in this case there are only three machines
they will get locked up by a pro team and played non-stop until the
casino wises up and pulls the plug
if your intention was to come back later and play them, publicizing
them on the internet was a poor choice
if your intention was to out these machines, you have achieved your
purpose
in addition, you have drawn attention to this casino, and there will
now be pro teams checking all machines for other hidden oportunities

It HAS lasted for at least 5 months, with relatively light play.
Often those machines were not being played. Let's see if it lasts
another 5 months.

It's far

some time on it.

No regular players will get on them now. There's no chance this play
would have lasted this long had it been publicized in May.

These aren't your private machines anyway.

They will be somebody's, as they will get locked up now that the info
is out.

I just wanted to add one thing. Anonymous' argument sounds logical,
about making a great play known so that regular players can get on
it. But it doesn't work that way in practice. Pros lock up the
machines and kill the play. Even if not locked up, the pro play
overwhelms the regular play and these machines will bleed money.

By making this play known, what Tom has done is shift income from the
few pros that knew about it by doing the legwork necessary for good
scouting, and protected the longevity of the play by leaving the
machines free for hours at a time, to a pro team that will lock them
up and kill the play.

Not that it makes any difference to your points, but to
keep the record straight, the email you're replying to
and the original report were from two different people.
