This man has it almost right. Playing a $1 or more machine and having big gonads is the key. Take a $100 and break it into $10 bills. Find 3 reel machines and bet max on your $10. When you can't go max bet for $3, bet $1. if you hit and get even a penny above $10 or break even, go to the next machine without fail. When you win, say $300, play down a few more dollars that are above the $300 still on the machine in case it is backing down. I have 30 years experience. I win big. Try it a few times and let us know if you get the returns I get.

Yes, the RNG is rapidly 'turning' new numbers. Some machines are a little bit more 'juiced up' than others; but it's your job to find them, but others will usually have already found them being they play good. Server based slot machines are being used at the local Casino's here in Albuquerque, like Sandia. I like to go knock on the control room door and ask them to send down a 'hit' for me or wave at the camera's. Their computers show everything happening on all the slot machines.

Question..when you advise that the RTP increases with denomination, does that remain true when you make larger bets with small denominations like a $10 bet on a penny machine? or am I better off betting $10 on a $1, $5 or $10 machine? Thanks for your time and content...it's great.

No matter how much you bet on a penny machine it will still have the RTP of a penny machine. You would be FAR better off betting $10 a spin on a $1+ machine than you would be betting it on a penny machine.

I have 3 questions for you steve!! #1 why does It seem that slots hit more during the late night hours and early morning hours, Maybe between 1am- 6am? #2 It is true that slots payout more at the end of each month because the casino has to pay out a certain amount each month. #3 Where are the best slots located to play?

@TheJackpotGents 9 жыл бұрын

malta pyro #1 - Not true. Slots hit more when there are more people in the casino because the games are being played more often. #2 - Not true. The casino does not have to pay out a certain amount each month. The machines just pay out randomly. #3 - I did an interview with a slot manager at a major Las Vegas casino many years ago on this subject. Although the article is old, it is still true - www.americancasinoguide.com/slot-machines/interview-with-a-slot-manager.html

@TheJackpotGents 9 жыл бұрын

Doug Ronald Traditional mechanical slot machines works in the same manner as shown in the video. The only difference is that they use virtual reels rather than being limited to the actual number of stops on a physical reel.

@zandrello 9 жыл бұрын

americancasinoguide Shouldn't you assume though that the virtual reels DO NOT work the same as a physical reel? Those things run on thousands and thousands of lines of computer code, which is weighted in the HOUSE favor. I never trust the video slots, because I feel like it's never fair odds, complete luck. You don't know what that computer code is doing in the background, for all you know a machine could be programmed to only pay out every 20 bets of a certain amount, and take everything else, it's not fair! There's no skill or brains involved, that's what I hate about them. That's why I only play cards. Love your Black Jack vids btw, great stuff!

You answered another of my questions earlier tonight on a much more recent video. After watching this, I have another: So I understand the R#G going through 100 options a second and when you hit the button it stops the reels. I also understand that it's completely luck. But if a machine has a set % of payback, one has to assume that eventually it's going to pay something as it's required to by the state. I realize he's being realistic by saying you just never know, but at some point in 200 spins it'd have to pay something, even if it was $1, correct?

@TheJackpotGents 8 жыл бұрын

+Jennifer Jahns The payback percentage is a theoretical number that is based on probability. For example, a 98% payback percentage is a long term number that is based on probability and it doesn't mean that a machine must pay back that exact percentage within a certain time period. Some days a casino will lose money on a machine, but most days it will make money and in the long-run the machine will pay back very close to what it is programmed to return. As a simple example, think of a bowl with 10 balls. Nine are red and one is white. If someone randomly picks a ball, in the long-run about 90% of the time a red ball will be picked and about 10% of the time a white ball will be picked. Slot machines work the same way, but they just have many more combinations programmed into them to achieve whatever payback percentage is desired by the manufacturer.

+Thomas Volinchak OK. Thanks for the follow-up. Unless a machine is not working properly, there is no way to beat slot machines. That being said, there are some banking slot machines, which have a feature where the jackpot must be paid out by the time it reaches a certain amount. Those machines could be beatable if you only played them when the jackpot was very close to that "must pay by" limit. However, it is very rare to find a slot machine in that particular situation and, thus it will still be hard to be a long-term winner on them.

I will beg to differ with you, the RNG is NOT that random.. Ronald Dale Harris, former employee of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board found the RNGs were not random. He found he could predict the next set of number that would come up based on the current set. Making a ten way bet he had a 30% chance of predicting what the next RNG would select. He flew to New Jersey and on the first pay won $100,000.

@TheJackpotGents 9 жыл бұрын

Passed High School Physics It is my understanding that Ronald Harris won money because he knew the source code for the RNG, not because it wasn't working properly to produce random numbers. He also changed the programming on some of the chips in slot machines that he inspected. I wrote an article about Ronald Harris and you can read it here - www.americancasinoguide.com/slot-machines/the-worlds-greatest-slot-cheat.html

@passedhighschoolphysics6010 9 жыл бұрын

americancasinoguide Thanks for your site, and videos... very interesting. There was a TV show called Breaking Vega about 10 years ago. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Vegas Slot Buster www.amazon.com/Breaking-Vegas-Buster-History-Channel/dp/B004QNVR4K From what I recall Harris has the source code of the slot machines and rigged those. But for the Keno machine there was a flaw in the RNG. Based on numbers from the previous game play there was a 3% chance of predicting the next play's winning numbers. The Keno machines allowed 10 way play which meant if you played 10 way the odds increased 10 times and there was now a 30% chance of predicting the next set of winning numbers. On the first play Harris and his buddy won $100,000 by hitting all numbers. From what I understand this is the first time in the history of Keno play someone hit all numbers. Flaws and non-randomness in RNG is what's letting computer hackers de-crypt secret messages and gain access to bank accounts. Like biases in slot machine wheels the computer scientists now believe all RNG are not random. When it comes to slot machines I don't think there is anyway for the player or casino to use this to their advantage. If you haven't seen the Breaking Vegas show I thought it was very good. Many of the episode talked about the gadgets people made to increase their odds of winning or getting payouts from slot machines without playing. The Coin was interesting - From what I understand it's one reason casinos no longer use tokens and implemented the rewards programs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Colavecchio I was just in Las Vegas for a conference and got to say what a depressing place. All of the slot machines were video. I watched as hundreds of old people sat there for hours and hours pressing a button to play. I don't get it what's the point? If the casinos have a 97% payback you know you are going to lose your money over time. What's the fun? You might as well put your money in and have a computer or chimpanzee push the button for hours and do something productive with your life. Is there any chance you have a slot machines? I'll tell you what would make for interesting videos would be for you to open one up and show us how they work. And if you have any of the gadgets like the light wands show how they work. Nice videos.

He worked for the gaming board and had the resources to look at the source code, and run millions of trial runs to come up with a somewhat predictable pattern. There was another case where someone within the gaming board simply infected certain slots with rogue code to trigger jackpots when a certain sequence of events occurred.

@passedhighschoolphysics6010 9 жыл бұрын

jb0177 He worked for the gaming board, but it was someone else who figured out the RNG wasn't generating random numbers. There was a 10 episode series called "Breaking Vegas" that goes into the details about the RNG. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Vegas The series show how to fake out slot machine payouts, use a computer to determine winning numbers for roulette wheel and how a guy made millions in fake gaming tokens and another guy who made fake chips with his ink-jet printer.

@SuperSpetterpoep 8 жыл бұрын

I dont agree on a "RNG", esp with the new digital hooked up slot machines. For instance, you can tell no-one is winning, not a single jackpot going on in a whole casino. And all of a sudden when crowd comes in, people play more, the chances that someone wins a jackpot becomes increasinly higher. I'm pretty sure that that RNG does not exist and it's all one central deciding what is going on. Times are changing, and with digital stuff it means a casino can track all the things going on to the floor. If machines are set to have a standard payback from 82% up to 92%, then the RNG is simply 'obsolete'. It's still limited by that payback percentage which nobody actually knows. That payback percentage can happen from 1 week up to a year. Please watch manufacturers on how they design slots and the technique behind it. I know these vids is what people are wanting to see, but please stop the nonsense that's outdated. I've won a fair share of jackpots, but it's true the longer you stay the odds are going to be more against you.

Some casinos use a central server, but it really doesn't matter. The result is still based on a random number generator. However, at racetracks in New York, which are operated in conjunction with the state lottery, the slots operate differently. It is more like playing a scratch-off ticket with a pre-determined number of winners and losers. The Indian casinos in Washington state also work in a similar manner. Also, some Indian casinos have Class II gaming machines which are really games of bingo and they operate differently.
