Do the casinos tighten them up occasionally? Are some machines "looser" at different times than others?

Yes, they are. They were programmed so that the casino can set their percentage of pay out. Some machines have 98% pay outs, some have less. Let's say that you stick $100.00 in a machine that has a pay out of 98%, then, if you are lucky, you'll get back $98.00. I asked the same question to my bf since he used to develop these types of machines at IGT.

Modern slot machines are completely computerized and the outcome of every spin is random. There is a device in each machine called a random number generator (RNG) that is continually producing outcomes based on reel positions, for example 5-8-11, even as the reels are spinning. When the first coin passes through the comparator or the bet credit button is pushed, the computer inside the machine records and displays on the reels the outcome that the RNG had at that very moment. The RNG never stops.
The aggregate payout percentage is set by the manufacturer at the time of production, although I do not know if these percentages can be specified by the buyers, I do know that the CPU inside every machine is sealed by the local gaming commission and verified routinely by the in house slot technicians. Most states also require inspection of a machine after a significant payout. To my knowledge, the aggregate payout percentage cannot be changed.
Anyone who has spent a good deal of time observing slot machines in a casino will be able to tell you approximately which ones historically pay out. Not unlike investments, however, past performance is not an indication of future results.

You can do lots with a slot but the PC is only adjustable to a couple of points one way or the other. The events are random and the integrity of the spins are policed. It's not the CPU's that are sealed it's the EPROM chips that are checked and must be the correct ones. You can buy chips sets that allow you to change the way a machine will payout slightly, they allow more smaller payouts and restrict the bigger wins.

The numbers generators are set at the manufacturing company's.
They can be set loose or tight depending on the casinos specs. It is to much bother for the casinos to change because no slots pay out 100 o/o.

They certainly can be changed. It depends on the location, but they can be set looser or tighter, and they change all the time. After they are set for a certain percentage payout (usually about 95% to98%) meaning that for every dollar you put in they house will keep 5% to 2%. So if you put in a dollar you will get back, on average $.95 or $.98 back. That % is what builds those big hotels!!

Totally random. Tampering with or "tightening" slot machines is a felony. Such practice would cost a casino its gaming license.

The black slot above the two white ones is the PCI-E slot and that would desire to help a Nvidia 610. The white slots would desire to help sound collaborating in enjoying cards and community collaborating in enjoying cards. So your motherboard would desire to be only effective to run a 610.

There is no such thing as a "totally random" slot machine because slots are computer controlled.
