For those who don't want to sit through long-winded explanations, here they are. 1)Don't drink too much. 2)Don't get a credit card cash advance 3)Don't overbet your bankroll 4)Don't chase your losses. 5)Don't get a line of credit from the casino. 6)Don't cheat, or even attempt to cheat. 7)Don't take credit on a slot machine that belongs to someone else. (Losers weepers, finders keepers, I say.) 8)Don't blame your losses on other players
I usually only put 20 in a slot machine at a time. One time I was playing a batman slot machine where you got to do the hero and switch to the villan back and forth. Some how 20 bucks lasted me over an hour. I wasn't hitting big but i was hitting enough to keep me going and had the best time. Then another time I put 20 bucks into buffalo wilds and did a 3.60 bet and hit a bonus on the first spin and hit over 300 bucks so I immediately cashed out and left lol
Won a straight flush playing 3 card poker ended up winning $3,300. Yup, in the bag with to many drinks and have no idea where that money went. Very true, don’t drink and gamble. Thanks.
This isn't a bad video for people who just start gambling.I feel the main tip is to know your limits. The most helpful thing for me was learning about not taking credits 🙃..
These were just tips on what not to do in life in general. Don’t get stupid drunk. Don’t get a credit card cash advance. Don’t make decisions when angry. Don’t over extend yourself or write bad checks. Don’t cheat. Don’t steal. Don’t blame others for your mistakes.
Before heading out there for first time in 1998, I watched a lot of available videos. Then there was a documentary on PBS about Vegas and slot machines. It was a great primer for first time gamblers. And I follow many of the tips they gave. First one I follow to this day is to never play the winnings. Its harder to do that now with the ticket system. It used to be easy to follow this with cash payout machines. So lets say I win $75 on video poker. I'll cash out, cash the ticket, and then put the $75 to take back to hotel. Then it goes into the safe or other safe place. It makes the trip home. Since I never play more than I take, its a great policy.
I did this once when I hit $4000 on video poker. Took the money up to my room and locked it in the safe then went back down to gamble. Darn I;'m out, head back to the room. By the time I quit for the night I had less than a $1000
Something to note on credits left in the machines. The majority of machines I see are designed to leave you an odd number you can't spend. You're forced to cash out a minuscule ticket or leave it planned in the machine for the next person or apparently to set them up for disaster.....
Thanks guys. I knew all of what you said and practice it whenever I go to a Casino. ONE thing I didn't know was about the money left on a Slot Machine Rule. I gamble mainly in Cripple Creek and have seen a few times where money was left on a Slot but thought someone would be back to continue their play. Here, a person can either prop/lean their chair on the front of the machine which tells people they'll be back or you can get a placard at the Cash Booth that reads, "THIS GAME IN PLAY" DO NOT TOUCH". Good to know about the money left though. I never knew that.
Had a friend who was playing digital blackjack and was supposedly up $800 at one point, walked away to get a drink (WHY?!?!?) and came back it was all gone
Why are you eating at a $1.99 buffet? Loosen the purse strings man. You're probably one of those who limit themselves to a $20.00 a day budget in Vegas. I tip that 4 a couple of beers when cocktail waitress is nice.
Rule of Thumbs: Once you win .. no matter how much you got .. Just leave the place. Then, come back another time. Same like when you lost .. just leave and come back another day. You just budget yourself and stick to your budget.
Yep that is my strategy. Leave the casino when you lose $700 or win $1700, whichever comes first. I am breaking even so far, but I am ahead in having fun.
Linda Fukuyu, The first time I ever gambled in Vegas, I started with $500 and within 2 or 3 hours, I was up to around $2000 playing slots and Blackjack. I cashed out, went back to my room and put 50% of the money in the room safe and swore not to touch it for gambling purposes. I only played with the money I designated for gambling. This has served me well and it works, if you have the will power to stick to it!
Rule #7: The casinos need to post that rule on the machines for it to be enforceable. I tear my tickets up; I prefer to leave the tickets for the next player. I have also pulled my ticket out and given it to anyone approaching the machine to play.. It is my money NOT the casinos.
the casino has to explain that finders keepers only applys to children?! you dont know if something belongs to you or not?! How bout Thou shalt not steal!
Interesting idea. We will keep that one in mind for the future. We did once interview a slot manager at a major Las Vegas casino to ask about various slot myths., such as: “The casino can flip a switch to make the machines hold more.” Or, “the machines are set tighter on the weekends.” You can read that article here - www.americancasinoguide.com/slot-machines/interview-with-a-slot-manager.html
As a visitor to Vegas from Ireland......had a few drinks....not by any means drunk, was at the end of a Blackjack table...……..the dealer couldn't get a 1 Dollar bill down the slot with the holder....this went on for about 10-15 seconds......so I just touched the edge of the dollar to help it down...….was up 250 already on the table...….dealer then grabbed my wrist, and said.....words i'll never forget.....'Do that again and it'll be the last thing you ever do'...….I profusely apologised that I didn't know the etiquette....but to a very dirty look....2 older American gents at the table said to him...that there was no need for the heavy handedness.....it shook me to be honest...….was up some more then after a while....but I could tell the difference in his voice when he was dealing with me....took him for 200 bucks on one hand and was about to get up, when they changed the dealer, as they do...….the Pit Boss was hovering...so I then apologised again.....he was fair with a smile, explained the situation......yeah it was wrong of me....it was just a natural thing to help.....but given the chips I had on the table....OR NOT...….I think they might have felt embarrassed ….I mean, some Paddy travels half way around the Earth from Ireland to heist a 1 Dollar Bill? ( back then....1 Euro was equal to USD$1.55...so I wasn't a poor man by any means)....next thing I was comped a few drinks....not that I asked....but thanked them and tipped the waitress a hefty sum......but it taught me a lesson in life
Number 7 happened to me just recently. I sat down at a machine and put my ticket in, put my card in, hit max bet. Didn't even look at the last payout or anything. I knew the machine I wanted to play it. Security came over and told me there was a bit over a dollar left on the machine. I said sorry I didn't even notice. Then he wen't into the rules and how its theft and the person who forgot it was upset etc. I explained to him the person never even came over and said anything, it wasn't a big deal I'd gladly give them the money back it was a simple mistake. I pulled a $5 out (its all I had other than what was in the machine) and handed it to the security guard and told him just to give him the 5 and tell them sorry for me. Other than being told to make sure I pay more attention, which I most certainly will and will just hand my few cent leftovers to someone instead of leaving it that was all that happened luckily.
Eric Mollenhour security Should never had approached for less that a buck. Reason is Person before Left Plus pulled their card So no You done nothing wrong You put your money in and card Lot of people will either leave a ticket Since only pennies Not wanting to bother cashing out So no Not true About the getting into trouble crap. Once you pull card And leave Even if pennies still in Person could’ve cashed out. Since person pulled card.
The Casino. People Get To Keep All The Money Left In The Machines And Divide It up Among Themselves The End Of The Year Big Bucks. They Usually Don't Care About 1, 2, 5 Cents
a lot of us don't pay attention when we go to a machine , i will save someones machine while they go to the restroom and they got 15.00 or so in it and people are ready to sit down ....now when crowded i always ask if they are saving the seat.....one lady said yes and i sat next to her other side but her fake friend never came and i asked after 20min did you friend flash herself down the toilet she said no i put a lot of money in that machine so im saving it for me....i was pissed...i went to another machine around the corner and won like 200.00 i told her thank you for making me go else where and showed her my 200.00 ticket .....lol...
I’ve had someone take my machine with money in it before & I had my jacket and all on the machine even; they just plain old moved my stuff & took my money all chill lmfao 🤣 bottom line always cash out when using bathroom should be a # lol
I don't gamble for religious reasons but it's nice to see that there are guys like you who are trying to look out for those who do gamble and stopping them from hurting themselves too much. Hats off to you.
Should add a 9th thing. In Wisconsin (not sure of other states) U can choose whether to have taxes taken out or not on hand pay before they do the 1099. I see people say no, take all the $, then end up loosing it all back. Now they are broke and ALSO have to come up with the $ due on April 15th!
Since Covid...I quit going. It was a hard habit to break but I have. I might go for special occasions but no more. It's sad to watch people lose money they don't have. Hundreds. Thousands. I would get sick when I lost 20 bucks. Now I don't worry about it. Hard but true.
#7 The rules are different state to state. In Maryland if someone see credit on a slot machine. It's call abandoned funds. Now you can't just cash it out but you can insert your money and play as if it was your money.
to me that makes the most sense and cashing it out (if posessionof the machine has been ceded to you by the establishments rules/policys eg the previous player left it unattended longer than the permitted time with no sign or word to the pit host) should be okay too because its credits not legal tender/money. when you sit there you "rent" the machine from the establishment as its patron as generally they are renting it from the manufacturer the machine and its credits are owned by the manufacturer(the cash input by players is owned by the state and establishment owner NOT the credits. Considering the current consensus views this issue people should be able to be arrested for using and cashing out THEIR OWN rented/purchased credits in the machine and thats not logical is it? IMO as far as I can tell from a technical standpoint the "credits" are owned by the manufacturer under control of the game.(where I play there are even signs indicating "malfuction voids payment blah blah blah.." if that is lawfully true that means the credits are already forfeited TO THE game machine/its owners by default. Its relevant here to note: Neither the establishments nor their state's have any way of taking the value of credits directly from a machine without commanding it to print a voucher or perhaps I could imagine through some other manual record keeping process that would have to be honored by crews maintianing the machines..usually its people sent by the machine manufacturers(ie their true owners.) Just as players only resume limited rights to their exchanged credits' value by printing out a voucher from the machine under good faith principles where it relinquishes the value of the credits to the voucher(owned whoever possess it..and therefore naturally becomes property of the establishment if dispossesd by anyone else while on its premises)..within a frame of time and if in good condition usually an ATM style machine or the establishment by some other means is expected to redeem back to the players the cash/legal tender value of the voucher which is then of course fully owned solely by whoever is entitled to it by whatever laws of the land. Based on how the syatem works as far as I can tell the only thing the establishment or state should have indsiputable claim to in the process is abandoned vouchers on the premises and not in possession of a player or at a machine/rented space occupied in good faith by a player. Its arguable that those parties(state and casino/establishment) may have claims to unused credits calculated on a machine as: abandoned,"misplaced" property(intellectual?) as the original lease/liscense holders of the machines but its a claim just as flimsy as any player who is allowed (under the terms of the establishment) to "rent" that machine by inputing their funds and or merely being sanctioned to occupy it. To that extent it would strengthen house claims if they posted rules that convey that players only are considered having taken possession of the machines if their are no unclaimed credits on it among whatever other house rules they make clear to the patrons. In other words the house does not convey occupation of the console to players until all stated conditions are met (same as if they were conveying a sub-lease to an apartment to them...if terms are not stated or statutory they are not enforceable.) As sensible as my view on this may sound(to me at least) its best to avoid having to try and convince a judge to agree with anything you or I have ot say..just follow at the very least the house/casino rules if not the state/nation's position on these issues...and cooperate as best you can if things go wrong by anyone's mistakes. Its been my experience that being a do gooder with money(at least the substantial sums) pays off more often than not.
Can't do it in Pennsylvania. I got criminal charges for taking cash out slip found on floor. I didn't think it was a big deal, but the casino says it is their money.
A little old lady left a few coins in the machine and walked away. I wasn't sure how she looked so I wouldn't have been able to find her. I played it off and won $50.00.
Once someone wanted me to have their change off their ticket. I asked had he been lucky... He said yes. I allowed him to put it in my machine and I got bonuses!
When you brought up about the Bahamas, it reminded me of a time back in the early 1980s were several friends and I took one of the cruises out of Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas. Once you get out into international waters they open up the casinos on the ship. We made it to the Bahamas and we got to the casino there and played until it was time to go back to the ship. I kind a lost all my money and when we got back on the ship and out to international waters they opened up the casino again I had a little bit of money stashed so I played until I lost that. My one friend was doing really good And I would swing by his table to check up and see how he was doing. I asked him if he wanted a drink and he said sure and give me a $20 chip. Well this happened I would say about eight or 10 times which every time I would get a $20 chip. When we got back to Fort Lauderdale on the way home my friend basically is talking about how expensive the drinks were on the ship. One of my other friends said what do you mean? The drinks were all free on board. Well I got the stink eye cbecause I kept taking the $20 and bring him drinks. To this day he never let me forget it.I just thought it was a funny little story.
RE taking credits on machines...wouldn't the best advice be to call for an attendant (or security) BEFORE you even touch the machine and let them decide what to do? I feel that Matt's strategy of cashing out and placing the ticket on top of the machine can still get you in trouble, as it will take a review of the security footage to show you had no bad intent. I think that, in most cases, if you use the approach I suggested, you will not only stay completely out of trouble, but maybe the casino would actually allow you to play the credits in some cases.
this happened to me recently. found $150 in a machine and hit a jackpot for $1500. guy came back shortly after and happily agreed on taking back the 150 he had in there prior to me showing up. you should NEVER under any circumstance leave a machine without cashing the ticket first, no matter how little of a time you’re gone for. once you leave money and walk away from the machine it’s free game
List of things you should always do in a casino.. 1.Take all your money,credit cards to the casino.. 2.Get drunk 3.bet big 4.if you have to lose it all go for the gusto!!chances make champions!! 5.dont quit when your ahead!think big and double,triple,quadruple your winnings. 6.if you lose it all,chase your losses,call a close friend or relative and get some cash sent to you via money gram or cash app. 7.go into your 401k if needed..chances make champions and your luck will change.
I played machine without a casino card, machine was hitting like crazy, I was having so much fun,soon I put my casino card in get lots of points,the fun was over, machine got cold,so I quit using casino card.happens every time to me.
Congrats, you’re getting no comps while getting the exact same results. You are every casinos favorite player. You are a true genius and should write a book
Gambling is a tax on people who dont understand probability and you are the poster child the odds are ALWAYS THE SAME and they are ALWAYS AGAINST YOU WINNING
Thank you for the advice. I'm new to the world of going to a casino in person and useing real money. I want to go and have fun but not get myself in trouble financially. Thank you.
Interesting. I've left credits in a machine because i didn't want to hassle with a slip for a few cents. I didn't realize that could cause trouble for someone else coming along to play the machine. I felt I was helping someone else with a few credits. I'll always cash out and just dump the slip in a trashcan. I also read where some of the casinos in Laughlin have a charity bin where you can put your unwanted cash slips that they then donate to charity.
In Oklahoma there is a casino that is less than 100 ft. from a prison. They share a parking lot. Even if your not doing any thing wrong you feel uneasy.
Guilty to number 7, cashing in credits left over on a slot machine. I walked into the high stakes slot area strictly out of curiosity (not looking for credits), and a machine had $200.00 in credits on it. No one was gambling in the vicinity and I actually waited for five minutes or so in case someone went to the bathroom. No one returned so I put five dollars in and then cashed out.
@@shape5685 That was my money I remembered you give me my $224 back!! It is mine Where are you lol lmao Screw that I find money in a slot machine Im keeping it Its mine!! Really who is going to say oh is this your $500 voucher? Here you go!! I am so happy to give you this $500 back to you Right!!!
@@zerofivr4949 actually, wrong. Many times the victim will report to Security that their voucher/credits are missing. Then they call Surveillance (me) and we will rewind video and see who took it, and either track them down in the casino or identify then in several other ways and be tracked down. (not 100%, but like 95% we catch the person). Not worth it. Same as if you find a wallet or purse. If you think you are ok to just keep that, you are sadly mistaken.
@@stevieg314 look I have no idea who u r But I don't walk around casinos like u do looking for purses or wallets or vouchers I go to gamble I don't care who leaves money in a slot machine or who loses money in a slot machine I could care less I don't care what in the state of Ohio once you leave your seat and you do not cash out your voucher you lose that voucher in the state of Ohio.
Don't feel lonely I use to live on the beach in Biloxi MS and I had a ton of casino's in walking distance I use to drink a lot BK then and o if I only had all that money I lost and invested I would be 1 hell of a a rich B but I use to win thousands I mean like 30 40 thousand and when I would win that big I would actually be able to get up and walk out the casino and all though I would win that much once in a while I still lost because the money I spent all together from the time I moved there was more than all my winnings but I will say I'm addicted I can now pass by a casino and not even want to go in but my problem is once I walk through them doors that's it consider me done because I'll either win are spend every penny I have trying I don't even like to go to them anymore I had got a good chunk of money and I wanted to take my sister on a nice vacation I told her we could go wherever she wanted what does she pick a casino I actually tried my best to get her to pick somewhere else I told her you know how I am at a casino I don't have fun I'm only there to try and win but she insisted so we went and I knew I was going to loose before we went I had that feeling and sure enough I had no luck spent alot of money but she had a blast so I guess that's all that matters and I didn't spend all my money like I would of in the past .
I play in Michigan mostly... Mt.Pleasant and Detroit... and I have found a dollar, 50 cents, a couple bucks in machines more than a few times, cashed them out and took it and I was never hassled for it. But I have been politley told by an employee that looking for coins in the tray people missed is technically a crime and if I am seen obviously doing it long enough, someone WILL come and talk to me about it. But if you sit down to play and theres a few quarters there, its not gonna be an issue. I was also told finding money on the floor is against the law too.
#7 "Credits left on a machine belong to either the previous player OR TO THE CASINO". Actually it means, very plainly, that a Casino that keeps that money instead of finding and giving it to the prior player IS ALSO COMMITTING A FELONY (oh, but someone give me odds on whether that is done - or enforced).
tehnically the credits should belong to the machine/its owners usually the manufactuer would retain those rights as intellectual property. Only the actual money in the machine and any vouchers printed by it should be claimable by players or the vendor/Casino and their state/government overseers. Do you ever see those signs on a slot machine that that says "malfunction voids play and any winnings?" yeh thats evidence of who rightfully "owns" those "credits". That there should give liscense to whoever as currently allowed to take possession/rent the machine(whether a patron or the establishment) or its space to play,convert to a voucher/ticket or otherwise claim unused/abandoned credits. Basically once you put your cash into it the cash is spent converted into being part of the machine/its games..If i put a coion into PAc Man game that doesn't give me or the pizzaria Im at any right to claim the pac man sprite in the game... fotunately the slot games are designed to fortfiet the vlaue of credits back into the world as vouchers or tickets which can be redeemed for real cash at a specific atm or by contacting attendant..the machine is pretty much a third party and thats awesome to me becuase it should make such things like abandoned credits fair game subject to whatever house/state rules allow players to rent the machine and play...by the extreme of Colorado's logic the Casino should be able to just suspend play and claim ownership of whatever players put into the machines or win whenever they feel like it..that third party element eleminates that obvious slanted loophole of ambiguity imo, but who am I to try to bring logic to a legal issue. :P
if i find money i would go to the cage tell them if someone is asking if money was turned in to give my phone no. call me and i will give them the money if they tell me the correct amount. i will personally give it to them...not giving it to casino cause if no one claims who gets it
@@gladymills2732 well of course the casino! Just like a store if you leave change at the drive up window it sits there until closeing then its put into an envelope & dropped into the safe! Where it either goes to the big boss or the store! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
credits belong to the previous player. If someone won a large payout when they had $200 in the machine, requiring an attendant to hand pay the winner. the machine ONLY dispenses the hand pay, leaving the original $200 in the machine. The player was so excited they did not notice and walked away. the casino can easily check their hand pay records, and will have the name and address of the player
I was losing at the Kentucky Derby. I lost my $400 on the early races as big longshots were winning. I mix up favs with price horses and an occasional all on pick 3 bets. So I got a $600 cash advance on my cc. I put $100 wps on Always Dreaming. Made a fifty cents tri with AD to all with all. Then I added a $2 exacta who with AD to all. I won about $8,000. So if it's your day it's your day
I remember a couple years ago im playing blackjack at woodbine here in toronto im up 60 bucks from my original 20 i was gonna play one last hand so im dealt two kings just for the hell of it i split them and was dealt aces on both and the guy next to me got royally pissed off and started cursing at me and saying i stole his ace i stole his ace. Heres the kicker , we're playing on an e-table basically like playing on a giant tablet so basic strategy is less useful because its simulated cards
I want to come back to rule number 7 and let you all know that the Wynn Casino in MACAU, special economy zone of China, enforces that "Colorado Slot Machine" law as well. The casino security informed police and immigration when a friend of mine played there. The amount has been unfortunately an equivalen of about 500 US Dollars somebody forgot in the slot and he did not realize it and thought he won an instant jackpot. How ever - he left the casino and while leaving the country he was busted of immigration - send to police and arrested. He was quite lucky as I pressured the immigration and police and he could leave after spending 18 hours in jail. He came away without paying the amount back - and is now not allowed to enter the country for 5 years and banned of any Wynn asociated casino worldwide. So let me warn all you guys that what is not yours you should NEVER EVER take. Weird rule of law but if there are no higher court rulings about this - it is not to dispute.
Hey guys I think you dont have to say ant things not to do or do in a CASINO ! There is only ONE thing, PLAY JUST FOR FUN and thats it, never try to make a money playing casino ! Thanks for all your videos MR. Steve and MR. MATT
I see one major omission and it's the most important thing you should never ever do in a casino: never borrow money to play or loan money to gamble from friends and relatives. Another omission that really only applies to poker: never rebuy with either short or minimum stacks and your initial buy in should never be less than $100, or in larger stakes games 10X the big blind. I've dealt poker for 18 years and I watched players rebuy with $20 in a 2-4 game. If you're in hand that caps every betting round with a 4 bet max it would cost $48, and that would leave only $4 to bet/call the turn. And people that buy in low tend to be calling stations. Which brings up another point; never play low stakes limit hold-em, because no-limit is cheaper in the long run and the rake kills you. In no limit you can bet/raise people out of a hand. For instance: you have pocket Qs and every card on the flop is lower and you want to get the marginal hands and weak aces out of the hand (the river is a bitch), so you can make a large bet or even go all in, If you win big then you can also minimize the rake losses. In a 2-4 game there is usually at least one calling station at the table who will call all bets and raises to the river with weak hands. You cannot bet people out of a hand. Worst of all it's a long climb back up when you get stuck.
Hey the house has way more then 2% or 3% in my opinion because of the” BUST “! Sometimes you’ll ask for another card because your two card value is low & you go over ! Sometimes three or four or two times in a row ! “The dealer doesn’t even play at all” & he takes your money without any risk to him. That’s AWESOME MAN ! FOr them of course.
Yep. And the other form of gambling is. Scratch tickets a fkn real rip off lost way too much thousands of dollars its a scam. And the only people that win. Are mexicans or people not from here this is the true bad luck always. So keep your money in your pocket
Another thing I heard about as well and I have seen signs for it posted in Indiana. If you see chips or money on the floor and you pick it up, you are technically stealing from the casino and you could get in big trouble. Many years ago in Tunica, MS I was in a high limit area at 6am and no one was there except me. I played $5 in a DD machine and hit 20 credits ($100). I hit cash out to get the tokens coming out of the machine and when I looked down, there was a $100 bill at my feet! I picked it up and put it in my pocket. Today, I may not do that, especially if there are a lot of people around.
Ebony Oliver - yep I do too - one time a slot had .75 credit on it that somebody hadn’t played, I played it, winning $800 - wow, I was shocked, went home with my good fortune - lol - but I’ve always been lucky, the Golden Greek - 😎😎😎😎
I guess I guess I got bad habits after playing for a while. First I wouldn't write checks, or pay to get money out of ATM but after about 6 months.. I'm writing checks, paying to get money out of ATM over and over, paying to even get money off. Credit cards over and over. The sad thing is I be taking my extra money to pay down my credit cards so I can't have it available to gamble but end up paying high fees to get it back off the card at the casino. I do the same with chasing losses too. One day took $100 to play and it was gone so fast...I ended up writing checks for $4000 and losing it all on same machine. Gotta work on some of these tips. Thanks for sharing.
How do you know that i would come back If i won big cash than i would take it and never go back to casino again But Ive never been i casino Still,you cant say that i WILL
That is not true. Some people yes but not all people would turn around and give it back. I won $11k last time I was in vegas. It was the 2nd day of the 5 days we were there. I still came home with $10k of the 11k.
AT the casino use common sense.. TheLoud machines music.. free drinks is there to make you feel comfy cozy and you do.REMEMBER THE CASINO IS THERE TO MAKE 💰!.....
In Las Vegas as long as you are playing a machine you can drink free. Give a nice tip and be polite and you can leisurely play and drink for a couple hours on $40.00. Don't set there and hit the spin button every 10 seconds. Relax have a few drinks and have someone to BS with and spin every once in a while. You might win or you might not, have fun.
What does that mean to change the money box? I see attendants come over and open up machines and I always believe that they are making that machine tighter as it has been paying out too good.
They will start after midnight when there are not many people. They come with the big cage on the wheels. They will ask you to move so they pull out the box from the slot machines and push the new emptied one. They don't do one by one but the whole area. so you must wait for awhile until they done...lol
@@gysoremclibee1529 Yep in Atlantic City casinos it's done around 700 am. You have to either leave for about 20 minutes or go play in a different area, and when you come back the machines you were playing aren't hitting anymore, you know? How many times have you seen this happen?????
Taking left behind credits is called scooping. I got in trouble for it once because I was barely 21 and it was my 1st time in a Laughlin casino. When security found I was a guest at the hotel, they gave me a warning and educated me. If I hadn't been a guest, they said I would have been 86'd.
You guys don't bring your credit card to the casino :( or your debit card for that matter. Just bring the amount that you're willing to lose. I've never bet Max bet and I've got several jackpots from betting in the middle. So you definitely don't need to bet Max bet to get a jackpot. Don't spend all your time on one machine, go to a variety machines. Most importantly if youre ahead get yourself a little treat and have fun. (From someone playing on the Washington coast)
damn i sat in a machine before with credits left on there, didnt think anything of it. that makes sense why security comes around cashing the tickets. i see junkies walking around finding those machines
I still haven't quite figured out what is so much fun about playing games that are not in your favor and losing money on the small chance that you may come out slightly ahead.
When I gamble I play the slots I can take anywhere from $500 to a $1000. When I get there I break them down into $20’s and a couple of $10’s. I put a $20 in the machine pull it 20 times and cash out the ticket with whatever I win. Sometimes, very few times you don’t win anything. But lots of times you do, sometimes you are lucky enough to hit maybe even something really good. Do this on every machine cashing out a ticket when you $20 is up. When you are out of money you now should have a good amount of tickets. Lately I’ve found that I have finished with more than what I started with. Either way you guaranteed to at least walk out with some money.
Hi guys! I LOVE your tips! I noticed a $3 blackjack slot machine the other day. Was wondering what you think of these? Is it random shuffle? Are the odds worse than playing with a live dealer etc? thanks so much!
The downsides to those are thqt it likely only pays even money for blackjack and it shuffles after every hand so the house edge is around 5% if it is the machine im thinking of.
Video blackjack can be a good game to play, but it depends on the rules used on the game. Most games found in multi-game machines, will only pay even money on blackjacks, which is bad. However, you can sometimes find large electronic versions of blackjack that pay 3-to-2 for blackjack and some even stand on soft 17, which is very good. If you played that on a live blackjack table with those rules it would probably require minimum bets of $50, or higher. On the electronic games you can usually play them for as little as $5, plus you are earning player's club points. Gaming regulations require random deals on those games, just as if you were at a live table, so the casino's mathematical advantage on those games can be calculated just the same as on a live table version.
#7 I play in Oklahoma and the only time I've ever seen them enforce it is when my dad didn't realize there was like $4 left on the machine. No club card, seat was not leaned up, but credits left in, now I've done it a few times where there is less than minimal bet not thinking anything of it and never been bothered by the casino. The case on my father I guess someone came back and realized he jumped on their machine or someone saw him and reported it even though no one claimed the machine by leaning the chair forward. The other theory is there was enough left on to make a minimal bet and the casino saw on camera and decided to make a big deal about it. Also until just now I realized this is why I see voucher's left on machines which I leave there unless someone physically gives me their voucher. Now my father and I visit the same casino regularly so I also think they'll make their money back eventually and just leave us alone about taking small amounts of credits
17:28 #7 I worked at two casinos years ago and the term we used was called: SEAGULLING. Flying around like a seagull looking for scraps. People were 86'd (Code 10-86 kicked out) for that.
1) Don't drink gasoline in a casino 2) Don't anger a honey badger in a casino 3) Never eat broken glass in a casino 4) Never say "bloody mary" 100 times in front of a mirror in a dark room in a casino 5) Don't anger Joe Pesci in a casino 6) Don't insert monopoly money into a slot machine at a casino 7) Never drive your vehicle in a casino (without a valid license) 8) Never slap Chuck Norris in a casino 9) Never sass a great white shark in a casino 10) Never look a grizzly bear in the eye at a casino
If you win a nice hand pay, remember all the bells and music will draw pick pockets, that's their call to action. A friend lost her 800$ inside of a min after she was paid, security told her it probably was handed off 3 times in 15 seconds. So secure your $$$.
Sucks for your friend but come on now, she must not be that bright. You have to be an absolute goober or dirzy to allow someone to pick your pocket at a casino. Think about it - one must have no situational awareness, no fight or flight and very minimal self preservation.
There was a time in Nevada when second dealing was rampant at blackjack tables. If the cards in play do not have well defined white borders it is impossible for any camera or knowledgeable observer to catch a dealer that is dealing seconds. For years going on decades the casinos resisted using cards that had a well defined border. Why did it take so long? Why did the casinos resist such a common sense reform for so long? Do you remember the Frontier on the strip? In 1990 they had a great and very beatable game of 21. Late surrender, double any two, dealer stands on s17, but they used the “Bee” decks which have the small diamond pattern on the back. It is impossible for any camera to detect second dealing with this deck. Yes, I was counting cards, and I had a good winning streak going into my third or fourth shoe. My dealer was a friendly elderly man and dealt slow which is great for card counters. He looked at my growing stack of chips and bluntly said, “You’re a card counter aren’t you”. I could not admit to this of course so I told him no, I don’t count. I just use basic strategy. I’m from Omaha. I don’t know what you’re talking about. He then said something truly amazing and prescient: “We have ways of dealing with card counters.” He finished the shoe. It was a single deck game with the dealer pitching the cards. This is the preferred setup for second dealing. I was comfortably ahead and the dealer’s warning did not back me off. A new dealer.came to the table and after that I could not win a hand to save my life. I lost my buy in and had to quit. Obviously I had been given the “treatment” by this dealer. DO NOT play blackjack anywhere if it’s hand dealt with the borderless Bee cards!!
For those who don't want to sit through long-winded explanations, here they are.
1)Don't drink too much.
2)Don't get a credit card cash advance
3)Don't overbet your bankroll
4)Don't chase your losses.
5)Don't get a line of credit from the casino.
6)Don't cheat, or even attempt to cheat.
7)Don't take credit on a slot machine that belongs to someone else. (Losers weepers, finders keepers, I say.)
8)Don't blame your losses on other players
Thanks, got bored after 2 mins... Came to comments and you saved me 24mins 👌
They say not to take credit because you can be arrested for it.
Yeah you're right, you need your own You Tube channel.
We should listen to you why?
Don't ask your wife pull your finger at A bj table
I usually only put 20 in a slot machine at a time. One time I was playing a batman slot machine where you got to do the hero and switch to the villan back and forth. Some how 20 bucks lasted me over an hour. I wasn't hitting big but i was hitting enough to keep me going and had the best time. Then another time I put 20 bucks into buffalo wilds and did a 3.60 bet and hit a bonus on the first spin and hit over 300 bucks so I immediately cashed out and left lol
Won a straight flush playing 3 card poker ended up winning $3,300. Yup, in the bag with to many drinks and have no idea where that money went. Very true, don’t drink and gamble. Thanks.
This isn't a bad video for people who just start gambling.I feel the main tip is to know your limits. The most helpful thing for me was learning about not taking credits 🙃..
leave your credit/debit cards in the car.
#1 don't put your winnings back in the machine LEAVE QUICKLY
That's what I do, when I hit a big match, I take it and run. That's a real winner.
Wilmet Adams so true
Hope i win next time i go... 🔥
I hit 4 of a kind on video poker and jump to another VP machine.
That is one rule that is very good. Move around after a good hit depending on the bet amount.
These were just tips on what not to do in life in general. Don’t get stupid drunk. Don’t get a credit card cash advance. Don’t make decisions when angry. Don’t over extend yourself or write bad checks. Don’t cheat. Don’t steal. Don’t blame others for your mistakes.
Before heading out there for first time in 1998, I watched a lot of available videos. Then there was a documentary on PBS about Vegas and slot machines. It was a great primer for first time gamblers. And I follow many of the tips they gave. First one I follow to this day is to never play the winnings. Its harder to do that now with the ticket system. It used to be easy to follow this with cash payout machines. So lets say I win $75 on video poker. I'll cash out, cash the ticket, and then put the $75 to take back to hotel. Then it goes into the safe or other safe place. It makes the trip home. Since I never play more than I take, its a great policy.
Burt Ward - exactly!! That’s what I do, never play my winnings:):)
Does Batman gamble, too?
Set a $40 limit.then eat or shop
Start with price then benefits
I did this once when I hit $4000 on video poker. Took the money up to my room and locked it in the safe then went back down to gamble. Darn I;'m out, head back to the room. By the time I quit for the night I had less than a $1000
Best thing to do: take the amount of cash money you can afford to lose, and leave any credit and debit card at home.
There's one machine that always pays.... The Atm machine.
Youre right
korek i'm always lost money 500 us dollar every time i go there.
People at the Hold Em tables know this.
Lol
with a nice extra 6.99
Something to note on credits left in the machines. The majority of machines I see are designed to leave you an odd number you can't spend. You're forced to cash out a minuscule ticket or leave it planned in the machine for the next person or apparently to set them up for disaster.....
Disaster? 🤪
Thanks guys. I knew all of what you said and practice it whenever I go to a Casino. ONE thing I didn't know was about the money left on a Slot Machine Rule. I gamble mainly in Cripple Creek and have seen a few times where money was left on a Slot but thought someone would be back to continue their play. Here, a person can either prop/lean their chair on the front of the machine which tells people they'll be back or you can get a placard at the Cash Booth that reads, "THIS GAME IN PLAY" DO NOT TOUCH". Good to know about the money left though. I never knew that.
A smart person would simply cash out and walk away....
Had a friend who was playing digital blackjack and was supposedly up $800 at one point, walked away to get a drink (WHY?!?!?) and came back it was all gone
Being drunk is probably the only way I would ever enter a casino. I'm a farmer. That is high stakes gambling at its finest!
Don’t eat the fish at a $1.99 buffet

Last time i was in vegas there weren't any cheap Buffets left, they were all at least $15-$20

Why are you eating at a $1.99 buffet? Loosen the purse strings man. You're probably one of those who limit themselves to a $20.00 a day budget in Vegas. I tip that 4 a couple of beers when cocktail waitress is nice.
Bobby Vegas good for you buddy
Rule of Thumbs: Once you win .. no matter how much you got .. Just leave the place. Then, come back another time. Same like when you lost .. just leave and come back another day. You just budget yourself and stick to your budget.
So even if I'm up $20 I should leave?
Yep that is my strategy. Leave the casino when you lose $700 or win $1700, whichever comes first. I am breaking even so far, but I am ahead in having fun.
@@howellwong11 lot easier to loose 700 then win 1700
Linda Fukuyu,
The first time I ever gambled in Vegas, I started with $500 and within 2 or 3 hours, I was up to around $2000 playing slots and Blackjack. I cashed out, went back to my room and put 50% of the money in the room safe and swore not to touch it for gambling purposes. I only played with the money I designated for gambling. This has served me well and it works, if you have the will power to stick to it!
@@HerecomestheCalavera If you need the money YES!!!!!
If you hit big that night Leave and Dont look back lol 😆
James Martz not true.. i won $1900. Went to another machine won $1600. ... if i wouldve left i wouldnt have won again..
You stated the truth. Please erase the "lol" off your comment.
No because it is a LOL you can't erase it you laugh when you win in Vegas
Yes I hope I myself because you always high five yourself when you win in Vegas
K6 how often does that happen though to the other 7 billion people out there😂😂
Respect to the guy who kept it 100 on how much he lost in one night. I hope you've hit jackpots ever since my friend.
Rule #7: The casinos need to post that rule on the machines for it to be enforceable. I tear my tickets up; I prefer to leave the tickets for the next player. I have also pulled my ticket out and given it to anyone approaching the machine to play.. It is my money NOT the casinos.
the casino has to explain that finders keepers only applys to children?!
you dont know if something belongs to you or not?!
How bout Thou shalt not steal!

How about an interview with a retired pit boss ? Someone with stories to share. Love to hear about what goes on behind the scenes at a busy casino.
Interesting idea. We will keep that one in mind for the future. We did once interview a slot manager at a major Las Vegas casino to ask about various slot myths., such as: “The casino can flip a switch to make the machines hold more.” Or, “the machines are set tighter on the weekends.” You can read that article here - www.americancasinoguide.com/slot-machines/interview-with-a-slot-manager.html

@VR Inks yeah. All that. Whatever she just said.
As a visitor to Vegas from Ireland......had a few drinks....not by any means drunk, was at the end of a Blackjack table...……..the dealer couldn't get a 1 Dollar bill down the slot with the holder....this went on for about 10-15 seconds......so I just touched the edge of the dollar to help it down...….was up 250 already on the table...….dealer then grabbed my wrist, and said.....words i'll never forget.....'Do that again and it'll be the last thing you ever do'...….I profusely apologised that I didn't know the etiquette....but to a very dirty look....2 older American gents at the table said to him...that there was no need for the heavy handedness.....it shook me to be honest...….was up some more then after a while....but I could tell the difference in his voice when he was dealing with me....took him for 200 bucks on one hand and was about to get up, when they changed the dealer, as they do...….the Pit Boss was hovering...so I then apologised again.....he was fair with a smile, explained the situation......yeah it was wrong of me....it was just a natural thing to help.....but given the chips I had on the table....OR NOT...….I think they might have felt embarrassed ….I mean, some Paddy travels half way around the Earth from Ireland to heist a 1 Dollar Bill? ( back then....1 Euro was equal to USD$1.55...so I wasn't a poor man by any means)....next thing I was comped a few drinks....not that I asked....but thanked them and tipped the waitress a hefty sum......but it taught me a lesson in life
Number 7 happened to me just recently. I sat down at a machine and put my ticket in, put my card in, hit max bet. Didn't even look at the last payout or anything. I knew the machine I wanted to play it. Security came over and told me there was a bit over a dollar left on the machine. I said sorry I didn't even notice. Then he wen't into the rules and how its theft and the person who forgot it was upset etc. I explained to him the person never even came over and said anything, it wasn't a big deal I'd gladly give them the money back it was a simple mistake. I pulled a $5 out (its all I had other than what was in the machine) and handed it to the security guard and told him just to give him the 5 and tell them sorry for me. Other than being told to make sure I pay more attention, which I most certainly will and will just hand my few cent leftovers to someone instead of leaving it that was all that happened luckily.

Should never had approached for less that a buck.
Reason is
Person before
Left
Plus pulled their card
So no
You done nothing wrong
You put your money in and card
Lot of people will either leave a ticket
Since only pennies
Not wanting to bother cashing out
So no
Not true
About the getting into trouble crap.
Once you pull card
And leave
Even if pennies still in
Person could’ve cashed out.
Since person pulled card.

a lot of us don't pay attention when we go to a machine , i will save someones machine while they go to the restroom and they got 15.00 or so in it and people are ready to sit down ....now when crowded i always ask if they are saving the seat.....one lady said yes and i sat next to her other side but her fake friend never came and i asked after 20min did you friend flash herself down the toilet she said no i put a lot of money in that machine so im saving it for me....i was pissed...i went to another machine around the corner and won like 200.00 i told her thank you for making me go else where and showed her my 200.00 ticket .....lol...
Where did this happen?
I’ve had someone take my machine with money in it before & I had my jacket and all on the machine even; they just plain old moved my stuff & took my money all chill lmfao 🤣 bottom line always cash out when using bathroom should be a # lol

Since Covid...I quit going. It was a hard habit to break but I have. I might go for special occasions but no more. It's sad to watch people lose money they don't have. Hundreds. Thousands. I would get sick when I lost 20 bucks. Now I don't worry about it. Hard but true.
#7 The rules are different state to state. In Maryland if someone see credit on a slot machine. It's call abandoned funds. Now you can't just cash it out but you can insert your money and play as if it was your money.
to me that makes the most sense and cashing it out (if posessionof the machine has been ceded to you by the establishments rules/policys eg the previous player left it unattended longer than the permitted time with no sign or word to the pit host) should be okay too because its credits not legal tender/money. when you sit there you "rent" the machine from the establishment as its patron as generally they are renting it from the manufacturer the machine and its credits are owned by the manufacturer(the cash input by players is owned by the state and establishment owner NOT the credits. Considering the current consensus views this issue people should be able to be arrested for using and cashing out THEIR OWN rented/purchased credits in the machine and thats not logical is it? IMO as far as I can tell from a technical standpoint the "credits" are owned by the manufacturer under control of the game.(where I play there are even signs indicating "malfuction voids payment blah blah blah.." if that is lawfully true that means the credits are already forfeited TO THE game machine/its owners by default. Its relevant here to note: Neither the establishments nor their state's have any way of taking the value of credits directly from a machine without commanding it to print a voucher or perhaps I could imagine through some other manual record keeping process that would have to be honored by crews maintianing the machines..usually its people sent by the machine manufacturers(ie their true owners.)
Just as players only resume limited rights to their exchanged credits' value by printing out a voucher from the machine under good faith principles where it relinquishes the value of the credits to the voucher(owned whoever possess it..and therefore naturally becomes property of the establishment if dispossesd by anyone else while on its premises)..within a frame of time and if in good condition usually an ATM style machine or the establishment by some other means is expected to redeem back to the players the cash/legal tender value of the voucher which is then of course fully owned solely by whoever is entitled to it by whatever laws of the land. Based on how the syatem works as far as I can tell the only thing the establishment or state should have indsiputable claim to in the process is abandoned vouchers on the premises and not in possession of a player or at a machine/rented space occupied in good faith by a player.
Its arguable that those parties(state and casino/establishment) may have claims to unused credits calculated on a machine as: abandoned,"misplaced" property(intellectual?) as the original lease/liscense holders of the machines but its a claim just as flimsy as any player who is allowed (under the terms of the establishment) to "rent" that machine by inputing their funds and or merely being sanctioned to occupy it. To that extent it would strengthen house claims if they posted rules that convey that players only are considered having taken possession of the machines if their are no unclaimed credits on it among whatever other house rules they make clear to the patrons. In other words the house does not convey occupation of the console to players until all stated conditions are met (same as if they were conveying a sub-lease to an apartment to them...if terms are not stated or statutory they are not enforceable.) As sensible as my view on this may sound(to me at least) its best to avoid having to try and convince a judge to agree with anything you or I have ot say..just follow at the very least the house/casino rules if not the state/nation's position on these issues...and cooperate as best you can if things go wrong by anyone's mistakes. Its been my experience that being a do gooder with money(at least the substantial sums) pays off more often than not.

Good sound advice! That is why I subscribed. Have limits, play for entertainment and remember the casino always wins.
When you brought up about the Bahamas, it reminded me of a time back in the early 1980s were several friends and I took one of the cruises out of Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas. Once you get out into international waters they open up the casinos on the ship. We made it to the Bahamas and we got to the casino there and played until it was time to go back to the ship. I kind a lost all my money and when we got back on the ship and out to international waters they opened up the casino again I had a little bit of money stashed so I played until I lost that. My one friend was doing really good And I would swing by his table to check up and see how he was doing. I asked him if he wanted a drink and he said sure and give me a $20 chip. Well this happened I would say about eight or 10 times which every time I would get a $20 chip. When we got back to Fort Lauderdale on the way home my friend basically is talking about how expensive the drinks were on the ship. One of my other friends said what do you mean? The drinks were all free on board. Well I got the stink eye cbecause I kept taking the $20 and bring him drinks. To this day he never let me forget it.I just thought it was a funny little story.
TODD VANDERVORT haha that is great. That look he gave you must have been priceless
RE taking credits on machines...wouldn't the best advice be to call for an attendant (or security) BEFORE you even touch the machine and let them decide what to do? I feel that Matt's strategy of cashing out and placing the ticket on top of the machine can still get you in trouble, as it will take a review of the security footage to show you had no bad intent. I think that, in most cases, if you use the approach I suggested, you will not only stay completely out of trouble, but maybe the casino would actually allow you to play the credits in some cases.
this happened to me recently. found $150 in a machine and hit a jackpot for $1500. guy came back shortly after and happily agreed on taking back the 150 he had in there prior to me showing up.
you should NEVER under any circumstance leave a machine without cashing the ticket first, no matter how little of a time you’re gone for. once you leave money and walk away from the machine it’s free game
List of things you should always do in a casino..
1.Take all your money,credit cards to the casino..
2.Get drunk
3.bet big
4.if you have to lose it all go for the gusto!!chances make champions!!
5.dont quit when your ahead!think big and double,triple,quadruple your winnings.

Thank you for the advice. I'm new to the world of going to a casino in person and useing real money. I want to go and have fun but not get myself in trouble financially. Thank you.
Interesting. I've left credits in a machine because i didn't want to hassle with a slip for a few cents. I didn't realize that could cause trouble for someone else coming along to play the machine. I felt I was helping someone else with a few credits.
I'll always cash out and just dump the slip in a trashcan. I also read where some of the casinos in Laughlin have a charity bin where you can put your unwanted cash slips that they then donate to charity.
GREAT PLACE. TO RELAX AND HAVE FUN.
one time hit jack pot and left the machine it did not pay out.
Just cash it out and leave it next to the machine, or add it to the next tip for a drink.
$2-3 for atm charges, I wish it was like that again, now it’s like $8 for atm withdrawals. Granted I don’t use their ATMs anyways.

Guilty to number 7, cashing in credits left over on a slot machine. I walked into the high stakes slot area strictly out of curiosity (not looking for credits), and a machine had $200.00 in credits on it. No one was gambling in the vicinity and I actually waited for five minutes or so in case someone went to the bathroom. No one returned so I put five dollars in and then cashed out.

Don't feel lonely I use to live on the beach in Biloxi MS and I had a ton of casino's in walking distance I use to drink a lot BK then and o if I only had all that money I lost and invested I would be 1 hell of a a rich B but I use to win thousands I mean like 30 40 thousand and when I would win that big I would actually be able to get up and walk out the casino and all though I would win that much once in a while I still lost because the money I spent all together from the time I moved there was more than all my winnings but I will say I'm addicted I can now pass by a casino and not even want to go in but my problem is once I walk through them doors that's it consider me done because I'll either win are spend every penny I have trying I don't even like to go to them anymore I had got a good chunk of money and I wanted to take my sister on a nice vacation I told her we could go wherever she wanted what does she pick a casino I actually tried my best to get her to pick somewhere else I told her you know how I am at a casino I don't have fun I'm only there to try and win but she insisted so we went and I knew I was going to loose before we went I had that feeling and sure enough I had no luck spent alot of money but she had a blast so I guess that's all that matters and I didn't spend all my money like I would of in the past .
I play in Michigan mostly... Mt.Pleasant and Detroit... and I have found a dollar, 50 cents, a couple bucks in machines more than a few times, cashed them out and took it and I was never hassled for it.
But I have been politley told by an employee that looking for coins in the tray people missed is technically a crime and if I am seen obviously doing it long enough, someone WILL come and talk to me about it. But if you sit down to play and theres a few quarters there, its not gonna be an issue.
I was also told finding money on the floor is against the law too.
#7 "Credits left on a machine belong to either the previous player OR TO THE CASINO". Actually it means, very plainly, that a Casino that keeps that money instead of finding and giving it to the prior player IS ALSO COMMITTING A FELONY (oh, but someone give me odds on whether that is done - or enforced).
tehnically the credits should belong to the machine/its owners usually the manufactuer would retain those rights as intellectual property. Only the actual money in the machine and any vouchers printed by it should be claimable by players or the vendor/Casino and their state/government overseers. Do you ever see those signs on a slot machine that that says "malfunction voids play and any winnings?" yeh thats evidence of who rightfully "owns" those "credits". That there should give liscense to whoever as currently allowed to take possession/rent the machine(whether a patron or the establishment) or its space to play,convert to a voucher/ticket or otherwise claim unused/abandoned credits. Basically once you put your cash into it the cash is spent converted into being part of the machine/its games..If i put a coion into PAc Man game that doesn't give me or the pizzaria Im at any right to claim the pac man sprite in the game... fotunately the slot games are designed to fortfiet the vlaue of credits back into the world as vouchers or tickets which can be redeemed for real cash at a specific atm or by contacting attendant..the machine is pretty much a third party and thats awesome to me becuase it should make such things like abandoned credits fair game subject to whatever house/state rules allow players to rent the machine and play...by the extreme of Colorado's logic the Casino should be able to just suspend play and claim ownership of whatever players put into the machines or win whenever they feel like it..that third party element eleminates that obvious slanted loophole of ambiguity imo, but who am I to try to bring logic to a legal issue. :P
if i find money i would go to the cage tell them if someone is asking if money was turned in to give my phone no. call me and i will give them the money if they tell me the correct amount. i will personally give it to them...not giving it to casino cause if no one claims who gets it
@@gladymills2732 well of course the casino! Just like a store if you leave change at the drive up window it sits there until closeing then its put into an envelope & dropped into the safe! Where it either goes to the big boss or the store! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What do you want the casino to do? Launch a full scale investigation into somebody’s 9$ they left there?
credits belong to the previous player.
If someone won a large payout when they had $200 in the machine, requiring an attendant to hand pay the winner. the machine ONLY dispenses the hand pay, leaving the original $200 in the machine. The player was so excited they did not notice and walked away.
the casino can easily check their hand pay records, and will have the name and address of the player
I was losing at the Kentucky Derby. I lost my $400 on the early races as big longshots were winning. I mix up favs with price horses and an occasional all on pick 3 bets. So I got a $600 cash advance on my cc. I put $100 wps on Always Dreaming. Made a fifty cents tri with AD to all with all. Then I added a $2 exacta who with AD to all. I won about $8,000. So if it's your day it's your day
My heart goes out to the senior citizens I get roped into it
I remember a couple years ago im playing blackjack at woodbine here in toronto im up 60 bucks from my original 20 i was gonna play one last hand so im dealt two kings just for the hell of it i split them and was dealt aces on both and the guy next to me got royally pissed off and started cursing at me and saying i stole his ace i stole his ace. Heres the kicker , we're playing on an e-table basically like playing on a giant tablet so basic strategy is less useful because its simulated cards
I want to come back to rule number 7 and let you all know that the Wynn Casino in MACAU, special economy zone of China, enforces that "Colorado Slot Machine" law as well. The casino security informed police and immigration when a friend of mine played there. The amount has been unfortunately an equivalen of about 500 US Dollars somebody forgot in the slot and he did not realize it and thought he won an instant jackpot. How ever - he left the casino and while leaving the country he was busted of immigration - send to police and arrested. He was quite lucky as I pressured the immigration and police and he could leave after spending 18 hours in jail. He came away without paying the amount back - and is now not allowed to enter the country for 5 years and banned of any Wynn asociated casino worldwide. So let me warn all you guys that what is not yours you should NEVER EVER take. Weird rule of law but if there are no higher court rulings about this - it is not to dispute.
You got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them. Know when to walk away & know when to run.

I see one major omission and it's the most important thing you should never ever do in a casino: never borrow money to play or loan money to gamble from friends and relatives.
Another omission that really only applies to poker: never rebuy with either short or minimum stacks and your initial buy in should never be less than $100, or in larger stakes games 10X the big blind. I've dealt poker for 18 years and I watched players rebuy with $20 in a 2-4 game. If you're in hand that caps every betting round with a 4 bet max it would cost $48, and that would leave only $4 to bet/call the turn. And people that buy in low tend to be calling stations. Which brings up another point; never play low stakes limit hold-em, because no-limit is cheaper in the long run and the rake kills you. In no limit you can bet/raise people out of a hand. For instance: you have pocket Qs and every card on the flop is lower and you want to get the marginal hands and weak aces out of the hand (the river is a bitch), so you can make a large bet or even go all in, If you win big then you can also minimize the rake losses. In a 2-4 game there is usually at least one calling station at the table who will call all bets and raises to the river with weak hands. You cannot bet people out of a hand. Worst of all it's a long climb back up when you get stuck.
Hey the house has way more then 2% or 3% in my opinion because of the” BUST “! Sometimes you’ll ask for another card because your two card value is low & you go over ! Sometimes three or four or two times in a row ! “The dealer doesn’t even play at all” & he takes your money without any risk to him. That’s AWESOME MAN ! FOr them of course.
I've only gone twice and both times I lost everything. First time I lost $500 and next time I lost $800.
Oopsie......
Yep. And the other form of gambling is. Scratch tickets a fkn real rip off lost way too much thousands of dollars its a scam. And the only people that win. Are mexicans or people not from here this is the true bad luck always. So keep your money in your pocket
And im american mexican spanish too so im not a hater i dont like to lose at anything gambling is a drug. And so is sugar ha ha ha phuketall

Another thing I heard about as well and I have seen signs for it posted in Indiana. If you see chips or money on the floor and you pick it up, you are technically stealing from the casino and you could get in big trouble. Many years ago in Tunica, MS I was in a high limit area at 6am and no one was there except me. I played $5 in a DD machine and hit 20 credits ($100). I hit cash out to get the tokens coming out of the machine and when I looked down, there was a $100 bill at my feet! I picked it up and put it in my pocket. Today, I may not do that, especially if there are a lot of people around.
I always use my free play first before I put my own money in
Ebony Oliver - yep I do too - one time a slot had .75 credit on it that somebody hadn’t played, I played it, winning $800 - wow, I was shocked, went home with my good fortune - lol - but I’ve always been lucky, the Golden Greek - 😎😎😎😎
Wow lucky i cant even gamble yet
That tends to be what most folks do
Ebony Oliver Same thing I do
@@apeo8343 don't start
I guess I guess I got bad habits after playing for a while. First I wouldn't write checks, or pay to get money out of ATM but after about 6 months.. I'm writing checks, paying to get money out of ATM over and over, paying to even get money off. Credit cards over and over. The sad thing is I be taking my extra money to pay down my credit cards so I can't have it available to gamble but end up paying high fees to get it back off the card at the casino. I do the same with chasing losses too. One day took $100 to play and it was gone so fast...I ended up writing checks for $4000 and losing it all on same machine. Gotta work on some of these tips. Thanks for sharing.
the only winner is the Casino owner
even if you win a large amount , you will come back to play again and you will lose it all.
How do you know that i would come back
If i won big cash than i would take it and never go back to casino again
But
Ive never been i casino
Still,you cant say that i WILL
Yes true girl
That is not true. Some people yes but not all people would turn around and give it back. I won $11k last time I was in vegas. It was the 2nd day of the 5 days we were there. I still came home with $10k of the 11k.
@@how2buypallets437 Most people give it back and more, not some people. If it was some people these casinos would have closed long ago.

#1, don't drink too much.
well, I'm out.
I avoid the alcoholic drinks and always have sodas and water.
Or coffees
@@ScorpioBornIn69 Yep nice fresh coffee or a ginger ale if your stomach is upset from losingLOL !!!!!
Yes! I’ve had the “hitting the soft 18 scenario” of making other people mad at me several times. So weird.
AT the casino use common sense.. TheLoud machines music.. free drinks is there to make you feel comfy cozy and you do.REMEMBER THE CASINO IS THERE TO MAKE 💰!.....
and NO clocks
There is a clock in Ajax Casino in Canada.... But no one seems to pay attention to it.
The noises are obnoxious.

In Las Vegas as long as you are playing a machine you can drink free. Give a nice tip and be polite and you can leisurely play and drink for a couple hours on $40.00. Don't set there and hit the spin button every 10 seconds. Relax have a few drinks and have someone to BS with and spin every once in a while. You might win or you might not, have fun.
Never left Vegas with less than I came with.
Baseball and Football.
Cash advance killing me thats the worst thing in casino thank you for this video
I hate when they come to change the money box in the slot while i was playing free spins...lol
What does that mean to change the money box? I see attendants come over and open up machines and I always believe that they are making that machine tighter as it has been paying out too good.
They will start after midnight when there are not many people. They come with the big cage on the wheels. They will ask you to move so they pull out the box from the slot machines and push the new emptied one. They don't do one by one but the whole area. so you must wait for awhile until they done...lol
Gysore Mclibee - they’re not supposed to do that when ur playing free spins, I’ve never seen that happen
@@greenmonko99 no if its paying good they just shut it down
@@gysoremclibee1529 Yep in Atlantic City casinos it's done around 700 am. You have to either leave for about 20 minutes or go play in a different area, and when you come back the machines you were playing aren't hitting anymore, you know? How many times have you seen this happen?????
Taking left behind credits is called scooping. I got in trouble for it once because I was barely 21 and it was my 1st time in a Laughlin casino. When security found I was a guest at the hotel, they gave me a warning and educated me. If I hadn't been a guest, they said I would have been 86'd.
The ninth thing you should never do is run though the casino naked .
Very funny.
I always say I'm gonna do that if I win big! 😂
jim apple 😂😂😂😂
jim apple wait do people actually do that. 😂

This channel is so helpful! I play it safe and play only Video Poker or Blackjack which is rare. Video Poker is the best! Thanks Steve!!
Wow once they started naming the do nots, I was like, I've been there, done that, lol. The credit cash is the worse!
You guys don't bring your credit card to the casino :( or your debit card for that matter. Just bring the amount that you're willing to lose. I've never bet Max bet and I've got several jackpots from betting in the middle. So you definitely don't need to bet Max bet to get a jackpot. Don't spend all your time on one machine, go to a variety machines. Most importantly if youre ahead get yourself a little treat and have fun. (From someone playing on the Washington coast)
Play blackjack. I started a week ago. Lost my whole check 2 weeks running on slots . Turned my last 15 bucks into 4800 playing blackjack in 6 hrs
Wow really do you count cards?
I clobbered a coin pushing machine it drop a few extra 50 cent coins i was not caught
Found $105 bucks on the ground on my last trip must of been bc of #1 🤣🤣
Good solid advise. That is why I am viewing this, will be in Vegas in 10 days.
damn i sat in a machine before with credits left on there, didnt think anything of it. that makes sense why security comes around cashing the tickets. i see junkies walking around finding those machines
I still haven't quite figured out what is so much fun about playing games that are not in your favor and losing money on the small chance that you may come out slightly ahead.
#2 Never gamble more than you can afford to lose.
I saw someone betting $500 on the third dozen in roulette today (not column bet) and he lost lol
Septia Woman Exactly
Yeah but most people do I know I have!
like people listen to that....lol
When I gamble I play the slots I can take anywhere from $500 to a $1000. When I get there I break them down into $20’s and a couple of $10’s. I put a $20 in the machine pull it 20 times and cash out the ticket with whatever I win. Sometimes, very few times you don’t win anything. But lots of times you do, sometimes you are lucky enough to hit maybe even something really good. Do this on every machine cashing out a ticket when you $20 is up.
When you are out of money you now should have a good amount of tickets. Lately I’ve found that I have finished with more than what I started with. Either way you guaranteed to at least walk out with some money.
ALWAYS chase your losses. It’s the degenerate thing to do. 🤷♂️

I like your sense of humor.
Hi guys! I LOVE your tips! I noticed a $3 blackjack slot machine the other day. Was wondering what you think of these? Is it random shuffle? Are the odds worse than playing with a live dealer etc? thanks so much!
The downsides to those are thqt it likely only pays even money for blackjack and it shuffles after every hand so the house edge is around 5% if it is the machine im thinking of.
Game king machine thqt is the same as vp or keno?
@@TheJackpotGents not sure what you mean I typically don’t play slots
Video blackjack can be a good game to play, but it depends on the rules used on the game. Most games found in multi-game machines, will only pay even money on blackjacks, which is bad. However, you can sometimes find large electronic versions of blackjack that pay 3-to-2 for blackjack and some even stand on soft 17, which is very good. If you played that on a live blackjack table with those rules it would probably require minimum bets of $50, or higher. On the electronic games you can usually play them for as little as $5, plus you are earning player's club points. Gaming regulations require random deals on those games, just as if you were at a live table, so the casino's mathematical advantage on those games can be calculated just the same as on a live table version.
@@TheJackpotGents thank you so much!
DAMN these are the 8 things I always do....
#7 I play in Oklahoma and the only time I've ever seen them enforce it is when my dad didn't realize there was like $4 left on the machine. No club card, seat was not leaned up, but credits left in, now I've done it a few times where there is less than minimal bet not thinking anything of it and never been bothered by the casino. The case on my father I guess someone came back and realized he jumped on their machine or someone saw him and reported it even though no one claimed the machine by leaning the chair forward. The other theory is there was enough left on to make a minimal bet and the casino saw on camera and decided to make a big deal about it. Also until just now I realized this is why I see voucher's left on machines which I leave there unless someone physically gives me their voucher. Now my father and I visit the same casino regularly so I also think they'll make their money back eventually and just leave us alone about taking small amounts of credits
Rumor has it that bill cosby lost so much money to Bill Harrah's he ended up playing the big room at Harrah's Tahoe for several years for free.
Be a,CASINO owner.
Go to have fun and know you probably won’t win but it’s the catch of knowing it’s possible to get that hand pay 💵😀
17:28 #7 I worked at two casinos years ago and the term we used was called: SEAGULLING. Flying around like a seagull looking for scraps. People were 86'd (Code 10-86 kicked out) for that.
1) Don't drink gasoline in a casino
2) Don't anger a honey badger in a casino
3) Never eat broken glass in a casino
4) Never say "bloody mary" 100 times in front of a mirror in a dark room in a casino
5) Don't anger Joe Pesci in a casino
6) Don't insert monopoly money into a slot machine at a casino
7) Never drive your vehicle in a casino (without a valid license)
8) Never slap Chuck Norris in a casino
9) Never sass a great white shark in a casino
10) Never look a grizzly bear in the eye at a casino
Let's say you do hit a jackpot of over $1,000 on a slot machine, is there a customary tip amount for the person that comes to pay you?
Usually it’s 2 people. One verifies and the other resets. I usually tip both 50.00 if under 1200.00
@ 26:10 after Matt's big violent gambler story - Steve is just like "Okay", like he ain't about that drama. LOL
I lost everything, went to Vegas with a home, job and a family. I came back without anything, not one red cent, just the clothes on my back!
Yea, right. Just like people say, suckered born in every minute.
I'm very sorry for you that's horrible!
WTF
The Twilight Zone where the machine kept calling the guy's name Franklin
Thats terrible. I hope u are exaggerating.
If you win a nice hand pay, remember all the bells and music will draw pick pockets, that's their call to action. A friend lost her 800$ inside of a min after she was paid, security told her it probably was handed off 3 times in 15 seconds. So secure your $$$.
Sucks for your friend but come on now, she must not be that bright. You have to be an absolute goober or dirzy to allow someone to pick your pocket at a casino. Think about it - one must have no situational awareness, no fight or flight and very minimal self preservation.
I’m good with number one, I don’t drink alcohol anyway.
There was a time in Nevada when second dealing was rampant at blackjack tables. If the cards in play do not have well defined white borders it is impossible for any camera or knowledgeable observer to catch a dealer that is dealing seconds. For years going on decades the casinos resisted using cards that had a well defined border. Why did it take so long? Why did the casinos resist such a common sense reform for so long? Do you remember the Frontier on the strip? In 1990 they had a great and very beatable game of 21. Late surrender, double any two, dealer stands on s17, but they used the “Bee” decks which have the small diamond pattern on the back. It is impossible for any camera to detect second dealing with this deck. Yes, I was counting cards, and I had a good winning streak going into my third or fourth shoe. My dealer was a friendly elderly man and dealt slow which is great for card counters. He looked at my growing stack of chips and bluntly said, “You’re a card counter aren’t you”. I could not admit to this of course so I told him no, I don’t count. I just use basic strategy. I’m from Omaha. I don’t know what you’re talking about. He then said something truly amazing and prescient: “We have ways of dealing with card counters.” He finished the shoe. It was a single deck game with the dealer pitching the cards. This is the preferred setup for second dealing. I was comfortably ahead and the dealer’s warning did not back me off. A new dealer.came to the table and after that I could not win a hand to save my life. I lost my buy in and had to quit. Obviously I had been given the “treatment” by this dealer. DO NOT play blackjack anywhere if it’s hand dealt with the borderless Bee cards!!
A slow dealer is not good for a card counter imo. Surprised you like a slower dealer.
i pay the change machine always come out even
