Thread: My story of beating Piggy Bankin' and other +EV slot machines in Laughlin

It was a thing that started out slowly but built up over time to where I was getting a totally free ride in Laughlin. In the forums I called the strategy Laughlin RFB 362. That meant I could get 362 room nights, along with the meals, comped every year. The only 3 nights a year I couldn't get comped was the last weekend of April, Biker Weekend.

    The story starts when I was thumbing down Hwy 99 in California in Oct, 1996. I was almost broke and on my way back to Las Vegas where I could at least credit hustle the machines. At Bakersfield I hit Hwy 58 and got dropped off at Tehachapi Pass. I spent the night in my sleeeping bag by the on ramp to the freeway. The next morning I got up, went to the convenience store, took a whore bath in the restroom, then bought a cup of coffee. I walked back out to the interstate. I counted up the change in my pocket, a whopping 99 cents left to my name. I had about a half pouch of tobacco left. I stuck my thumb out.

    After a while a man in a van pulled over. He asked me where I was going. I said Las Vegas. He said he was going to Laughlin. I asked if he could drop me off in Laughlin. He said sure. Laughlin had machines and I wanted to be on those machines before the day was though.

    He dropped me off above Harrah's. I stashed my sleeping bag and day pack in the desert and walked down to Harrah's. It was going to be a fateful day. I'll finish the story later. Time to go back to bed.
    Walking down to Harrah's I was a guy that basically knew nothing about making money from machines other than how to hustle abandoned credits on them. I had played video poker before but it was all sucker stuff. Although I had been reading Lenny Frome in Card Player Magazine about FPDW, 9/6 Jacks and a game called Flush Attack. But I had never seen those games before and had no strategy.

    I get into Harrah's and I'm hustling credits. I picked up maybe $6 in about an hour. I spied another credit hustler and struck up a conversation with him. He told me he came into Laughlin on a 3 day package, went broke on the first day, and had nothing to do but walk around. Some local showed him how to hustle credits. Then he said this local also showed him the Pigs. I asked what the Pigs were. He said they were some machines some of the locals were beating. I asked him to show them to me. He took me over to the smoking side and showed me the machines. Here is a screenshot of a Piggy Bankin' machine.

    There were six quarter machines and six dollar machines. The quarter machines were the ones getting all the action. I'm standing there with this other credit hustler and I look over to see two guys sitting at a couple of video poker machines with buckets in their hands. They were staring intently at the action on the Piggy Bankin' machines. I thanked the guy for showing me the machines and told him I had to get back to work. I made a couple of laps around the casino then returned to the Pigs. I sat way back and watched these two guys operate. A tourist would put a twenty in a machine and play away. The Piggy Bank on the dotmation screen at the top of the machine started with ten coins in the bank. It was a two coin machine and thats what the tourists bet. When the reels caught all blanks on the line two coins were added to the bank. The coins in the bank would keep going up. There was a symbol on the third reel called "Break the Bank." When that symbol landed on the line you got all the coins in the bank. The bank would then reset to ten coins.

    Sometimes a tourist would run the bank way up then run out of credits and walk off from the machine. That's when one of these two guys would get up and go to the machine. He would bet one coin at a time until he broke the bank. Then he would cash out and return to his seat. They just kept watching the tourists and picking off the plays as they developed. They didn't seem to like anything under 35 coins.

    I was sitting there dead reckoning these two guys. It looked like they were making money to me. I figured they knew what they were doing. I knew I was going to have to give those machines a shot if I ever got some money. I took note of it and headed up river to credit hustle the other places.

    The next stop was Gold River. Besides hustling credits I was looking for the Pig machines too. There were none in Gold River at that time but they would later install 8 quarter Pigs. From there I hit the Golden Nugget. There were two dollar Pigs at the Nugget. And from the Nugget I walked over to the Ramada. There were just two Pigs at the Ramada but they would later install 10 quarter Pigs. Then I went into the Pioneer. There were no Pigs there at the time but they would later install 8 quarters, 2 dollar machines and one $5 machine. Then to the Colorado Belle where there were 2 dollar pigs and 10 quarters.

    When I walked into the Edgewater I had about $20 and change on me from the credit hustling. There were 6 dollars Pigs and 10 quarter Pigs. A lady was playing a quarter Pig and the bank had 65 coins in it. Her husband walked up to her and said "C'mon, honey, we got to get on the bus." She cashed out. I sat down on the stool in front of the Pig machine. I didn't want anyone else to get the play while I thought about it. I only had about $20. Was that enough to play the game? I didn't know. It wouldn't be that much of a disaster if I lost the whole $20. I would just start back over credit hustling. So I decided to throw down on the play.

    I dropped a quarter into the machine and hit the spin button. The wheels went around and around then the "Break the Bank" symbol landed on the line of the third reel. I broke the bank on the very first spin of the very first Pig play I put down. I told myself "I think I'm going to like this game." My bankroll was then up to a whopping $36.

    I went through the Flamingo where there were no Pigs to be seen. Then the Riverside where there were 4 dollar Pigs and 8 quarters. I kept rotating though the casinos credit hustling but also playing off any quarter Pigs I found with 50 coins or more in the bank. I amazingly got through the window on the play. Two days later I had a $300 bankroll which was plenty for playing the quarter Pigs.

    There are things I now know about the Piggy Bankin' machines that I didn't know when I first started playing them. I eventually started collecting statistics when I played. The bank started at ten coins. While betting one coin, when all three reels showed blanks it would put one coin in the bank. This occurrs every 11 spins per average. So 1 divided by 11 meant a meter speed of 9.1%. With a meter rate that strong I consider this game to be a rapid progressive.

    I was taking a 29% drop between "Break the Bank" hits. I averaged breaking the bank every 90 spins. This means the cost to spin a play off is 26 coins (90 X 29%). The tourists played the game betting two coins so every time they caught blanks it put 2 coins in the bank. So with the variance this caused the banks to sometimes climb to 40, 50, 60 coins. And I always loved it when the tourists walked off leaving these big numbers.

    It was easy to calculate the average win. If there were 50 coins in the bank, and betting one coin, you are expected to put 8 coins in the bank on the play because of spins where you catch blanks. (90/11 = 8.18). So 58 minus 26 meant an average 32 coin win. An average 32 coin win meant the game was at a 35.5% advantage (32/90).

    The game is a cash cow as long as you stick to playing good numbers....and you don't need much of a bankroll to play it.

Two days later I had a $300 bankroll which was plenty for playing the quarter Pigs.
    I recognized the Piggy Bankin' machines for what they were, a golden opportunity for me. It was a steady source of income. On my third day in Laughlin I checked into the Harrah's hotel. I didn't know it then but my homeless career was over for good. I transitioned from homeless drifter to full time gambler literally over night. There was nothing in between.

    I discovered the linked banks of Flush Attack in Laughlin. I had read a Lenny Frome article about them in Card Player Magazine. The machines were linked together so that when the accumulation of three flushes were made it triggered Flush Attack mode and the next player to make a flush got paid 125 coins. I had been studying combinatorial math as it concerns a deck of cards for about 4 years. So I was able to calculate the strategy for the game. I then had two gigs in Laughlin, the Pigs and Flush Attack. The trick to the linked banks of Flush Attack was don't play when the game is not in Flush Attack mode. In mode you are at 135%. Non-mode you are at 94%. But not playing during non-mode made me stick out like a sore thumb. So I played one coin slowly between the lights. Then went to five coins in the light. There were two Flush Attack banks in Gold River, one bank in the Ramada, one in the Pioneer, one in the Flamingo, and two in the Riverside.

    My dive into working comps started with getting a meal comp here and there. I was paying my own rent. The rent was cheap enough as it was, the Riverside was $16 per night midweek and Gold River was $20 per night midweek. The weekends cost me anywhere from $40 to $50 per night.

    I remember seeing those Piggy Bank machines a few years ago, they looked interesting, but I'm not much of a slot player. I've also seen those "must hit by" machines and always wondered how much it might take to get those last few dollars to the score.

    You've probably covered it, but how much does each spin move the meter on the "must hit by" machines? In scouting these machines, is there a magic number that would make you think it's close? If it's much pay by $500 and it's at $450, pass or play?

    Thanks, I wanted to get in before the troll jumps in and tries to interject his "I don't like Mickey" shtick, it's so old and redundant. But then again, so is he.

    There are two keys pieces of knowledge about the "must hit by's" known technically as Mystery Progessives. The first is knowing that when the meter resets an RNG selects a coin-in number for the next jackpot to hit. The second is knowing the meter rate. Meter rates vary on these games. In Australia they have meter rates as high as 6%, highly lucrative. Here in the U.S. I've only seen one bank that had a 5% meter. And that bank lasted for only two months. When they were first introduced here, I think it was 1998, the meter rates were 1% and 2%. But that has changed. Nowadays the meters move at a snails pace.

    If $1 in action moves the meter one penny then it's a 1% meter, If $2 in action moves it one penny then its a .5% meter, $3 and its a .333% meter, 4$ and its .25%. Let's say you find a meter at $48 and it must hit by $50. And you know the meter speed is .5%. Since we know that the coin-in number for the Mystery Progressive is chosen randomly then when you come into the game where the meter is at $48 then the average hit would be halfway to $50, or $49. How much action does it take to move the meter to $49? One dollar is .5% of $200. I always figure a 20% drop between Mystery Progressive hits to be on the conservative side. So 20% of $200 is $40. So we have a conservative estimate of $40 to get a jackpot that pays, on average, $49.

    Nice clear, cogent explanation, mickey. Best I've ever read.

    Next time I'm in Tahoe, I will invest $20 in one of the mystery progressives and see if I can figure out the percentages. Thanks for the explanation.

    If possible, I would suggest observing other players because it's cheaper that way. Keep in mind that some machines only advance the meter on wins (coin-out rather than coin-in).

    That would usually be a definite pass, because of this:

    Oh, it would be a one time thing with the $20. If I don't see any or very little movement, then I walk away understanding why I don't play slots.

    I hate people standing behind me while I'm playing and wouldn't do it to someone else.

    Yes, the way Mickey described it, you can end up spending a lot of money chasing those last few dollars.

    Unless you hit something on the way.

    So if I'm reading this right, you tend to lose around 20% on those Mystery Progressives during the plays when you're not hitting one?

    Does anyone know the actual theoretical return on those machines, when you subtract the Mystery Progressives?

    mickey's implying--and probably sold it to some of the geniuses here--that he's been to Australia, when all he ever does is copy words from others' posts that he gleans from their work. And why on earth would anybody be interested in machines he says used to be available in a certain way years ago or are scarce now? Oh that's right--losers might be. Esp. the ones who would go all the way and spend a whole TWENTY DOLLARS! if and when they come across one of these pigs

    There are more jokes than there are members on this forum.....

    Mickey said it was a conservative estimate. Because of the slow meter movements, my guess is the mystery progressives represent less than 5% of a game's return. House edge on a penny machine is probably about 10%, so the total bleed would be about 15%. But that's a mostly ignorant guess.

    I don't think that was the implication. Australian conditions have been publicized by author Peter Liston, and possibly others.

    Mystery Progressives come in a variety of configurations and payback percentages. If you look at the State of Nevada Gaming Control Board Gaming Revenue Report for Clark County the penny slots on the Strip have an average payback of about 88.5%, Downtown about 90%, North Las Vegas about 91%. On his website Michael Shackleford deconstructed a Jackpot Party line game in the Mirage and the payback was just 86%. A typical type stand alone Mystery Progressive will have two meters on it, one that resets at $25 and must hit by $50, and one that resets to $250 and must hit by $500. If you do the math on them they don't represent much of the payback of the game.

    This is what the math looks like if the small meter runs at .5% and the big meter runs at .25%:

    With the small meter you add the lower parameter and the upper parameter together to get $75....then divide by 2. This tells you the average hit is $37.50. This means an extra $12.50 in the meter. How much action does it take to run the meter up to $37.50? One dollar is .5% of $200. So 12.5 times $200 means it takes $2500 coin-in to drive the meter to $37.50.

    37.5 divided by 2500 means the small meter represents 1.5% of the payback.

    With the big meter you add $250 plus $500 then divide by 2 to get the average hit of $375. One dollar is a quarter of a percent of $400. There is an extra $125 in the meter so 125 X 400 means it takes $50000 in action to move the meter to $375.

    375/50000 means the big meter represents .75% of the payback.

    So the meters represent a total of 2.25% of the payback.

    Depending on where you are playing the game it could have an overall payback of 86% to 91% meaning the game could have a payback between Mystery Progressive hits of 84% to 89%. I figure an 80% return while playing for the Mystery Progressive in order to be on the conservative side. I have to figure that at least a few points of payback are in the long shot line pays that I may never hit.

    My guess is that it's close to 15% with penny machines having the maximum edge that the law allows.

    I think a 15% house edge would be somewhat unusual, based on published payback data. The American Casino Guide's slot payback page shows a range of 8 to 12% (hold) for penny machines in states that report results by denomination. In Las Vegas, both downtown and the Strip average about 11.5% for pennies, so it's likely that some individual machines exceed 15%.

    California tribal casinos don't publish results as far as I know, although in Connecticut, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun hold about 11% each for pennies.

Esp. the ones who would go all the way and spend a whole TWENTY DOLLARS! if and when they come across one of these pigs

    There are more jokes than there are members on this forum.....
    Maybe if you would have stopped your degenerate gambling at a whole TWENTY DOLLARS, you would not have driven your family into a whole BANKRUPTCY

    Because, Mr. Brain Surgeon, history has a way of repeating itself. Piggy Bankin' is a classic accumulator slot. I've explained how they work and how to exploit them. There has been a myriad of different type accumulator slots to come out over the years....and new accumulator slots are still being developed. They have different ways of being exploited. I personally inspect and analyze every new game that hits the casino floors. Its the person that has the knowledge and experience of how they work that has a leg up on everyone else in analyzing and exploiting them. Sure, some of the games I explain in this thread are pretty much extinct in the U.S, but the concepts of how they work never go extinct. You never know when a new game, with a new theme, will come out, but works the same way as some extinct game.
