Okay, I believe this a new question to ask.
I will be laying over in Las Vegas for a couple hours next Monday (Sept 27) and I don't have enough time to go to the casinos but I have always in the past, played the slots at the airport. I have seen people win at these slots but never big....couple hundred max.
What is the advice you could give on slot machine picking and how to go about picking the right machine?
I have read 2 theories in the past years. One is to play the cold machine and one was to play at machine that hit small and that person walks away, to jump on that machine.
I never have luck at the slots........my game is Blackjack..........my family's game is blackjack...........last weekend my 2 nephews won &15,000 and 10,000 bucks playing the cards in Vegas.........unfortunately they only have the slots at the Vegas airport.
I thought this might be a good topic for all to give their ideas and inputs as to how they do the slot machines.

Never been to Lost Wage$, but I suppose the slots outside the casinos pay crap.

progressive ones only!!!!

If you know your number is going to hit, have patience and then KILL IT!

You never know when you will get another hit.

Play the first are last machine on a row, normally people will play these machine in passing and you have a better chance on cashing in on so money.

Rojo, I'd be thinking the exact opposite - the fact that whomever makes the money off the machines (the airport?) knows that the outside machines in a row get the "quick pull on the way to the plane or the curb" players, probably giving them incentive to put the tighter (lower percentage) machines there.

If it's a progressive, make sure it's CASH or there is a CASH OPTION.

I just read an article to not play the machines on the outside.......everyone plays them...........like you said on the way out to the plane......one last pull.
I don't think they have progressive machines at the airport.
My brother-in-law plays the slots all the time and wins good.......he said to watch for someone to get a 25 or 50 hit and they walk away thinking it won't hit again......and go play that machine because it will hit again (they are called machines).
Think that is the way I am going to go..........but I only have a couple hour layover....lol......can't wait all day for someone to win.

I've seen progressives at McCarron (I've been to LV twice, last in Feb. 2001) - one problem* would be if you hit a big one it might take more time than you have (between flights) for someone to verify the validity of the win (I've nver had the pleasure, but among other things they'll almost certainly have to call in a rep from the slot manufacturer to make sure the computer programs behind the RNG selector haven't been compromised).

Also, I think the bigger progressives are mostly annuity, but I don't play them very much so I'm not certain which ones.

*Of course, if you can wait for a later flight it might be worth the "problem", but depending on the purpose of the flight (e.g. seeing a dying relative), maybe even 6 or 7 figures might not be enough.

LOL.........I wish I had that problem..........I would take a later flight anytime for a big win. I don't think I will have to worry...........$300-$500 would do me just fine. Heck I'll take 75 bucks.............I am not a big bettor on the slots.....I will bring 20 bucks in quarters..........Blackjack is and always will be my game.
I wonder if they have video poker at that airport now? I haven't been there in about 6 years so maybe...................

Well I have seen some poeple with a notepad and pencil trying to figure out the machines.
I like to play the slots; however it is a random chance that you are taking and the casino's wouldn't be in operation if all the machines paid like we wanted.
I know it is a state law that a machine must pay out a certain percentage of winnings. That is where people try to figure out the machine. Inside the machine there are 3 counters that can be seen by looking inside the machine very closely. They keep track of the money paid in and out I believe the 3rd counter is for the coin drop.
If anyone works in the casino industry or knows what I'm talking about please feel free to post what you know.
I believe the slots are checked daily usually at shift change in the morning, or during off peak playing times.
The programming software is stored on the chips of the machine and that is where the payout table resides also. IGT is a leading manufacter of many slot machines, and most likely someone from there would have the greatest knowledge of which particular machine would ship with the best odds of winning. I do think the casino could reprogram the payout table of a particular machine however; thus making the odds different from the machine when it arrived new.
