Casinos and slot machines

[RiverRat1]

So now that all slots are linked and connected to software AND most players enter their players card for "rewards"..... Is it all rigged?

It appears they can instantly know everything about the player.. How long they play, time between slot "pulls", how much they bet, how many non-winning spins until they move or give up, how many days/hours they play before leaving etc...

With this data seems it would be easy to really manipulate who wins.

Thoughts?

Just got back from Vegas, nobody seams to win anymore on slots. If you do win it might be $100. Freakin penny slots cost $10 a pull.

I have some friends that go to durant and win at almost every machine they sit at. I watched him sign 5 w-9's within about 3 hours.

My understanding is that is what the (hopefully not corrupt) Gaming Commission is for. To make sure these games are fair. If it came out that the casinos altered the winners based on a specific player's profile, then that would prove that the games are in fact rigged and as such, illegal in operation.

Too much at risk...........billions of dollars in licenses won't be put at risk so grandma Jones wont win $150.
Full disclosure: It would make me happy if they were that dumb and shut all of them down!!!

I'd like to believe this but just don't. You'd never convince me the gaming commission isn't in bed with casinos.
It would be far too easy to pick who wins and zero way to prove the winner was picked.

If things are not rigged then why are video cameras strictly forbidden in any casino?

Anyway - back on topic. Just curious how they may be using player data. Maybe no one ever wins anymore LOL. I know people that go all the time. Granted they "only" lose $400 or 500 each trip but you'd think eventually they'd hit one jackpot (over $800) after 4-5 trips per year going on 10 years now.

Video cameras are not forbidden in all casinos. Lots of people do live slot play on you tube from several casinos in Vegas and some Louisiana. I believe it's all luck and slot machines are run on random number generators.

My son hits all the time in NM, He told me there's a tell on most slots, Like the one with all the firecrackers around it, If most of them are blown-up it's ready to pay. He also play's $10 to $20 a pull.

I certainly think they are rigged, but I also think the casinos know better than to make them tight for too long. Word of mouth would kill them if nobody truly ever won.

The gaming commission sets the percentage of the payout. They are regulated. You need to learn which machines have the best payout. It's on the machine. I hate slots my self and play the majority of time on table games. My nephew has studied slots and that's all he plays. He plays a certain type of machine and game everytime with the highest percentage of payout. He had over 40 hand pays last year.

You bet that happens. My wife's uncle hit 105grand and sat there for over 3 hours while the forensic team went thru the machine. It checked out and they paid him.

You think they weren't rigged before?
