My question is and I know you have heard it before, but how can the RNG be what it is and yet the casino knows exactly what the payback is, 97.8, 98.6, 95.5, etc. over a certain period of time? How can something be random all through its play and still know what to hold for the casino's percentage? I...

Always looking for an edge. I had asked a similar question some time ago about the pause that occurs during regular play with many machines and your response was the same at that time. The machine is storing information so info is not lost. For me it is most...

Can you tell me what the odds of that happening are? When we do video poker calculations, we usually deal with combinations, in which the order of the cards doesn't matter. In a sequential royal, however, order matters so we have to calculate permutations. There are...

The likelyhood being, " a non payment result, as a rule." ? Is there any way to alter that ( usual and consistant ) result, and TURN THAT SPIN into a...

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...

My mother was playing on a slot machine yesterday. A dollar machine…betting max bet ( so it was $3 a play ). She hit a big jackpot…while betting the max…she couldn't believe it…needless to say overwhelmed with joy and was tearing up….a large crowd of people gather behind her saying " you... Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST http://Robison.CasinoCityTimes.com/articles/49857.html http://Robison.CasinoCityTimes.com/articles/49780.html Hi, I am a fan of blackjack and have just read an interesting text on how slots machines are pre-programmed, and why one cannot make a profit out of playing them. 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%. If it were totally random there would be no... Mon, 28 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EST http://Robison.CasinoCityTimes.com/articles/48138.html
