I'm not sure about how exactly these arcade machines work, but online slots are random & have definitive payout percentages.

For example, myself & several other people have plotted out the reel layouts of some of Microgaming's most popular slots. By entering these layouts into a 'simulator' program you can work out all the possible combinations of reel stops, add up all the possibly wins & work out the exact return of the slot.
e.g. Microgaming's Thunderstruck has a return of 95.05%

Another example is a roulette wheel - this is totally random and yet it has an exact HA of 2.7027% (Euro single-zero, non partage).

Like I said, I'm not sure about the £500 arcade games, but I see no reason why they can not be 100% random & have a fixed return % just like any other casino game.
