It starts with: “Ok, I am going to say this one more time. Someone please take notes. Every time a hustler went to a machine and banged the different bet levels, regardless of who was at the machine next to you, you trained a ploppie.“

Later in the conversation / thread, she writes:
“This concept that gamblers are all stupid is dumb as shit. If you ever did this, you are the problem. It has nothing to do with the handful of people on Twitter. If you ever banged a machine next to a ploppie apologize now and I may forgive you.

I now see grandmas checking the bet levels for an opportunity before settling in on their 75 cent bet. They didn’t get that shit off the internet, they got it from some fucker banging the machine next to them and they aren’t stupid! Stop banging the fucking machines!“

So her trailer park argument is it’s okay for some people (like herself) to check bonus machines but not okay for others to check machines. Can she be anymore of a hypocrite? Unbeknownst to her, she probably taught a generation of Ploppies. (When I check a machine, I know I may be inadvertently teaching others including my competitors).

These are not your machines, her machines, my machines, etc. Anyone can check them for any reason. The saying is if you cannot handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

I guess someone is butthurt because she has more competition.

This is my advice to people in my network: You want to be the one-eye king in the land of the blind (first to play the machine); you want to be the first to pull the ripcord and move on (when the bonus game is no longer playable for ANY reason); and you want to make as much as you can while it is still possible ... the eye should be focused on the next game where there is fewer competitors. You want to play the game of tomorrow and not yesterday’s game.

People were spoiled by Golden Egypt, Scarab & OM and now the games aren’t as profitable. The truth is these bonus games goes in cycle, e.g. each game has a life cycle. Another truth is barriers to entry or information asymmetry ... some games are a lot easier to figure out than others. There is a game of skill that is in a lot of casinos I frequent; the game is hiding in plain sight and I disclosed “effectively” how to beat the game in another forum for years and the best part is the limited competition.

You look at games like Buffalo Diamond or FarmVille, games with high variance (which is why I avoid them) and how hard is it to figure out that at some level of banked free games (aka the equity), you should sit down and play. Then you look at a game like OMG or Joe Blow et al and most people can’t figure out the marginal plays.

In summary, the easier the bonus slot can be beaten, the more competition you are going to get. And when homeless bums are camping out and playing these games, chances are the game is near the end of its life cycle in the casino.
