I have a friend that counts cards. As long as you don’t break the bank and limit winnings there isn’t much they can do.

I used to play slot machines when I was overnighting in Vegas. I would get a roll of nickles and play with that for a few hours, usually winning around $100 - it was just fun, exciting and would pay for my meals on that trip.

Last year I went to York, PA to a family reunion and went with my family to a casino. The slot machines were basically video games - I put in $30 and won $.22.

Yep- twenty two cents. Never again. No pulling the levers - nothing. Just throwing money away.

I would be afraid that ALL of my luck had run out if this was me.

This stinks to high heaven. Inside job.

If it was an inside job, kudos to the guy who finally stuck it to the damn casinos......

Something tells me the casinos and the LV gaming commission are going to be all over this guy

Five jackpot on Friday totally over a million? (that be over 200k per jackpot on average)

Then and then another 5 jackpots on Saturday again totally over a million ?

Live in Las Vegas... they just don’t pay out like that ..that offen...if you took ever slot machine in one Casino and you average all their payout combined over what put in.. on any given day I don’t think it would that high on the plus side (the long run house all wins)

no Gambling place in the world pays out like that....

Someone was smart enough figured out how to rig the slots and too stupid to spread it out over months and use Stooges as fronts So you didn’t see all the winning goings to one person.

Might be this has gone on for some time by someone smart... and it was a Stooge front that got greedy and Did something this stupid

No way no how is this Legit unless, somebody found a magic lamp and got a genie that granted wishes.

Same here! I’d roam around the strip with my pocket full of nickels and just have fun. A little while back I was out on a job and got lunch at a little casino and I thought I’d drop a quarter in a slot machine on the way out for old times sake. I think I was suppose to go to the cashier and buy a card or something using my credit card, and then swipe that.

What is the fun of that if I can’t just drop in a quarter and pull the lever?

Mathematically and statistically IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT SOME SORT OF TAMPERING with the machines.

Not really. It’s about 160 feet below what’s considered full.

Why? What do you know that the reporting casinos don't know?

“Once is just luck. Twice in two days, no way. What are the odds of that kind of “luck”?”

Can happen have a nephew-in-law that was at an Indian Casino in Washington State hit several thousand on one slot, while waiting for the IRS form to show up he started playing the next slot over and hit another several $K. Got around $30K out of that deal. I know this is not millions but it can happen.

We win all the time at the local Indian casinos. We gamble much more than $30 at a time. You have to cycle enough money into the machine to have it pay off, but we usually come home with more than we took. You have to play the right machines and the right denomination to get those higher odds of winning. I prefer $1 machines and higher. I’m still skeptical that this guy won 10 jackpots in a 2 day trip unless he was sitting there for hours and putting in thousands of dollars, in which case it’s entirely possible.

That’s impossible. There are laws and regulations they have to adhere to in order to stay in business. They make more than enough on slots and other games of chance that they don’t have to risk losing their gambling license by tampering with machines. Indian casinos are even more strictly regulated.

The payback guarantees are as low as 80% and as high as 98% depending on the machine and denomination you’re playing, but that’s over the life of the machine which could be 10,000,000 pulls.

If you don’t like gambling, then don’t participate, but don’t spread misinformation either.

Don’t they do that for card counters in blackjack.

Unless the slots were “fixed” he was just plain lucky.
