  • I did not get the part that you said the further away from the "strip" the looser the machines. Please explain what does it mean to be away from the strip? Thanks.

  • Michael is referring to the Las Vegas "Strip" which is the area on Las Vegas Boulevard that caters to the tourists that visit that city. Las Vegas also has many "locals" casinos that cater to the people who live and work in that city. Those locals casinos have slot machines that payback to the public at a higher rate then the machines on the Strip.

  • this should be called "How NOT to LOSE" lol. thanks for vid

  • my wife hit for $950 than 4 spins later hit for another $600 hot machine

  • The machine doesn't know, nor does it care, if someone just won. It will still randomly pick a wining combination on the next spin regardless of what happened previously.

  • You are supposed to get a royal flush about once every 40,000 hands. The royal makes up about 2% of the total payback percentage on a VP machine. So, while you are playing, you will be losing about 2% of your bankroll, until you hit that royal. But video poker is still a much better game than a slot because you can tell what a machine is prgorammed to pay back just by looking at its paytable. This allows you to easily find the best-paying machines in any casino. You can't do that with slots!

  • This guy is actually saying the truth! haha wow I am impressed!

  • @ramindavani

    the strip is bad, I was there and lost a bout $300, just getting nothing, then I went to the Fremont street and one of those old downtown casinos, won $500 on a dollar credit wheel of fortune spin, after about 3 pulls.

  • @cooldog60

    thats a good tip and I would suggest people do it with a $20. If you lose for the day walk away, if you are lucky that day you can hit 100's. But the hard part is walking away on a bad day. Its like life in general some days you win at everything you do, some days you just can't get a break.

  • if you dislike this you have a gambling problem
