Lurkers/Credit Watchers

#1

I thought all machines were random? So what's the difference if you stay or move, recite the Gettysburg Address or jump up and down for 3 minutes?

The silly stall tactic might work well in parking lots when 'lurkers' follow you around trying to get a spot 4 feet closer to the door, but irritating casino lurkers usually roam around with no clear goal, and may just out-smart and out-last your tactic.

Looks silly but works effectively for me is --- temporarily stop
play, look at my watch, look left, look right a few times, hold card
#1, unhold card #1, repeat a few times in slow motion and --- there
they go!

REMEMBER THE RNG? I am surprised at how many "educated" gamblers on
this site make references to hot and cold machines. If you believe in that stop
working on strategy. You atre wasting your time Ray

Lets see 4 nickle 9/6 DDB machines all full and next closest is 100+
miles away. Where am I to go. Ignoring credit comments is harder
than you think also. Indian machines may/may not be be RNG random.
And I only pass wind for smokers, not lurkers.

I think this covers it all for now.

be kind, edit your replies for us with digest version!!!

Hi Glen,

Let's assume that it's a given fact that all VP in regulated
gambling venues (EXCLUDING non-regulated Indian Casinos) in NV, NJ
etc. is totally random.

How does that impact on the fact that I'm comfortably seated, at the
vp machine of my choice, and having reasonable "good luck" (or if
you prefer, am playing on the "right side of randomness", or on
the "positive side of the bell curve") in filling flushes/full
houses/quads etc. and don't want to leave my machine? Why should I
leave under those circumstances? Perhaps the next machine, around
the corner, will not treat my bankroll as well, at that given moment
in time, DESPITE being random.

My take on this particular, very common occurance/annoyance, is to
ignore the person for as long as their actions/conversation remain
tolerable. After that, I POLITELY ask them to cease and desist from
1. "sweating" my play 2. talking to me, as it breaks my
concentration (though it really doesn't). 3. commenting loudly on
how "lucky" I am, or "what I should have held".

If this does not cause the creep to move away, and he/she continues
to annoy me me, I will call a slot attendant to intervene, and, if
necessary, call security.

I will also immediately call security if there is the slightest
threat to my person or bankroll, or if someone directs foul language
at me.

Under no circumstances will I allow myself to be driven off a
machine before I am ready to leave.

Just my opinion, of course.

Babe
