I suggest you play the slots on the end of the row or bank of slots, play at least 2 coins, and play more than once or twice.

the max you can win is $50.00 what's the point?!? give me the dollar blazing 7's!!!

Well true, the dollar slots are the way to go, however usually when you buy a slot for your home, it is converted from dollar to quarter or nickel because of the lack of dollar tokens at your home...I agree tho, the dollar is the way to go

can you please show more of the computer board if you can and show all of the electronics. I want to know what OS these things run.

OK why does the machine have a "security" device that prevents you from doing something that you would need to be able to open the machine, so you would have to have a key or break into the machine. Don't they realize that if you can get to the reels you can get to the money with no other key? I see no reason that the machine needs to prevent a casino employee from "cheating" at the game coz if they're in far enough to turn the drum they can certainly take money out of the machine.

Machines no longer take coins. All replaced with printed slips and use of bills.

I just thought of a reason for having that reel-bump-sensor thing with the door open. Maybe it's so that an employee can test to make sure the machine is sensing the reel position? i.e. if he/she bumps it and it makes that noise, then it resets them upon closing the door, he/she will know that the reels are working properly. On the other hand if the machine doesn't sense that, he/she will know that the machine is not reading the positions right and will fix the problem/put "out of service" on it

...some machines may have higher payouts while others have a lower one to compensate - they often rotate, so you won't always hang at the known loose machines. The ones at the end of rows, entrence, etc, might have a higher payout ratio - All the jackpots I've won were on the ones at the far end - ALSO the higher the amount of the machine, the higher the payout %. There are other more complex mechanisms and modse you can run you rmachine at, so you'd need a 1 hour video :)

That was a VERY short videoclip - there is much more to a slot than your video - The machine has 2 seperate areas, one where your money is collected and the other used for payouts, it has a mechanism that tilts the container and one to count. Also there is a special key used to activate the SKILL setting of the machine,which determines the machine's payout ratio and it is set according to regulations from the gaming commission ....
