Like I said, the GOOD Cleopatra machine pays off but ONLY if you have incredible will power. I knew this guy Doug who basically LIVED in front of a Cleopatra machine. Very little sleep and he had his meals and drinks brought to him at the Cleopatra machine. I used to hold his seat for him when he went to the bathroom. I haven't seen Doug at the casino for a long time so I think his addiction tapped him out.

But look at the VIDEO and you can see why it is so incredibly addictive. My advice is to have the strength to LEAVE when you are ahead. If you must continue gambling, then go the the Chilli machine with your winnings. At least that way you can extend your casino time.

For some reason, VIDEO posted in the body of post not linking. Only in my comments.

For some reason, I don’t have a good histrory with slots.

And I think it is related to the noise.

Like, when I was a kid in HS, and I hit the ball just right on the pinball machine, it made this particular noise -

not the stupid bells and whistles, the sound of the three targets falling. It was addictive.

I wasted more money than I can think of in that pinball machine, just because of that noise.

Then, later, I went to a casino in Tahoe and - shudder.

Still later, I was stationed in Germany, and slots were everywhere. So I worked out a good scheme - I would drop one mark, pull the lever, and leave with whatever I got.

Over the years, I left Germany up 3 marks. Yeah, a win!

There are three casinos within feet of my current travel location, and I don’t even want to play. Funny.

A little humor...Don’t go to Vegas without a Baptist. I love Jeanne Robertson and this is one of her funniest.

However, over the past few years we are over $400 ahead.

Well then, that revelation certainly has piqued my interest in the slots.........

Be careful, it's been reported that casinos monitor this site and if they get wind of your "system" you're likely to get banned.......

I lost my love for the slots when the coins ceased to come out of the machine.

Gathering the coins up in a cup and taking them over to the window to trade them in for cash was part of the ritual. Now the experience is over too quickly.

Because of this change it's safe for me to walk into any casino

The last time I played a slot machine I was dismayed to see that none of them actually paid out in coins anymore -- just some ferkakte receipt that you took to the cashier. BUMMER

I play the home version of slot machines: I just open a window and throw my money out. If it’s a good window, I only throw out ten or twenty bucks.

I played the Cleo penny machine in NOLA several years ago. Went down $20 before turning the next $5 into $200. Haven’t played since.

This thread is now about slots.

Loose slots.

Don’t even talk to me. I stay out of casino’s. I used to be addicted to Kangaroo, a video game, because it was so cute. Lost quarters on it is all.

In the old days of mechanical machines it was a good strategy to stay at one machine. With modern microchips they can randomize millions of numbers per second and your odds of winning don't change no matter how long you stay there.

Almost as good as the Jeannie machine saying "Yes, master"?
