OK, no more comments, apparently you represent the interests of the casinos, you are "quite sure" that there is not problems with the RNGs...I've had bad luck for more than 15 years... The next time I'm going to show a video very explicit about what I'm trying to tell you.

Your opinion has been very educative, thank you.

I don't represent the interests of the casinos. I am just explaining how machines are regulated. You are welcome to visit the web sites of each state's gaming regulators and read the regulations on your own. If you play a slot machine you will lose in the long run. Casinos know this and they don't need to cheat you. If you play long enough you will lose all your money. Penny machines have about a 12% casino advantage. That means if you put $100 in, on average, you will have $88 left. Bad odds!

Mardi Gras, Gulfstream, Micosukkee, Hard Rock Hotel, Magic City,etc, are localized in Florida, all of them are regulated and all their slots do the same, after they pay back something big their "behavior" suddenly change and they become very, very tied, sometimes if you keep playing they don't pay any cent in about 15-20 minutes (300 or more bets...) That is not a legal RNG...

Hard Rock is an Indian casino and it is not regulated by the State of Florida. All others are subject to state gaming regulations and I am quite sure that there is no problem with the RNGs that they are using. On each play of the machine the same number of combinations are available on the RNG and it is pure luck as to whther or not you win. Since the Hard Rock uses the same machines that are found in the other regulated casinos I am sure that their machines act in the same manner.

I understand what you say, it should be in that way. Most of the casinos don't follow the "gaming regulations", the casinos do many things to violate the law to get more money, AND IT'S A TRUE.

It's impossible that I have had a "bad luck" for so long, I have been a gambler for many years. When I hit something BIG I move to another machine, very simple. The RNG changes the behavior and pick up numbers that don't match with any winning combination of symbols in the screen or something like that.

[americancasinoguide]

Most casinos are owned by large corporations that are publicly traded. I don't think any of those casinos would risk losing their gaming licenses by violating gaming regulations. The casinos know with almost all of their games that if you continue to play, you will lose. Some games of skill can be be profitable for players, but very few people can do that. Therefore, casinos don't need to cheat on their slot machines. Just avoid unregulated casinos if you are scared of being cheated by a casino.

Then, how can you explain that in more than 15 years playing slots I NEVErREVER won a penny after win a big bonus, a Jackpot or something like that?

Bad luck, no, it is impossible, if I remain playing that machine she will take back all my money, sure... no exception to this rule...

@americancasinoguide I totally agree with you, because I won the jackpot in a machine twice in a row.

[TheShamusOfSlots]

@okcaribe - There are many reasons why machines seem tighter. Steve talked about the relatively lower payback of penny slots. Also - slots are much more volatile -- mainly to give players that BIG HIT that they enjoyed with quarters, but with a smaller penny wager. The issue ... much longer cold streaks. This is being see universally in all casinos.

[americancasinoguide]

I can't explain your own personal experiences. However, I can tell you that gaming regulations require that each time you play any slot machine the odds of hitting the jackpot are the same. The machine doesn't care when the last jackpot was hit, nor does the machine care how much money you bet. The odds remain constant.
