User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Big casinos, like those found in Las Vegas can have thousands of slot machines.

It is not uncommon for casinos to have 4,000 or more slots on their casino floor, the MGM Grand being one example of such a place

Other casinos, though, might only have a few slots or even none, depending on where in the world they are. Some only have table games

How do you use poker chips in a poker game?

Asked by Wiki User

Decide on a decent amount (for whether it is a shorter or longer game, whether you want huge bets). Then work out how much you need in total, assign each chip a value - if they are not already there - and deal out however many chips are needed to each player. If you haven't got enough chips, then simply make sure everything is equal and go with what you have.

Are there slot machines that take real pennies in Las Vegas?

Asked by Wiki User

Along with the El Cortez, there are several other downtown Las Vegas casinos with coin-operated slot machines. Main Street station, the Cal, Las Vegas Club, Mermaids, La Bayou, the Fremont, Fitzgerald's, and the Western combined, have close to one thousand coin slots. Jerry's Nugget and the Poker Palace, a few miles north, also have lots of coin slots.

The Las Vegas Strip is almost all tickets now except for maybe a few at Circus Circus and the Venetian.........I heard that Slots a Fun just converted this year to all tickets.

Other Las Vegas areas with coin slots is the Boulder Hwy area in Henderson, with the Skyline, the Klondike(Sunset), Sam's Town(upstairs maybe), Railroad Pass, and the Hacienda(Boulder City).

One other cool old place nearby, with a few hundred coin slots on the floor, is the Gold Strike in Jean, some 30 miles south on I-15.

Also, Laughlin NV(90 miles south of Vegas).....between the Pioneer, the Riverside, the Golden Nugget, and the Avi, there are close to 1000 coin slots.

What can make you win on a slot machine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Short Answer: Don't play. The machine is manufactured for the casinos that buy it, not for the player. If you play long term, the odds are: the casino will get your money. Want to stay ahead? Don't play.

Earlier answer:

Let's define win. To win at gambling is to leave with more money than you came in with. The only guarantee that you will make the slot machine give you money is to sit there long enough and keep pouring money into it. This is not a guarantee that you will make more than you put into it but odds are that if you sit there long enough you will get something. If people actually stood a good chance of winning money at a casino then there would be no casinos. That would be like having a store that gave away it's inventory. Casinos are designed to make money for their owners. The odds are in their favor. Heavily in their favor.

There is really nothing you can do to make you win. Each pull of the handle is a random event. Winning on a slot machine is basically a case of being at the right machine at the right time. In other words, pure luck!

The truth:

As said the machine is manufactured for the casinos but what is not known is that each machine has a computer generator making codes every second of every day. Those codes are used to make symbol codes meaning it knows were it will stop BEFORE you play the average win ratio in 1 into 700,000 a person has a more change being hit by lightning.

The scam:

If you happen to find a book or something in that nature DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY it is a complete scam if the person had a way to beat slots then they wouldn't need the book to make money. They are only trying to get your hard earned money to waste it trying to find a system witch will never happen.

Do they proggram the slot machines?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Each game outcome is determined randomly. The amount of money you wager on a game has no determination on what symbols come up in any game. The amount of money you wager can determine how much, if anything, you will win when a winning combination is displayed. For example, if you play a multi-line mulit-coin game but don't buy all the lines and a winning combination comes up on one of the lines you didn't buy then you win nothing. If on the other hand you buy all the lines and wager 3 coins per line then you will win 3 times as much for a winning combination than if you only wagered 1 coin per line.

Why do you have to pay tax on casino winnings when you are likely going to put it all back into the casino and then some?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's considered a source of income and therefore taxable. The person choosing to continue gambling with that income and perhaps losing it, is not relevent as far as the IRS is concerned. Moreover, your getting ahead of yourself in the accounting....if you sit and the table and lose....you don't have to have any tax withheld as you won't pay any. And if you win one day, and lose the next, the amount of the loss IS able to be taken against the income from the winnings...so you don't pay tax only on winnings...but NET winnings.

The legal age for gambling in Mississippi in a land based casino is 21.

The legal age for gambling in Mississippi in an online casino is 18.

The legal age for gambling in Mississippi for Charity Bingo & Pull-tabs is 18.

The Mississippi state law for gambling an a land based casino is 21, there is currently no state law in Mississippi for online gambling, so it reverts to the federal law making the minium age 18. This can be due to the fact that land based casinos sell alcohol and you must be 21+ to drink.

Do casinos publish the odds for the different payouts on their slot machines?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, most slot machines have little computers that are "editable" to change win rates and payouts.

The Slot Guru says:Modern slot machines 'are' computers with configurable software that allow operators (casino techs) to select one of many configurations. Only those configurations that are approved by that jurisdictions regulations (tribal or state) are available for selection.

Normally, games are set once and that's it. Unless the game theme or denomination is being changed, it's not normal to change the configuration.

While the actual process to change the configuration takes only minutes, all of the regulatory and accounting compliance requirements can cause the process to take hours.

It's a common myth that casinos change payout % in the games on a whim. The reality is that there is nothing to be gained by doing this. Whether a game is configured to 90% or 95%, the casino will almost always get the $$$ you walk in the door with. The only real difference is the amount of play time you might get for your $$$.

The bottom line is that you are trading $$$ for time of the game. However, the higher the payout %, the more opportunities you have at hitting the jackpot!

the casino can not tamper with the machine it self . the machine are preset at the factory were they are made

Is it illegal to have a slot machine in the privacy of your home in the state of Florida?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Kansas has laws against the age of slot machines that can be owned by residents. Any slot machine in Kansas that was manufactured before 1950 is legal to own in this state. But on the other side of things, slot machines manufactured after 1950 are illegal for residents to own. Due to the fact that antique slot machines manufactured before this time are rare, there are not many residents of the state who have these in their possession.

The main thing that residents need to know is that they are not allowed to own any slot machine that was manufactured after 1950. By adhering to this law, it is safe to say that residents should be able to stay out of hot water.

Is Pokerstars Rigged?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Here is some insight on the topic in a short article that takes some insight from people who have a lot of real money poker experience talking about their Zynga experiences

http://winzyngapoker.wordpress.com/2011/07/25/is-zynga-poker-rigged-or-fixed/

some key excerpts form the article:

"I don't want to turn this isn't an online poker is rigged thread but I don't think it is that conspiratorial to think Zynga may not deal random games

a) there is no money in Zynga. Zynga says Zynga Poker is for entertainment and action flops are certainly entertaining.

b) there is no claim by Zynga anywhere that deals are random

c) there is no claim by any regulator that Zynga random number generator has been verified."

Note: The answer on this page previous to mine claimed that any site that asks you to deposit real money is 100% fixed, which is a complete lie, and the author claimed to not even had played at Zynga poker; not even knowing if it was a play money or real money site. In other words, the answer came from someone that doesn't know anything about the site in question and has no clue about the reality of online real- money poker sites, therefore I had no problem with outright deleting it.
