No, slot machines do not actively balance themselves. They are designed to reach their payback percentage naturally over millions of spins due to the math and probability built into their programming. The idea that a machine will change its behavior to balance out past wins or losses is a myth. Each spin is an independent event, and the outcomes over time will align with the game's programmed payback percentage.
