    Axel and his crew may not have used the max EV strategy I described on the play. They may have used the 100% strategy designed to milk the meter for all it's worth.

    There was a progressive bank of Wheel of Fortune machines in the Taj Mahal in A.C. a couple years back. A friend of mine a mathematical slot programmer genius told me it was due to hit on a certain weekend at that casino. I think at the time the jackpot was linked with several other casinos. Of the 5 machines on this bank in the Taj, he didn’t know which machine was going to hit but one was for sure going to hit in the Taj.

    He even estimated the day which was a Saturday and the time to be between 11:15pm to 12:10am when it would hit. He said he couldn’t play it because he was the programmer of the slot.

    So, I got there a little early like 11:00pm and was shocked to see no one playing them. So (dollar machines) I put 3.00 dollars in each machine going to all 5 machines in order. Walked back to the first machine, threw in 3.00 dollars to start all over again and boom hit the 1.6-million-dollar jackpot.

    I signed the W2 and took a cash payment all in twenty dollar bills. I had to wait till the next day to get the cash which I made them count it again in front of me.

    If you don’t believe me my picture was hanging in the lobby holding a big check. And for the record I took my friend and his wife out to dinner and threw him a twenty.

    Yes more. Again this has nothing to do with not agreeing with you that there's information around. I'm just curious if someone who's not experienced in AP can come up with some information online that's actually viable/valuable.
    Yes, Banking machines were good at one time. But it was definitely lots of walking, waiting and searching. (somewhat fun until the Chinese and undesirables caught on). Once that happened It had become an absolute joke in LV. However, some locations outside of NV had higher limits lots of play and little competition.

    Whatever it was slow I spent time just outside NV in a location that had lots of $1 and some $5 machines. Normally nothing special however there was little competition. The main reason I went was because anytime you got a hand pay OR a hopper fill they pulled the coins out of the hopper and gave you a free spin.

    Whatever there were not any playable bonus machines, I would force hopper fills on the $5 VP by feeling in $100's and cashing out. That's a free $25 hand of VP.
    I would do that about 5 times during the long day on the weekends(usually tipped $3 each time) you would also make your money on the banking slot machines as well.

    Seriously? You walked out of a casino with over 75,000 $20 bills and literately filled up a pick up truck bed about a foot deep? That must have been quite a sight.

    CoachYellowBelly might not be as dumb as Alan in regards to gambling,but he's the biggest troll on that forum.

    Next time, do what I did when I won Megabucks: get most of it in coin and build a money bin.

    Here I am, enjoying my effortless wealth:

    Nice. But when that Nigerian prince Mangumbaja paid me that 23 million like he promised after I sent him the 2,300 for him to safely deposit it in my bank, I just bought that bank branch. Kept everybody working there too. Gave them all raises.

    I also had a dealing with a Nigerian prince. Unlike you I only received 2 million for my 2050 dollar western union cash transfer. People dont understand people that have learned the way to separate money from the right people. Its all out there..but few know the secrets.
    Nigeria is filled with princes and princesses that are willing to split money in their various accounts for just a small investment for people who know how to use the system. There are better people than me who do this consistently . I am a small time player in that I only have attained 27 million from the years and years of mining Nigerian princes.

    I remember once I sent the money to nigeria, and didnt get any money back. It was a substantial sum, ...over 5k. I knew there must be some mistake. I flew out to Nigeria, to the address that I sent the money. I tracked down the Nigerian Prince,...he was outside smoking an american fag named Winston. I approached him ..explained the issue, and he walked me to his bank, and personally withrew 12 million. We went to the local Mail Boxes etc and we had the worker box the money, and send it to my home. He paid the expense of the mailing charge, and then invited me home to fuck his sister.
    When I got back home it was on my front step waiting for me.
    For all that care...the smoking of fags of any name is allowed both indoors and outdoors in Nigeria.

    I hoped you'd tell us you smoked a fag WHILE you were fucking your host's sister.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that ... in Nigeria.

    Larry, I'm glad we make you happy and you are amused. You sure don't seem amused nor happy, though. But I'll take your word for it.

    Can't answer the other questions and not sure if it was that play in particular, but Axel has told me that (at least once) they were on a progressive for several days.

    I haven't played many VP progressives, but, I think the "worst" (in terms of time to snap off the royal) I / we have ever run was probably about 42 man-hours (3 people x 14 hours). Then again, I've hit a few in less than 6 or 8 man hours. But I couldn't imagine going 90-100+ hours....that'd be a bad time to run bad, that's for sure.

    If I'm not mistaken, probability of going X cycles without a royal would be (31,999/32,000)^(32000*X), assuming a 32k cycle. Then similar for 3 and 4 cycles. Then 1 by that number.

    2: 1 in 7.38
    3: 1 in 20.08
    4: 1 in 54.60


    So yeah, as juicy as $800/hour sounds, you're only getting a 2% advantage on a high volatility play. At least there is an assurance you'll hit the RF, barring you run out of money (somehow?), since you can lock up all the machines. Nothing worse than being on a progressive for many hours, being down a significant amount, only to have someone else snap you off.

    The worst I ever ran was a progressive must hit at 25K.

    The math said It’s a play at 22.8K. I played 4 days in a row never leaving the machine. I cleaned out my bowels with some ex-lax the day before. I didn’t eat the entire time while playing in fear of having to take a shit, and drank nothing but Red Bulls and Coffee. I held in my urine never once leaving the machine. On the 4th day I remember feeling oozy. The next thing I remembered was waking up in a hospital hooked up to IV’s, and oxygen hoses stuffed in my nose.

    Apparently, I suffered a heart attack, and ruptured a kidney. After a couple days of additional tests I was finally released. I went back to the casino to gather my personal things left behind, and checked the game which was reset to 5K.

    Not only did I lose 12K on the machine, I had no health insurance and the ambulance, emergency room, and hospital stay for 3 days of testing was 19K.

    I never tried from this point forward to do that again single handedly. I put together a team from help wanted ads on gambling forums.

    Just a side note, I was still a winner at this point thanks to my big previous win.

    In addition to my previous post, I know there will be skeptics about hiring a team from gambling forum help wanted ads.

    One of my most loyal team members came from that exact ad. He was a Muslim refugee sent to the USA from Afghanistan. He was once training to be a suicide bomber for Bin Laden. Thanks to the USA invasion and the killing of his boss he became a refugee.

    He always reminds me during a play that he is willing to blow up himself and all the machines involved in the play if someone else hits the jackpot other than the team. I keep reminding him what about the other teammates on the game. That’s when he starts yelling some shit in Muslim like Allahu Akbar!! But talk about loyalty. So far his team hit every play. (thank Allah)
