John Robison Gaming Guru - Page 14  Ask the Slot Expert: Some YouTube slot channels are as real as the WWE6 March 2024
Question: So glad you called Vegas Matt and his team out. They disgust me. I feel they are not really playing in a casino a lot of the time. Reminds me of Mucho Deniro slots that got called out a few years ago.
Answer: Mucho Deniro? Wasn't that Robert De Niro's Lucha Libre name? (Sorry. Couldn't resist.)
You pointed out something that I had never noticed or even considered. ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: Glitch or gaff28 February 2024
Sometimes people will only accept the answer they want to hear.
Natural gas bills in Las Vegas have skyrocketed over the past year. People on Nextdoor are reporting that their bills have doubled or tripled. Some people posted pictures of bills for many hundreds of dollars, even $800 and $900. They've ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: Always win at slots21 February 2024
The title of the YouTube video My Son Cracked The Code To Always Win At Slots from Vegas Matt and his son intrigued me. My first thought was, "I doubt it," but I had to watch the video.
The slot that has been supposedly cracked is Buffalo Ultimate Stampede. The game features a Stampede Meter. When a ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: Super Draw 6 Poker14 February 2024
Question: I recently played a video poker machine that gave you a 6th card if you played the max. The max was 10, 25 or 125. What percentage is given to the player?
Answer: Hmm. I think you're talking about Super Draw 6 Poker, but I'm confused by the max bets you gave. Super Draw 6 requires you to bet twice what you would on a game without any gimmicks to get the 6th card. ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: I have to watch what I write - Part 47 February 2024
For the past few weeks, I've written about statements I have to be careful not to write in a column.
One is writing that the number of heads and the number of tails thrown in a fair coin toss get closer to being equal after a large number of tosses. That's not necessarily what happens. What does happen ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: I have to watch what I write - Part 331 January 2024
Trying to be mathematically accurate in my columns leads to consistency. I realized this last night watching an old episode of History's Greatest Mysteries (HGM). This episode was about the pyramids on the Giza plateau in Egypt.
We all know there are three large pyramids in the complex: one built for Khufu, one for Khafre, and one for Menkaure. ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: I have to watch what I write - Part 224 January 2024
Question: I just wanted to comment on your column about accuracy and being specific about your terminology.
First of all, on the subject of being entertaining being judged by we, the readers. Obviously I vote yes, otherwise I wouldn't be commenting.
As far as the terminology goes, I think most of ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: I have to watch what I write17 January 2024
When I'm writing this column, I sometimes find myself about to type something only to have to rephrase the point I want to make because my original phrasing was not mathematically accurate.
When I was an expert witness on a slot-related case a number of years ago, the attorney I worked with told me that ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: Casinos don't want truly random results?10 January 2024
While researching last week's column about Random Number Generators (RNG), I read this statement about casinos and true RNGs (TRNG):
One reason I can think of not using a TRNG is that it won’t allow the casinos to earn profit. The current algorithms are designed so that the casinos always end up earning ... (read more)
Ask the Slot Expert: Does each denomination on a slot machine have its own RNG?3 January 2024
Question: I heard just recently that Multiple Denomination machines have a separate Random Access Generator for each different Denomination chosen. Is there any truth to this?
I always thought there was only one per machine no matter if it was Multi-Denomination or not. Say if it's a 97% or 85% ... (read more)
