Does anyone know how this is done by existing systems? I know that RL fruit machines have a lot of stuff devoted to this, and I really wonder how it's done by SL games that are skill based (eg, Bingtris with the Jackpot addon with floating time limit)

if you want to guarantee wins.. just make it win..
when you roll, check the time since last win (or amount of money paid in, or amount of spins.. whatever you prefer) then, if it is time to let the player win regardless of whether the next spin is a win or not.. simply set the reels/spinners to the winning combination "manually". I guess it could be considered to be the oppossite of rigging a machine to never payout.
for example.. if you need to get B-B-B to win.. and the time since last win is greater than the amount you have set it to, nstead of randomly rolling the 3 reels; roll them to simulate the roll, then set them to B-B-B immediately after the roll. The player won't care if it jumps slightly.. because hey.. they are winning, right?
Anyway.. to be honest, it's pretty simple to guarantee payout.. or rig to never pay out and still make it look random.

Maybe it's just me, but it makes more stochastical sense to make the random roll become increasingly more rigged toward a winning combination with the number of non-winning tries, and reset it after a win. That is, if a lot of time passes with no win in between, the probability to get a winning combination increases with each new no-win try, until it actually goes out.
