If the payout is set to 99%, you know you lose $1 for every $100 you put in. And there you're not playing to win, you're playing to get as close to the payout as possible so you can earn player's club points. Video poker is really the only one that you can reliably confirm odds. One may have higher payouts for the same hit.

You can sort of gauge if you look at the payouts screen and compare it with the same game elsewhere. Been around for a while and seen a few interesting things. And if you have a scathing criticism of me, no worries, I'm happy to accept any criticism and see if I can work on doing better.ĮDIT: Also open to more general questions about the industry, both manufacturer and casino.

But is there any way you could post your reasoning for the downvote in the thread? I'd like to learn something new, and I'd guess that many other readers would also. I'm glad you're able to express your opinions by downvoting me, that's cool. I have experience not just with the software, but also with the on-site operations of multiple casinos - as I've had to go on-site to fix issues at times.Īsk me anything and I'll try to answer as long as it won't jeopardize my gaming license.Īnd to head off the first obvious question - there are no back doors in slot machines, so I can't tell you how to win a jackpot.Īnd the second - this is a new account because I didn't want to post as my main account, it wouldn't take too much to trace it back to my employer.ĮDIT: No questions about the inner workings of the casinos?ĮDIT: I'm curious about the downvotes. My job for the past many years has involved writing the software that runs casino slot machines and their back end systems (player's club software and most recently server based gaming systems).
