Stopped by a casino that I haven't been to in years. I had been barred from throwing dice there but still had played a little VP. But has been a couple years since I was there.
Although I am not a slot player, I was walking around looking at the machines to see if there were some hanging Ocean Magic gifts or any of the other stuff mentioned by Mickey et. al. Also, I will vulture an ultimate x if I see one. As I'm wandering a host I used to know comes over to say hi and where you been and that kind of stuff. We talk cordially a few minutes and then she says they don't allow "scavenging for bonus symbols". I said I haven't made one bet--I was just walking around to see what they had since I hadn't been there for a while.
She said she knows what I was doing and that I better not continue. I had a half hour to kill so I just went and played 25 cent VP. Was getting killed and then hit a Royal (first in several years now I think) and left up a few hundred.
The point being that someone at that casino is aware of the slot vulturing.
I don't know which casino Reg is referring to, but in his area, Joliet is real aggressive in throwing out machine scavengers.
Joliet has been that way forever. But it also means if a guy passing thru works it right he can make some money because of the lack of others working the games. The trick is not looking like a slot hustler. Sit down on the Golden Egypt, set it on the nickel level and start spinning. Here and there check the higher bets levels but quickly and only a couple at a time, going back to the nickel level and spinning. Give yourself some cover like that.

Smurger--here the host, managers, and pretty much any suit have multiple duties. But I cant say for sure she is still a host but she was for years when I was a regular.
Mickey--I am sure I looked like I was scavenging because I was walking through the whole casino checking the various denominations on all these games. So even though I wasn't playing, I know what it must have looked like. If I ever actually play (doubtful) I will try your suggestion.
