    The best advice about gambling came from my mom: When you walk into the casino, look at all the machines plugged in. Look at all the fancy lights. Someone is paying that electric bill.
    It puts in perspective how casinos are designed for you to lose.

    Having a decade of Casino experience in a major Casino, I can tell you two things.
    If you play slots, you will be a loser. You think they got the name one armed bandit because they pay out lol.
    If you work at a casino long enough, in the same area enough, you can guess which ones have a better "Chance" of paying out.
    For example, I worked the evening till morning shift in the same spot for 2 weeks. The third slot from the wall which was in a main isle would go off if someone was playing from 2-2:10am.
    I told a regular player they should play that machine. This person was a table games player only and laughed at the thought playing of a slot machine. But someone else came by, pulled the handle once and they won $2500.

    My wife and I have been playing slot machines for a very long time with the "house's" money. It has been our experience that during any session of playing, there will usually be a time when you're up a little bit. It's important to quit when you're up... don't chase that jackpot. Of course there are always times when you put all of your budget into a machine and reach that stopping point because your budget for that evening is gone. This has rarely happened to both of us in the same day, however. Maybe we've just been lucky, but it feels like knowing when to quit is really the only way we have of moving the odds a little bit.
    We don't really make any money doing this, but it has been an inexpensive way to go out and have some fun together.

    This is by far one of the best videos on slot percentages that I have seen. One caveat, though where he contradicts himself. In one moment he says the higher the denom. the higher the return percent and then he says if someone gets on the machine after you it will be the same percent chance. If they use a different denom. the percent will change. What makes it different is the nanosecond the other pressed the button is most likely not the same nanosecond the you would have pressed the button.
    What I am understanding here is it is wiser to go to the highest denom. and play the lower amount of credits than the other way around. For example, It would be better odds to play a $1denom and 1 credit than a $0.25 denom. at 4 credits

    Been in Vegas for 21 years. Got a flash for you. Going back to the beginning of the year, a master plan has been put into play. Basically, machines have been changed to a progressive/cumulative. Kinda like those videos games that one has to achieve a certain tier level. This is as close an explanation I can give. I don't know if there is an organization of casinos that get together to determine how they all will set there machines, out here on the Boulder strip, the main casinos pretty much play the same. IMO, I think the casinos, unfortunately, don't want to cater to the person that plays 20 to 60 cents a pop. Even though that's the base of most people who play in the off strip casinos. I called it progressive/cumulative. I've been doing my own experiment, I like to play 4 card keno and poker. I noticed that pattern was progressive, 2,3,4,5,6 of a kind based on you game. And it's not just 2 dueces, 3 dueces, etc, then 2 threes, 3 threes, til you work your way up to 4 of a kind, straight, flushes, you basically have to go through all the possibilities. The same with 4 card keno, I realized the only way to win a jackpot is take my money and put it back in my pocket. I was putting in an amount of money that was close to the possible jackpot, the bigger ones four of a kind with a kicker or a royal. Whatever the casinos agreed upon has been reflective in amount of patrons, which has gone down considerably. If I walk into a casino early afternoon or early evening and see the place is empty and that happens too often, that tells me people are staying home. You visit a casino often enough you can read it. When your favorite machine is playing different, fewer bonus spins, have to achieve an out of pocket minimum before something clicks. The ole I win 5, the casino wants 15 back. I don't like those new big blast machines, they only pay out once or twice every couple of years, and mostly on major holidays. An old Italian relative told me to study your business. That's what I do observe how the machine is playing. And unfortunately, it's definitely not in the players best interests, but that is also working against the casinos. Whatever master plan they are on, they forgot Rule #1, CASINOS NEED PEOPLE. PEOPLE DON'T NECESSARILY NEED CASINOS. THERE ARE MAJOR CHANGES COMING. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.

    I know you suggest not playing slots because of the return but one factor in play is the fun factor. I don't play slots JUST so I can make money. I am having fun and being entertained. Sure I can go sit at a table game and grind out a percentage of wins but I don't have fun playing cards. Slot playing is not about breaking the bank but having a fun time playing and if a jackpot hits. Great. If not oh well. I have budgeted money and counted it as a loss before I get to the casino. If I can play for hours and break even its a win. Some visits I have broke even. Other times at a loss and times I've left with a wad of cash. Again its not all about wining but the thrill of playing. If you are a "Gambler" then sure stay away from slots. If you are a "player" then go have some fun.

    • @TheJackpotGents
      @TheJackpotGents  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We would agree. You are supposed to go to a casino to have fun and if you enjoy playing slot machines, then that is the game you should play. However, keep in mind that slots have one of the highest casino edges, and it is especially bad if you play fast. There are other games that have much lower edges for the casino if you can find something else you like.

      You and I have the exact same perspective on playing slot machines. We both see them purely as entertainment. I see gaming as an alternative to going to football/basketball/baseball games, except that I find gaming much friendlier on my pocketbook, has a bigger thrill factor (dopamine), and I occasionally come out ahead. Also, food and drink are ALWAYS a better bargain at a casino than at a stadium.

    Great info, thanks for sharing! I once won in a slot machine, long time ago, in 1999, playing the Wheel of Fortune (WOF) at MGM in LV. After playing on several WOF machines the first night, I noticed someone winning twice on a particular WOF machine. The next night, I played on the WOF machine that person was winning, and I walked out with a profit of $400. The next night, I went to the same WOF machine, and I ended up positive almost $350. Not sure if it is possible that one machine of several same machines has better odds, and this is long time ago, but for me, that machine was different than others 3 nights in a row. After that excitement of winning, I was departing the next morning, so I could never know if the streak of luck (or simply odds) would go on... and on, but it was worthy! 🍀😀

    If you hit a jackpot on a machine, You will no doubt have to wait at least four minutes to wait for your hand pay. If it is a server based machine, the slot manager can legally adjust the payout percentage, so it's best to do a couple backup spins. If it doesn't hit anything, move on.

As long as a machine sat idle for at least four minutes, they could turn the payout percentage of that machine down or even off if they wanted to if they didn't want it to payout anything. The gaming commission told me that they didn't care if EVERY machine was turned off as long as the casino didn't show a profit of more than 30 percent at the end of the year.

The #1 goal is to find a scheme that will allow a break even scenario, then you just keep going until you get lucky , and that is all it is luck, that you hit a major win or jackpot

      So on a $5 machine that has a 3 coin max, you get 3 spins at $15, then 1 spin for $5. Not that great for your chances. On a $1 machine that is 3 coins max, you'd get 16 spins at $3 each, then a final spin for $2. Of course, if you hit some small returns, you'll get a few more spins. Still sounds like luck. However, I will say that betting max coins probably improves your odds slightly, especially if the previous players have not been playing max coins.

    Someone let me know, I have played slots only on a cruise ship (old slot machines) and at the Los Angeles Airport. I was told both of those have higher chances of winning. They say the airport wants you to win more and then you will more then likely travel at that airport again. How true is this?

      The machines are all the same. However, the client can choose the payback percentage from a range. Maybe those places have higher payback percentages than casinos. But like the guy said, these percentages are seen only over huge sample sizes, for example the random testing they do is over hundreds of millions of spins. Unless you are playing for that long, your individual session can go in any direction

      Yes, they go around and collect from the machines in the early morning. Also they are using their cards to reset the EPROM in the machine so that it will start as a zero status. The best time to play slots is when everyone else has left the Casino, and before they start emptying the machines. I’ve used this technique/method for years and hit multiple thousands of dollar jackpots.

    Question about machines "due to hit". Your response is that "there is no such thing as a machine is due to hit". What about machines that advertise "machine must hit by (blank, either some amount or by certain number of spins). How can they make such a claim if each spin is entirely independent?

    • @gregrowe1168
      @gregrowe1168 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You still don’t know when it will hit. And even if it is relatively close like say it’s at $9800 for a $10k jackpot, you still might spend more than $10k to win it. If the machine is linked to other machines with the same jackpot you still might not win it because another player might snatch it away from you while playing the same game. In most cases it would still be a guaranteed win but those numbers only go up a few pennies each spin on a $5 bet for example. Say it goes up 5 cents for each $5 bet. For every $1000 played, it would go up $10. It would take $10k to go up $100. There is no guarantee that would be enough. Granted you’d most likely get some wins playing that many spins but you still might not hit the jackpot and still lose money overall.

      @@mike196212 I met a high limit player who was in Las Vegas playing a 3 coin game, with a BMW as the prize. An Asian lady next to him was playing 2 coins and he said to her, "you should really play 3 coins as you will miss the grand prize if the three face cards (top symbols) come up." She said, "look play your game and I'll play mine." So he shrugged his shoulders and she continued on, eventually getting the three winning symbols. She sat and stared at the machine incomprehendingly. Passersby said, "congratulations!" and "hey way to go, that's amazing!" She sat there pleased and nodding as people stopped every now and then to take a look. She basked in the glory of the win, only she hadn't won. She'd played 2 instead of 3 coins. She was in a daze for a few minutes then talked to a slot attendant, incapable of comprehending what had just taken place. The attendant explained that she had to play 3 to win, and she'd played 2. You meet some interesting characters in casinos. I stopped advising people years ago, I simply let them play that way, rather than have any kind of argument. I've seen this twice, a major hit on a max bet machine, with someone playing one coin short. Anyway after half an hour or so, she gathered her things and said goodbye, good luck, etc. The high limit player (Mike) then made sure she was finished, "you're done - you're leaving?" she nodded and said she was, there were no reserved signs, she had left the playing area. All of this was on camera. He took a seat at the machine and 40 minutes later, the same thing, but he had 3 coins in the machine. He won the BMW. As he was from Canada, he took the cash payout, as he didn't want all the hassle at the border, he said. It was a little less than the value of the vehicle, he said, but a nice payout all the same. (I'm betting it was 20% less - they always hose you when you take the cash option) Anyway the lady came back and freaked out, the machine was locked, and the "Attendant Required" ticker tape onscreen. She flipped her lid, she was yelling and shouting. It was hers, she said. Lots of drama. The Slot manager came over and assured her they'd checked the camera's and she had left the machine, and wasn't playing at the time the reels lined up on the jackpot. The win was half an hour after she had left the playing area around the car. They usually have the car up on a platform. It was a great story, typical casino drama!

      there IS NO very next spin
      each reel on the machine is picking random numbers 100 times a second or faster
      when you hit the play button it shows the win/lose for that one instant and the random number generators keep going
      If you hit the play button every 5 seconds there are 500 to 1000 random combinations that are spun thru in that 5 second interval that you did NOT hit
      if the machine sits for a minute, there are 5000 to 6000 random combinations that are not hit
      You really dont understand how slot machines work, and neither does anyone who says there are patterns you can find that indicate a win is imminent.
      to see any pattern you would have to see all 100 combinations of numbers each second,
      and you would have to see the raw numbers from the virtual reel, not the symbols on the display those numbers select, because there are multiple positions on each reel that cause the SAME symbols to be display.

But one thing I can't get my head around is why it is permitted in the US to not disclose the RTP the game is running at. It stops you from making a truly informed decision on which slot game to play.. I have a personal rule I'll never go below 94%, and usually play 96% and above. Doesn't always work out but it gives you the best chance of success.
