Casinos and slot machines

[RiverRat1]

I will say this. I go 1-3 times a year and on average bring $1,000. Everytime we go, it is with the same couple that, believe it or not, will spend 10-15k in 2 days.
EVERY SINGLE TRIP they hit more money, more often using their card. When they aren’t playing I will use their card and without fail will win more often. Switch to mine and my wife’s card and the wins are alot less and a lot less frequent.
Research “the taste”

It’s a strategy slots will do to hook you in. The ONLY time I win is playing “the taste”. Typically after a machine sits idle for a bit, it will give you a taste within the first 5 pulls. I bet the max for 5 - 10 pulls and if at anytime you get up from your original bet, you walk away. If you don’t hit the taste within 10 pulls you walk away. Normally works for me but is very hard to walk away if you only get up $20. But do it 5 times and you are up $100

My sister goes far too often. I agree that the big jackpots are most likely random. But after watching my sister go the last 10 or so trips there are patterns. About 90% of the time she hits a $500-700 "jackpot" within the first hour or so... Then she gets absolutely destroyed the remaining 2 days. Only once did she hit over $2-300 on the last day.
My other sister went with her this time (they're at Winstar now) and both of them were up pretty good the first hour. So if it's all random they should, at least sometimes, go up and down after that first win streak...right?

I'll talk to her later today but I'm betting it's the same as usual and they don't win again. BTW - They play pretty small .40-$2 pulls.

I don`t know how Casinos stay open. All I ever hear anyone talk / brag about is how much they won. I have several relatives that go on vacations only where there is a casino close by and I have never heard any stories about them losing a dime. My dad like to gamble and I`m glad that addictive gene wasn`t passed on to me. I could care less.

You're right. Casinos are not greedy. Just like Wall street wouldn't do anything shady since they're regulated by the SEC.

To think AI now knows what you like and puts different ads, movies, Youtube videos etc to keep you online longer...But to think casinos would not use this technology...is sort of crazy. IMO

Casinos have used it for years they just don’t change payouts. Oh you just won- here’s a free room and dinner so you’ll stay and give it back. The odds are in their favor and your already in the building when you use a player card

Literally, the only way casinos can lose money is by losing their gaming license. They aren’t too big to fail.

The odds aren’t in your favor. They don’t need to rig them.

I see people sit down at a game and don’t have a clue how to play. My suggestion is to study and learn the game and odds associated with the game you’re going to play. There are YouTube’s on every game. Going back to Vegas in 2 weeks so I’ll let you know how I do. Texas holdem, 3 card poker and black jack is what I usually play. Wish me luck.

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?

The odds aren’t in your favor. They don’t need to rig them.

I dont like to think its rigged, but I hate all the electronic casino stuff. I only play blackjack now, and even then they have the electronic screen ones. Ill play if the actual cards are out, but wont mess with the electronic stuff.

Same. Craps for me

I know Oklahoma regulates the casinos to allow a certain amount of winners per month or the casino receives a fine. Just so y’all know Winstar chooses to just pay the fine.

It’s my understanding that the commission monitors the amount the casino is ahead. They are supposed to finish the month with a ?? Percentage ahead. When the casino is way ahead and the month/week/day is nearing a close the casino loosens up and pays out to try to hit the mark and avoid the fine.

I’m a pretty boring craps player but that’s pretty much all I do

If its 10 dollar table I'll put 50 on dont pass and a single unit on every number but the point where the puck is at. It's a pretty solid strategy.

You want to win at craps. Bet pass line, take odds on pass line and place 6 & 8. That's all, not all those other sucker bets. you’ll thank me later.

An AI Bot brought this old thread and a old Marijuana thread back from the dead. The AI comments were deleted in the thread and bot is gone. Interesting the topics it revised

Just got back from Lake Charles and the wife and I lost our butts. But we had fun. It is our form of entertainment that we do every three months of so and win or lose we are going to have fun. We'll be in Oklahoma in a few months and have some more fun.
