Thinking she had asked simply for a $100 ticket she grabbed the ticket when it popped out and hurried to grab the seat at her favorite machine because it was then empty. After her first play she noticed she had less than $20 in credits. Realizing her mistake she ran...

If this is so, does that mean that all books, tapes, DVDs or whatever claiming to be able to win at slots are false? Can one in the long run win at slots or...

When playing a machine that readily accepts the bet then on the next bet you may have to press the bet button 2 to 3 times before it is accepted. It seems when the machine is playing pretty good it after that it stops &...

My question is on the Video Keno, supposed random number generator they claim to have in there. If it was truly random how can the machine be set for different odds, IE: 86%-92%.

Here are some of them. I was just reading your article about found money in a casino. That has happened to me 3 times. The first time was in a casino in Rhode Island.

You made this statement: "Unlike coins, today's tickets could conceivably be matched with their true owners." Could you expound on this? Is there information on that slip (hidden in the bar code) that indicates who it belongs...

About a year and a half ago, my then 81-year-old father was at a riverboat casino in Indiana. He saw a ticket sticking out of a dollar machine and, assuming it was for an odd amount less than a dollar, took it. No one was at...

Used machines are available from many companies. Search for "used slot machines" in your favorite search engine.
