Some Like It Hot But Not The Casino

Is there a "secret formula" for a machine to warrant a? "looksee" ??Lets say a certain Video Poker Machine is hit four Royals in one day? Will that get?special attention?

How about the unlikely scenario of one?player hitting a RF three times in row. Does the machine lock up? Does an alarm go off somewhere?

Is the player accosted by security? How exactly is an abundance of RF on one over generous handle?

Does anyone know for sure?

At Mohegan Sun in CT, when I hit a Royal on a $1 PE (5 played), they had a tech examine the machine before paying. My brother in law told me when he hit a RF on a 30 coin (25c each) play they looked at his machine, and also when his wife hit on a 20 coin RF. So I don't think in that case its an overabumdance, just that it got hit at all

It was not a VP machine, but Sunday we were at the Belagio and a
person sitting next to my wife and I hit a $5 double top dollar slot
for $20,000 (the top $5,000 X2 X2). When they finally came to pay
him off, the normal two personnel waited to dole out the 200 bills to
him until a maintenance looking man came checked the machine and
swapped out the computer chip in it. So they either downgraded it
because it hit or they just replaced with another of the same in
order to check it out behind closed doors.

In Nevada, I thought paperwork has to be filled with the Gaming
Board for each computer chip change made my the casino.
And, I thought that a member of the Gaming Board must be
present when they change the chips.

Well, that's what we've been led to believe, anyway.

At Mohegan Sun any JackPot over $10,000 has to be check out by a slot
technician that's just the rules there's no funny business going on.
Also if there's a JP $25,000 and over TGC (Tribal Gaming Commission)
has to come out and check the chip inside.

Policy obviously varies from one casino to the next, and seems to be
triggered more by the absolute jackpot amount rather than multiple
hits. At one casino I frequent, hitting several $4000 Royals during
the day on a multi-line dollar game hardly gets a second thought,
but hit one $20,000 Royal on a $5 single line machine and they take
a CLOSE look at the machine.

The first time I got a $10,000 hit (dealt Royal on a 50 play nickel
machine) they took out the motherboard from the machine for close
examination. Last year at a different casino I got a $10,000 dealt
Royal on a quarter 10 play, and I was paid with no fanfare or extra
scrutiny at all.

One time the old COPA in Gulfport (long gone) put in a really silly
policy where a slot technician had to perform a complicated hopper
test whenever certain dollar machines required more than 3 hopper
fills in a 24 hour period. This was silly because these were dollar
Joker Poker machines with (as I recall) $500 hoppers that spilled
coins if credits exceeded this level. They got a lot of play, and
they spilled coins ALL THE TIME - not to mention coins dropped
during normal cashouts. I doubt if hardly a day went by without
these machines getting one or more of these "hopper tests". Even
the slot tech would comment on the stupidity of this policy, but he
was only following orders.
