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

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

When I read Liston's book I was pretty jealous. The bigger the meter rate the more lucrative the game is. Liston was playing with 5% and 6% meter rates in Australia. We never saw anything like that in the U.S. The meter rates here were in the 1% to 2% range when the game was new, and those rates have fallen way off to a half percent and less.

Liston was recently interviewed again on GWAE. He had gone to Oklahoma, I think to Winstar, where he said he found 60 Mystery Progressives....but he never said anything about the meter rates on those machines. I was thinking to myself that if I went down there I probably wouldn't find a meter that ran faster than half a percent.
