NEVER GAMBLE WITH INDIANS!!!

I have a pal who is an exec at a Nevada casino, and he explained how these things work:

Machines (slots) have little computer things that have a rotation of all the possible outcomes. If a machine goes a lone time without a big payoff, the losing outcomes have been spent, just like a blackjack shoe that has spent a lot of cards without many aces.

In Nevada, they leave the hot cards/chips in place, and you can walk up and have a nice chance to win. In “Indian Territory” they note when the chips are hot, and PULL THEM our of the machines, replacing them with fresh even-odds chips.

So, the deal is that you have the same odds in Indian and Nevada casinos if you have a fresh chip, but when you realize how the Indians pull the hot chips, a random, typical machine is much less favorable in “Indian Territory” Because they leave the depleted chips, and pull the hot ones.

I refuse even to buy gas on “the res” because I assume that the state standards inspectors don’t verify that the gas pumps are honest.

I didn’t know that. Course I don’t trust the guys that run the regular casinos either, so they won’t see me in either one.

Again, NOT INDIAN CASINOS. We have some of those in Southern Colorado but Central City is not one of those places.

Colorado has very permissive gaming laws and they just loosened them even more last July. Roulette, craps, whatever is permissable in the designated mining towns.

I bought a nice refurbished slot machine from a Las Vegas company. The owner told me he will not buy a used slot machine, for refurbishing and resale, from the Reservations because their processor cards are illegal in Nevada and can not be brought across state lines. It seems the Nevada gaming commission knows the truth.

Gambling aside (we being Nevada residents know better), I never ever get gas at a res. Reason? Look on the pumps for the Department of Weights and Measures inspection sticker. Chances are, you won't see them. I didn't at the local res gas station.

The only game I play at Indian casinos are texas holdem poker, and even then the rakes are usually a ripoff.

At least in Vegas there’s some standards where they have to give out pay tables and so on.
