Loose slots games

admin — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 13:52:50 +0000

Some of you may know that there is a number of slots games in every land casino that have a higher payout percentage than the others. Such slot machines are called «loose slots». Loose slots games are used by the casino to stimulate players and make them believe that it’s easy to win here. When you see someone constantly winning, this increases your confidence and makes you want to throw in more coins into the machine.

That’s how the casino makes you pay more. To give your luck a test and not spend too much money while doing it, you need to find one of such loose slots games in the casino. Such slot machines don’t have a «loose slots, win here» sign on it, so you’ll have to do a bit of research and think like casino executives would think. Get a layout of the casino, and evaluate what would be the most beneficial place to place loose slots games.

First of all, you won’t find loose slots games somewhere near the table casino games. This is because table players prefer a quiet atmosphere around them, and casino executives pay much attention to their comfort. The perfect place for a tight slot machine is next to a line area, where players will play slots games just to pass the time. This leaves us with an area inside the slot machine territory, where only the slots games players are.

Instinctive paranoia

Thought about playing video poker for a change of scenery, but ended up walking past the slot machines into the bar. So here’s me sitting here nursing a consolatory screwdriver and my quiet time’s disturbed by the young fellah who seems to think I owe him another piece. He’s got no cause to beef with me. I’m feeling a little peaky, not to say crabby and ornery. Had a bad run with the cards and lost a few dollars - got my pride wacked outa shape.

So, let me sit you down in front of a video poker machine playing Jacks or Better on a pay table that’s offering 9-6-250 like online at goldencasino.com. That machine’s set up to pay back only a fraction over 98% of what it takes. Even if you play a perfect strategy on this machine, the theoretical return never gets above 100%. It bears saying again. No matter which lucky rabbit’s foot you got in your pants, the very best you can hope to do is to almost break even.

If I stopped there, there’s no sense in any casino cheating on the slot machines. But there’s no denying you’re right ’bout one thing. Greed’s the worm in the gambling apple. Don’t matter which side of the fence you’re on, there’s always some as thinks they’re gonna hit it big. So I’ve seen pit bosses and managers decide the Vig’s not enough and rig the games. I’ve seen a few do it to put the money in their own pockets - most of them got decent burials, too. Yeh, there’s some cheating going on, but most of it’s on your side and it’s not very subtle.

‘Cause most folk can’t play the perfect strategy, the House edge on every video poker machine keeps the funds rolling in. That’s why you gotta pass the carousels of slot machines before you get to the tables. They’re the bread-an-butter earners for every casino.

One last thought before the thinking’s done: some of you load up your own software to run alongside video poker machines - kinda like a coach. Me, I don’t have no problem with that, but some online casinos’re uploading Dynamic Link Library subroutines to identify the applications you’re running at the same time as the casino package. They might not like some of the things they find - not within the spirit of the game from their point of view. Remember the old Chinese saying, “Big animal eat small animal.” Say before you start how many times you’re gonna play and what you hafta see to prove the machine’s rigged. S’pose you think a video poker game don’t have all the faces in the deck - you’ve to track the frequency of the faces as they show in the count of all non-face cards. Tracking how many hands you played and how many you won or lost ain’t no proof at all. You need a test that’s statistically significant to prove cheating. So how many thousand hands of data you gonna pay to collect to test your hypothesis? It’s put up or shut up. No-one likes a sore loser unless they got the evidence to prove otherwise.

Lawyers fail to recognize a vessel

Several days before Hurricane Katrina came along the coast like the fifth horseman of the apocalypse, still there was a riverboat casino called Bally’s tied up the the dock at the South Harbor marina on Lake Pontchartrain in the east of New Orleans. Now here’s the funny thing. While repair were under way, the Orleans Levee District sent in the bailiffs to seize her for non-payment of rent. It seems the rent for tying up at the dock was payable even though the poor old thing might sink. But once you get lawyers involved, claims raise upwards. When they’ve finished, the claim for rent was $20.6m, there were “fees” of $2.6m, and a repair bill of $2.5m - the riverboat knocked into the marina dock and did some damage. So the owners sold the riverboat, always sell your assets when sued. It’s renamed the Amanda Belle and up at Bayou Boeuf in St. Mary Parish.

On July 25 the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the case. The judges offered the insight that a riverboat is some kind of a vessel, it floats and has a paddle to make it move, but the lease was for buildings. Without a maritime lease, there was no cause of action.

Now I dare to ask some your attention. I want to say that everything that flows, is a ship.

Politics and gambling

As the Europe edges closer to a recession, people have less money on their accounts and casino revenues are dropping. Pennsylvania is no exception. It legalized slot machines back in 2004 and sold a casino license to Don Barden for $50m. The Detroit businessman agreed to build a casino called the Majestic Star in Pittsburgh on the North Shore. Still, you’re out of money. What must you do? There’s been no work on the site for the last two months. The construction workers are waiting for their pay. This is a problem for any politician. If Barden is allowed to go into bankruptcy, there’ll be pain all round. There’ll be a white elephant half-built shell that no other company can take over until the bankruptcy is cleared. Construction companies and their workers will get no more than a few cents on the dollar.

So the Pennsylvanian politicians have found a new partner for Barden in the form of Chicago real estate billionaire Neil Bluhm He’s leading a new group called Pittsburgh Gaming Holdings LP. But now the legal problem is whether the Gaming Control Board can transfer the license to this new group. They’re supposed to hold free and open competitions for the license. It’’s a nightmare and the state is running short of money. If all else fails, there may have to be tax increases! No-one wants that.

What do you think about slots tournament?

Enter the slots club to get new friends. That’s the way casinos make a profit. But for fun, you can sign up for a tournament where you’re playing against the other players. In the real world, one of the current tournaments is running at Cache Creek Casino in Brooks (Yolo County), for the next six weeks (it finishes at midnight on the 19th June).

Like most real-world tournaments, the casino has corralled a number of machines and members of the local slots club are rotated in every fifteen minutes to play for three minutes. The player who racks up the biggest score in those three minutes will be the winner. The total prize money fund is $200,000 with everyone in the top fifty winning at least $1,000.

Obviously, if you have never tried a slots tournament, the best way to find out whether you enjoy one is to enter one that is free. The fact that you pay nothing up front and may still win a prize makes this format the most attractive for a beginner. The commercial rationale for the casino is that playing even a free tournament gets you playing in that casino. Once you are logged in, you are likely to play for real on either side of your allotted time, so the casino makes its money out of your other online time.

To play the slots tournament, you must be fast, lucky and have a skill to manage your time and money. The winner will have used all his or her credits, made the best decisions on holds, and been lucky with the draws. If you cannot get through your credits in the time, you are not going to win unless you are lucky enough to get some good scores. Always check the pay table before you start and make sure you aim for the best paying combinations. That means it’s all down to concentration and fast reflexes. As soon as you see the draw, you must be hitting the holds and draw button. If you slow down, you lose.

Anyone wanna buy a system?

admin — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 10:58:13 +0000

Let me tell you a little story. Jack’s been working his way through some freebies - a new supplier’s trying to break into supplying the casino. Reckons he needs to make sure all the right people get their taste of the good stuff and we’re both of us out to oblige him. Yeah, some of this is very very good! Makes me wanna give up the online poker and the slot machines, and settle down with a bottle or two to enjoy my retirement. Anyways, the young fellah just called. Caught me in a mellow mood for once. In one piece I’m saying there’s, “a proper mathematical playing strategy for video poker.” In the next, I’m saying there’s a gambler’s fallacy and you can’t predict the cards. He thinks they doesn’t fit right together. So here’s a few words to make it all crystal. Did you ever see Ocean’s 11 - don’t matter whether it was the original Rat Pack version or the new ones with George Clooney and his pals? Did you notice how they always robbed the casinos. There was never a hint of walking through the door with a system for winning at the tables or on the slot machines. Hollywood got it right for once. Play slot machines, win big. Win at blackjack without counting. When I was growing up, my mother used to play 78s all the time. She’d never been on the chorus line, but she’d a hankering for it. Her parents disapproved of theatrical folk and that was an end of that. Anyways, one of my favorites was Banana Oil - kinda like snake oil but always applied to lounge-lizard lines. “When he tells you, ‘I adore you,’ that’s banana oil.” The only way you guarantee a big score at a casino is as a thief - and you’ve to be lucky to enjoy your “takings” and avoid the hail of bullets if you get caught by wrong people. Look around online. You’ll see a small army of people touting their systems for beating all casino games with a house advantage. In other words, everything he said to get his mark into bed was bullshit. Well, the same goes for all these salesmen pushing betting systems for slot machines. They’re trying to scam you outa your money. Take it from me. There ain’t no system around that even dents the House edge on games where the probabilities are set in the House’s favor. Math is math. Mind you. It’s not my money - you wanna fool yourself you can shade the odds in your favor on video poker, then feel free. So, how do these systems work? You’re supposed to base your bets on the most recent outcomes. Take roulette as an example. If you see a pattern emerging, you’re supposed to think that the probabilities of the game itself have changed. When I worked for casinos, we always nodded wisely when someone cautiously asked if they could play a system. Another little chicken ripe for the plucking. My father was counting deaths by the million over decades for the life companies. Probabilities and statistics only make sense in the long view. Short-term, you’ll find anomalies in all slot machines but, over time, the basic patterns are set in stone and in the House’s favor. You’ll see lucky streaks that look like they’re never going to end. But, so long as the House keeps its nerve, the winner will lose it all back again. It’s the same with the so-called systems. They aim to build up the small wins to offset the big losses. It’s just the way the House edge works. Like I say, you can’t beat the math. Which leaves me with my strategy, which I’ll get back to when I’m good and ready.

Should there be laws to regulate online gambling?

admin — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 09:15:17 +0000

There is a new groundswell of opinion rising in the U.S. that there should be more direct government regulation of online casinos. The reason for this shift is the series of scandals currently roiling the world of online poker. The most positive demand for federal regulation has come through the Poker Players Alliance. The gory details of these scandals and all the allegations are too much to deal with here, so I’ll just focus on this press release. Former Senator D’Amato makes the obvious point that the game of poker depends on trust. The players need to know that managers of casinos and the organisers of tournaments are committed to policing both themselves and the players. When there are allegations of cheating in real world events, local regulators and, if appropriate, law enforcement officers will investigate and report. The process is reasonably transparent and people are usually held accountable for breaking the rules or the relevant laws. When cheating may have occurred on the internet, there are serious problems of jurisdiction. Who exactly has the power to investigate and what powers of sanction does the investigator have? The former Senator argues with force that public trust can only be maintained if the same level of transparency applies to both real world and online gambling online. So, if anyone, whether manager, organiser or player is to be put at risk of punishment, what is due process? What court or tribunal can decide whether there is sufficient evidence of wrongdoing and make a proportionate response? As it stands, it is left to regulatory authorities in the country where the company running the internet site has its registered office. There is very little transparency with few details of the investigations or their findings ever made public. In the history of the internet, there have been no prosecutions or formal judicial sanctions applied to any company or individual running online gambling. Players are therefore left with the quite natural feeling that there is no effective regulation. But the desire for federal intervention is not likely to meet with any new laws. The U.S. Government does not have extraterritorial jurisdiction to go and investigate a company in a foreign state. Its only sanction is to bar access to the site which is a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
