Meanwhile, Livingston was regularly sinking tens of thousands of dollars into the slot machines and coming away empty handed.
The discovery was made by PC Gamer's Christopher Livingston, who noticed while playing slots that all of the non-playable characters (NPCs) around him seemed to be winning. Here's the truth: GTA Online's slot machines are screwing players while lining the pockets of the NPCs. Is it that the slot machines are overly kind and are just handing out free money to whoever pulls the lever? Are the slot machines constructed entirely from chocolate and we're only noticing now? Do the slot machines warp in and out, as though they're caught between two dimensions? None of those, it turns out, are correct.
