But, I don't get how the guy at Summerlin could actually win $27,000 on a
$1 machine that paid out as if it were a $100 machine. Wouldn't the taxables,
hopper fills, or interest in any of this attract ANYONE's attention almost
immediately....like on the first handpay? It doesn't make any sense to me.
Someone please elaborate if they know.
I vaguely remember this. If my memory is correct (please don't hold me to
it!), the guy was playing a $5 machine which gave SLOT POINTS as if it were a
$100 machine, or 20X what he was entitled to. Don't know if it was a slot
machine, BJ machine, or VP machine, but blackjack rings a bell in my uncertain
recollection. So, if this is right, he was getting 5% cash back (20 X .25%), or
perhaps around $1000/hour if it were a fast machine. The $27,000 might just be
slot club cash back, or a combination of winnings on the machine plus some cash
back. It seems the RJ is off a bit on some of their facts, but the point of the
story still hits home!
