    Do u mean a higher % is going into the meters than intended, or that they simply resetting higher than intended? The game in particular I am referring to is more of a glitch type advantage.

    That's a pretty good find! Lol. I know of several glitches..... IGT, Spielo, Konami.....thing is they're hard to find. (Exception being Speilo)....pretty widespread this game in particular! Would think in a secluded area as Montana could be very good, as this glitch is very, very obscure! Don't get me wrong, I travel the country and its mind boggling how people know of this one, I mean it's not something u just figure out! I assume you are familiar with the Game King glitch. This is nowhere near that good or I would never reach out to anyone!! Lol. They just dropped the ball on that one!!!!! But, I have a few very good glitches/programming errors.....or maybe they were intentionally done, but nonetheless they exist! My bottom line is I'm doing very well and have a few good locations, so not looking to change at this point, but I have read everything and everyone's shit! SO, figured I'd go right to the top with any info in exchange for something valuable in return. I am 41, been full time for 5 years....quit a union plumbing job. I have contacts all over the country.....seriously, Harvard, Yale, MIT guys. However, I am not looking to say shit to anyone! Why would I? Trying to swap with the best that I have seen and read of. With all due respect, not trying to jerk u off but first time on a forum and done my research..... U are who I want to talk to.

    I don't know why he would give you grief about your posts. Granted, I have really never followed your postings and interactions with the other guy before, but I did some searching and have found numerous writers, some of whom are members of this site who have written articles and columns on the subject we are discussing here , even giving many machine names. One thing they definitely didn't do was go into detail with the math and categories to figure things like you did. You laid out every angle on how to figure things. I started following you here and elsewhere when Dancer posted at another site that you put out some good info, a couple times he mentioned you. I respect everything and anything he says about gambling. He was definitely right on again regarding you. Thanks again Mickey.

    I am having good luck so far with the mermaids, up 80 bucks, only 4 plays, no losses except for my first nights trial of -$1.20.

    Be very careful with the tile games.....Wild Mermaids and Jungle Riches. The variance is very high. You could get on a play needing only 2 tiles, even one! Most important is where the unbroken tiles is located......as to break it, must be on a winning payline. 4 Hence, u are much better off with the 5th column removed, so it still needs 16 rather than it needing 4 which are all on the end. Other factors are even more important than tile placement. You really, really need to watch previous players and their results......more important than anything. If ploppies clear them and u see them get bricked 3 or 4 times in a row, then u can go at a lesser number. I have played them for 2 years..... best advice in a nutshell.....play 2 if only one is in the last column, and u really can't pass one 1 regardless unless it's in the last column on the top or bottom, which are the toughest to hit, and it paid out fairly large to a previous couple of players. I know this theory goes against the assumed rng, but that's how it is.

    I don't know where u are from, but, undoubtedly the VLT's are much safer as far as chasing 2-3 tiles as compared to the casinos. Don't know exactly why or how, but I will not get smashed on them like u may in a casino version. That's my best advice after 2 years on them.

    I am not a slot player . This mermaid game thing started over on the keno forum where Mickey posted a play, and it reminded me of something a friend told me. Not sure if you knew that or not. Thanks for the advice and info. I am only playing / watching the mermaid games for my own amusement , and won't be watching what other people do on them. I will definitely remember your advice. Thank you.

    You can definitely make money on them, but the variance in a casino is very high.

    I got home tonite about ten. Just a short trip to do a town I hadn't done in four months. With a four month soak time I thought the town should have been overripe. But I only ran average in the town. Three days in that piece of shit I only won $1473. Meanwhile, I had to eat a $410 bill for my travel, meals, and lodging. This ain't the looney tunes, folks. I have to pay my own freight in this market. I'm also the baddest dude in this market. Sometimes the shit don't work out like I want it to.

    Boy, I can already see you coming. What is it about the AP game that you want to isolate me about? Guess what, kid. You can't isolate me. You got no shot, Richie. You need me ten times more than I need you. Fuck off and die on any offers that you have made me. I'm the bitch, motherfucker, not you.

    The first thing I did when I got home last night was hit the bar. Now it's the next day, I'm all sober, and I find this drunk post I made last night. I can see that I'm the asshole I always am when I'm drunk. Ain't nothing ever gonna change that. LOL!

    All good, no worries. My phone is not alerting me of messages and also having a little trouble viewing them. I'm still getting used to the forum website.

    Richie I would be interested in swapping ideas with you. I know the machine that you are referring to from Spielo.

    Hey Journeyman, I have talked to a couple people posting on this forum privately. Unfortunately haven't quite found the right match for what I'm trying to do with this. I have a lot of information and knowledge of many machines. Obviously, you can only be at one spot at a time. Hence, I am looking to exchange information on a very limited basis. I am completely open about it......my email is [email protected]. I will throw out my phone number and let's talk. U don't say anything u don't want to......nor will I unless we both feel that we can help one another on an equal basis. Contact me by email then we can talk. There's nothing to lose!!! Others I have tried to work with are all skeptical and weary .....I don't understand!! Let's face it, were all out to beat the house and as long as we're not stepping on each other's toes, the more knowledge the better. Where are u from, or more specifically where are u working your current casino? I am from MA, but am at a different location right now. Look forward to possibly working a beneficial agreement out! Get back to me. Thanks!

    Hey Mickey, guess you had a rough night out and apparently I got under your skin for whatever reason. Like I said before, you are top notch in this area of expertise..... and yes, possibly I would neef need you 10x that u would need me. However, we have an age gap and combining our knowledge I think would benificial. U wanna talk, let's do it. It's all a poker game.......u tell me this, I tell u that.....whatever. U can "fold" or cut off contact whenever you wish! What's there to lose? Lemme know. Thanks.

    Richie, I think about the only thing I could offer you is to tell you the Spielo games that I know to be exploitable. There are several I know of.

    Richie, you are right. It's not how many tiles are left to be broken, its where they are located. I got 20 plays recorded.

    Three ways to break the tiles on Jungle Riches:

    1. Diamond scatters. Probably equal probability to break any tile.

    2. Random trigger. Equal probability to break any tile.

    3. Line pays. This is not equal probability. The first 3 colums clear out fast because it is easy to hit three in a row. Breaking a tile in the 4th column with a four in a row is harder. And breaking a tile in the 5th column with five in a row is harder yet.

    This means when you get it down to just a few tiles to go those tiles are invariably in the 4th and 5th columns. And when you get it down to just one tile to go its like 90% of the time that tile is in the 5th column.

    On 20 plays so far I've recorded the cost to break that last tile. On one play I was 16 bets ahead when I broke the last tile. On another play it cost me 87 bets to break the last tile. The rest of the plays have been in between. Its averaged to 15.6 bets to break the last tile.

    Then I recorded how many bets I won in the free games. On two plays I won zero bets. On one play I won 75 bets. Everything else has been in between. Its averaged to 24.7 bets won in the free games.

    So far a play with one to go in the 5th column is a 9 bet win. That means two to go in the 5th column would not be profitable. And a play with one to go in the 4th and one to go in the fifth would be marginal.

    My stats are tentative. I'll know more about it when I have 100 plays documented.

    I just watched some YouTube videos of Jungle Riches. In free game mode the Wild Swans are coming out on the 2nd,3rd, 4th and 5th reels. Here in Montana the Wild Swans only come out on the 2nd and 4th reels.

    My stats won't be relevant for the games on youtube. You'll have to collect your own stats.

    Man, you got more plays then I got already. Only 11 for me, and I found out Richie was right too. I got boinked Sunday night with Mermaids on 2 tiles left in the upper right. Cost $ 116 ($2.50 wager), won $35 back with only 6 free spins. I still think 2 tiles remaining in the far right is a play though. Just a bit of bad luck. I am going to keep trying. I am also going to heed Richie's other bit of advice and look through every denomination to see if there are any plays with the entire right column already removed and play, even if there are 16 left like he said.

    Is your Montana version the same as far as wager ? Penny, 50 line, 5 denominations ? Just curious as you mentioned the wild swans only coming on 2 & 4.
