Slot Talk
*********
It seems that everyone who plays the slots has one burning question they want
answered......Where are those loose slots? There are many answers to this slot
question but don't spend your money on a book to learn the answers.
Everybody wants to know the answer to this question and believe me, it is not an easy question to answer because it begs many more questions. For example; Where are the loose slots in Nevada? in Vegas? on the strip? Downtown? in which Casino? where in the casinos? We are not trying to be cute or evasive but merely trying to show the complexity of the question. OK here goes, the most common answer is, loose slots are placed at the end of the aisles, it is believed that if they are placed where people walk by they will generate excitement and interest for others.
Individuals will often tell you what Casino has the best Loose slots. This advice comes from the fact they have won on the slots in a particular Casino and therefore consider the slots to be loose. Some casinos place "loose" slots randomly but they are are loose only to the extent that they have frequent but smaller payoffs. If carefully studied you will find that they will take your money a little slower than the "regular" slots but they will take your money.
Don't sweat all the slot lore, it's just that, play the slots to have fun, you can spend a lifetime trying to figure them out and never really succeed. Have fun and if you win it's a bonus.

The wild growth of the gaming industry;
**************************************
Never has anything enjoyed the phenomenal growth of the gaming industry, with
new Casinos growing at a rate so rapid it is virtually impossible to keep up.
Gaming technology is enjoying no less an explosive growth. A recent trip to
Las Vegas, after a 16 month absence, just blew me away. Sinatras theme song
NY NY became a Casino reality along with Monte Carlo, and the crowds just
keep coming.
*********************************
In the past four years Vegas has witnessed the demise of many Casinos like
the Dunes, the Sands and the Marina to mention a few. All of them quickly
replaced with huge gambling palaces with thousands of rooms and gigantic
Casinos. Three new Casinos are being built as we write, one to replace the
Dunes, one for the Sands and a new one with a Parissiene theme just down
the strip from ballys'.
******************
Of course the shuttle monorail from Bally's to MGM Grand has now been
running for close to two years, seems like yesterday it was in the
planning stages. Now a neat streamlined train carrying passengers back
and forth every few minutes is old news. For those of you who have not
been to Vegas in a few years, your in for a real surprise.
*****************************************
On my last trip to Lake Tahoe and Las vegas I saw for the first time the
new Wheel of fortune machines, quite exciting. Patterned after the real
game, when the correct symbol appears on the third reel and on the middle
line the player is eligible to spin the "Wheel of fortune" and depending
on where the wheel stops, wins the prize indicated by the wheel.
The Imperial Palace features some new machines with "knockout" graphics.
Any one of four games can be chosen by touching the screen. My favourite
was fort knox. When all the right conditions are met the combination to
the safe at Fort Knox unlocks the safe and coins (graphics) cascade into
the "graphic" hopper and apprear as credits you can cash in or play.
********************************
I get lots a Email asking about the on line Casinos. The questions are
almost always on the honesty of On line casinos. Are they fair, do they
pay off, how will I get my money, in short are they rigged? My answer is
always the same. Like land casinos in Vegas or anywhere else, they have
more to lose than they have to gain by being rigged. I believe for the
most part the games are as random as technology will allow, that is
where randomness is the essence of the game such as Roulette and Black
jack. The virtual slots are set similar to any slot machine found in
Vegas, Reno, Tahoe or anywhere elese in the country. As most know, slots
are set to pay back, at least the legal minimum, and up to anything over
the legal minimum determined by the Casino. Available technology can
provide similar results.

Hi Rolfe, Thanks for advising me about getting your money from Starluck
actually I asked them the question you posed and got an answer just the
other day, it was consistent with the way you were treated. They told me
that they cedit winnings back to your credit card up to the amount of the
original debit and mail the rest which takes from 2 to 3 weeks. The mails
are unbelievably slow from that part of the planet.
***********************************
Virtual Casinos engaging in rigged gaming would soon be found out and
hounded out of the business. I can't imagine a worse fate, as a Virtual
casino operator, than being exposed as a fraud on the Internet. Perhaps
I'm being naive, but thats my take.
