Thread: Harrah's Rincon and the mysterious One Million Dollar Winner

  1. #21
    A DRUM-ROll PLEASE… Introducing the Year of the Millionaire’s 2013 grand prize winner, Ms. Chalyrutana Arkomdhon ! We made her a MILLIONAIRE and cant wait to do it again. So start thinking about how you are going to spend your million dollars! Stay tuned.

    They got a picture of her holding the check. Might have been an out of country thing, who knows. The whole 1 week of secrecy thing will hang over them. Hopefully if this was just bad marketing they fix it by the summer for the next drawing.

    This also gives credibility to the story from the person who "saw a really long first and last name at Total Rewards" before the paper was snatched away by a supervisor and the employee scolded.

    And now we see the name Chalyrutana. Does that make me close to a psychic? Can I predict draws when you have four to the royal?

    Now we have to find out who she is, how much she plays? I am sure there will be posts over on Facebook about this.

    LOL, I hate those draws because there is such an emotional churn to them.

    For every second that passes by before pressing DRAW, there is a .02 second "sweet spot" (1/47 chance) that brings joy to the session.

    I hate having to sit there and wonder when I should press the button because of the stakes involved at that very moment.

    I've often wondered what is the actual statistic -- how many "numbers" go by in a second, and what is that "sweet spot"? Is your number the real number?

    Alan: I wish I could give you a firm answer, but I have spoken with a few slot technicians that told me the processor clock speeds are capable of making billions of numbers per second. This makes sense because a common measurement of CPU speeds is in terms of MIPS (Million Instructions per Second)

    WIKI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Million...ons_per_second

    Note some of the more modern processors near the very bottom of the list. They go into the tens of billions of instructions per second. Each random number generated presumably requires 10-20 instructions (maybe more?) to execute in a loop, so we are still looking at numbers being created by the nanosecond (billionth of a second) or less.

    So if you sit there for a minute taking a deep breath deciding when to press the button for the magic 5th royal card for either a $20,000 jackpot or a frown, it's quite likely 60 billion numbers passed through the machine during that time where roughly 1.2 billion of those numbers will give you a great big smile and a sense of oneness with the casino universe.
