious activity to security.
Apart from all the security built into a machine there is the ever present eye in the sky. Every square inch of a casino is monitored by cameras. Experts who know every trick comb the room looking for criminals who are trying to con the machines. If a jackpot is hit, they review the tapes and the security logs in the machine to make sure the hit was genuine.
If you get caught trying to cheat the system we are talking a felony here. You are going to do hard time in a federal prison.
The odds of walking into a casino, using a system to create a large payout, and walk out of that casino with the large payout are probably worse than simply getting lucky and hitting the jackpot by pure chance. You would have to fool the machine, all the surveillance, and even after you win they are going to ID you and get all your personal information so that the IRS can get their share of the win. The odds of your getting past all that and your cheating never being discovered is just tiny.
So short answer: No!

nope.
there was a great show on travel channel about it. the companies that make slots have teams of people that try everything they can think of to beat them, so they can learn the weaknesses of the machines and fix the problems.
the only things that did work - there are special lights you can shine up into the coin payout slot that make it think it has counted wrong and keep paying. but if you are caught with one you are arrested, fined, and imprisoned.
many machines now dont even pay with coins, they give you a ticket to cash in, so even this doesnt work everywhere.
They also had a guy who worked for the slot company as a programmer, who put a bug in the code. If you played the right number of coins in the right order, it would automatically hit the jackpot. He was caught and later wrote a book about it.

You can shock it but you'll get busted they know what to look for in the surveillance room. some have used big magnets to alter results again too many eyes.
