"More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ

Another part of it the CoD won't like is you had to have the capital to exploit it. Max bet was 3K a spin. Even with a 26% edge the number of spins you could make on each site was limited to like 80 I think (I'll have to reread the article). So the risk of losing on an individual site was significant.

I'm surprised that the "extra value" showed up online and was available to every player. Last year I was at Royal River Casino in Flandreau, South Dakota when they installed 4 Golden Egypt's. There were 25 bet levels and they all had "extra value" upfront. The 1st, 3rd and 5th columns all had gold coins banked. So I got 25 plays off each machine and made about $700.
I've been told that when the game first came out the new installs had gold coins banked in all 5 columns.

It looks like a couple AP’s might have made some serious cash on this play. Apparently, 900K total was withdrawn from all 13 casinos from all the AP’s involved.
Yet, how much of that 900K total withdrawal (of which only 400K has been paid so far) is actual profit?
Max says across all casinos and mathematically speaking the play could be worth 80K to 100K after playing all the denominations That’s 80 spins per site. If their playing max spins at 3K per spin, that’s risking $240,000.00 thousand dollars per site. That’s a quarter of a million dollars per site. If the AP bricks out like he admits many did on his first attempt he moves on to the next site. If he bricks out 3 more times, he’s down a million. If he bricks out on all 13 sites, he’s down 3.2 million dollars. LOL
Max admitted he got lucky on the first site and withdrew 220K. But he never spoke about what happened over the remaining 12 sites. He posts only 2 pictures in the article. One of the starting state and one when he’s up over 200K.
So, all the alleged forum AP’s want to say “see, we told you so” but all the facts are not available. Max said all his friends flew in to play the different sites. So, give me the total of bet in before you declare that 900K withdrawal was all profit. Like Max, were 3 or 4 AP’s the total of winners who withdrew? Were there like 15/20/30 big time AP losers? You’re talking huge risks. Even though the math says it’s good, there’s still one factor: you still have to win. This isn’t about results over 15 years or long term. You need instant results over 80 spins and then it’s over. Unless of course you have a couple more million you want to risk, you could take another 12 shots at it.
Let’s also remember that the site reporting this is named “New Jersey Online Gambling” a site that promotes gambling at New Jersey online casinos. I’m sure there is a reason the article only gives half the actual facts. They certainly wouldn’t want to brag how the casino was the big winner here and how only a couple of people got lucky like Max said. They want to convince everyone how easy it is to beat the casinos. LOL
Post how many AP’s actually played and amount they risked. Then post how many actually won. My guess at these huge numbers much more was lost than won. The only reason the casinos are holding back the rest is maybe they could get away with keeping it and add even more to their coffers.
You would think with all the experts here they would ask about the unknown facts before jumping on the stick it in your face wagon. Just more proof that alleged self-proclaimed forum AP's are just that.
The fact the casinos pulled the games is more likely because if Max for example could get lucky on his first attempt so could anyone else. Maybe Max gave it all back at other casinos but that doesn’t help the first one that took the loss. More than likely the amount of AP’s involved in this play made it profitable for the casinos. Yet, they certainly wouldn’t want someone like Max getting lucky on their first attempt and running with their money in the future.
Max never mentioned any friends getting lucky on the first attempt. Also, the casinos refuse to respond. Maybe it's better for them to keep quite about what they won, and just don't want anyone getting lucky on first shot in the future.

Sounds like there was about 20 different denominations for the game ranging from $1-$3000. If the Ocean bubble was located in the 3rd line at the very bottom of the screen you would get 4 shots per denomination of that bubble contacting an Ocean Magic bubble making every spot surrounding it wild.
That kind of start makes the game begin in one of the most advantageous states possible. Without knowing the payback settings and seeing the par sheets for the reel strip info you can only take an educated guess at the value. I would definitely say a 25% edge is safe to assume.
Apparently this glitch was spread across multiple sites. So each person's action they could get down very well could have been 80k with an expected value of 20k per person. If they got 40-50 people thru before the shutdown occurred then a million total profit sounds about right.
Apparently all casinos excluding Borgata paid so far.
“I took a look at it,” Jay says, “and realized that it started, on the first spin, in an advantageous position.”
(Specifically, he saw that a “Wild” bubble appeared in the first column, second row)
There's a picture of this state in that article.
