Can a magnet help you win on a slot machine?

Back in the beginning of slot machines, it was possible to use a magnet to help you win on a slot machine, as the machine payouts were based strictly off the location of the reels. Advancements in how the machines are constructed eliminated this issue. Slot machines are now all electronic and are completely random. The reels on the machine are strictly for entertainment, display, and, as the casinos call it, 'eye candy'. Today, there is nothing you can do to a slot machine with a magnet that will help you win. Although, on a video machine with a CRT (not an LCD) monitor you will get a attractive rainbow affect on the screen. However, if you are noticed using a magnet on a slot machine by security or surveillance it may get you thrown out, or worse, they will detain you and call the police. The police will arrest you for attempted tampering of a gaming device. However, most of the casinos no longer see this as a threat. Even though the magnet won't help you win and won't permanently harm the slot machine, this is considered attempted cheating and casinos (and law enforcement) will consider you an undesirable and could bar you from all casinos in that jurisdiction. Amended answer: Magnets were not usable to cheat older machines either, despite what rumors may have flourished at the time. Mechanical machines of the teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, etc, were cheated by drilling small holes in them, and using a stiff piece of wire to manipulate the reels or other parts of the machine. There is no way to cheat an antique slot machine with a magnet.
