In sync with the machine ? Feelings before a win...Reply
I don t think it s your imagination because I have heard stories of winners, where they mention that a feeling came over them as they walked by a slot machine. So, they decided to play the machine and after a few pulls they win. Later, they tell the story that it was as if the machine was talking to them. They felt a pull to play or a magnetic draw to sit and play. I have heard many times from those around. They become one with the machine. They study the sound of the cues and pitches of the

What is your favorite manufacturer or slot machine game?Reply
I like the classic Diamond series of slots by IGT (Double Diamond, Triple Diamond, Deluxe variants etc.) They are simple but have some of the best payout programs in the casino, at least according to an analysis I did several years ago. Last time I visited I hit $300 on my 2nd spin, and $150 on another machine of similar type. I haven't played video slots but hear they make the hold more bearable due to the elevated entertainment value

General question on lottery drawing proceduresReply
Re: Slot machines. In the old days, the machines had gears with a certain number of 'stops' on them, usually nine. On a machine with three windows the combinations were 9 X 9 X 9. Some of the old time players could actually 'time' a machine, that is if the first two windows showed like symbols they could 'time' the pull on the third window and get a payout. Sounds out there but we had a boxman at one casino that when an old 5 cent machine was put in he told us he put a down payment o

Jenn. Is Mohegan the one with the golf course? I know a few people down my way that go up to that one. Once I am able to golf again, I wouldnt mind going up there and spending the night and hit the casino. To me the casinos are alot more fun. I am not a table guy like James.I mainly don't understand them well enough except blackjack. I play the slots and have fun doing it. I will generally play a machine to a decent amount, cash out and stick the receipt in my right pocket. I will grab another $

Got scared and put a $500 bet down instead of $1K. should of put $1K as I got a blackjack right away. placed another bet for $250 and got 20 against 18. you think i would quit but i said im not driving 1 hour for 2 minutes of play. proceeded to lose $700 on slots...... then won $500 back on BJ and left. slots were terrible. esp the $25 machine with the butterflies. did not hit a thing on it...... i did see 1 guy hit $1100 next to me but he was hitting the button so hard waiting to spin again

Guess it was the whole gift idea of not giving them a potential zero.lol I would play a $50 one to say I played it, but no way could I chase. Even at the casino in slots, I never venture over the $1 machine. Guess one day I should try one of the big $ slots to see what happens. Guess the $100 per pull doesn't pay $20 guaranteed back:) Found this 2002 press release http://www.casinocitytimes.com/news/article/pennsylvania-lottery-launches-holiday-instant-ticket-games-130188

Marine credits karma for $2.9 million slots jackpotNews Story
A couple of days before he hit a jackpot of nearly $3 million, Cpl. Alexander Degenhardt learned he'd been accepted as a bone marrow donor to an anonymous patient. They asked me if I was sure I wanted to go through with it, because it's kind of painful, but what's a little pain if it will save someone's life? the U.S. Marine said Friday. I look at this as kind of good karma for that. Degenhardt's karma was worth more than $2.8 million, the second biggest jackpot for Bally Technologies, w

Ohio's interim lottery chief given official titleReply
Lottery run slots don't sound like a bad idea to me. I'd feel more confident in the uniformity of return factor than I would in casinos where I've heard they adjust the rate of return differently on various machines based on their location and such. It would be nice to know you had the same chances of winning on any machine you pick. Course if they ever had them in TN, I'd just go play the ones closest to the Government Center in Nashville.
