This will cost you a little money but in the long run
you'll have inside information not available to
regular players.
1. When you see the most senior slot tech on the floor
you turn on the change light.
2. When the slot attendant comes over you ask to talk
to the slot tech. Say the machine is making a noise or
you smell smoke coming out of it.
3. When the slot tech arrives you ask him to open the
machine for the noise or smoke problem. You marvel at
the innards and ask him to flip the little silver
toggle switch, the one marked "T" and "L" Say it's on
the "T" position currently.
4. After he finally stops laughing at your great joke
you hand him $5 and say you've had great luck lately
and it's because of him.
5. Then you make conversation about machines. Say you
saw in Vegas a bunch of new video poker machines
waiting to be installed and you noticed stickers on
them listing the estimated payoff percentage. Say one
said "98.5% to 99.8% hold" Ask him if slot machines
have those kinds of stickers also.
You might not feel it's the right time for the above
question if only one encounter but this idea is
variation what we used to do at the now closed Key
Largo. They set the full pay machines to 300 hph but
you could bribe the slot tech to speed them up.

I hope this is not an inappropriate question for
this board. I
have no experience on the subject. I have never put
a coin in a non
video poker slot machine. Maybe some of you know
someone with some
knowledge in this area. I obviously see many more
slot machine
players than video poker.
The local casino has a large sign that brags
that their slots pay
out up to 99.9%. I think this might be the legal
limit in Arizona
casinos and I am fairly certain they do not have a
video poker
machine higher than 99.73. This statement just make
me also wonder
about a few things.
Is there any reasonable approach to select
higher paying slot
machines? I have heard that they would only place a
higher paying
machine where it could receive a lot of attention.
Would they only
place such machines in a large traffic area and
maybe at the end of
an isle, etc? Is there any significance to these
thoughts and are
any machines known to have generally higher or lower
pay offs? I am
not thinking of the few machines with unusually high
jackpots, but
rather the more common machines.
Again, I hope for some feedback and I promise
that I have
nothing to add to this conversation and have no
desire to put coins
in a regular slot machine. However, I have many
conversations with
nice people in casinos. I have some knowledge of
video poker (mainly
thanks to all of you), but feel stupid in the area
of other slot
machines. Obviously, everyone should play what they
like best. The
most rational reason I heard about selecting slots
(non vp) was that
they go to the casino to relax and do not want to
even need to think
about video poker strategy. They just want the
thrill of a possible
win without any thinking or extra effort.
I lot of slot players also think video poker is
too hard to
learn. Many of the slot machines look too confusing
to me and I
would not know what to even "root for" if I played
some of them. I
am sure they must not be too complicated in order to
be popular and
all of the visuals must be only for entertainment.
Put coins in -
hit the button - watch and hope!Thanks,
Bob
