Be careful about people who make ridiculous claims about slot machines in “regulated” casinos.

I am not a slot expert but I have worked with gaming companies designing “slot machines” so I am more knowledgeable than the average person. I have taken a patent to a prototype device demoed at G2E to the finalized products on the casino floor so I learned a few things or two. That is why my network / group focuses on game design exploits, e.g. poor game design choices or comprised decisions were made. [1]

In this YouTube video, the person clearly expressed that the slot machine industry is highly regulated. Focus on 0:35 to 0:51 of the video. I will paraphrase the speaker: (1) we had to submit the source code and (2) tool chains so the regulators could build the slot machine from scratch (for testing purposes). [2]



Lots of dumb people including village idiots will make unproven claims about slot machines being over 100%. I know one (unnamed) state that does not allow for 100%+ slot machine “off the top”. So if that 5 for 2 Class III video BJ is in this state, the gaming company asserted (to the state regulators) the VBJ has a RTP less than 100% (a point lost on Mickey Crimm).

Once you’ve worked on the design end, it’s very easy to spot moronic comments. Propagation poker is probably the most moronic comment regarding draw poker that I’ve read in 20+ year.

Good luck.

[1] I recently sent videos via PMs of a milestone based bonus game; the first video showed the game being demo’ed at G2E and the second video showed the final product; the final product was an improvement on the prototype and the designers clearly worked on some aspects of the game to make it more fun and at the same time more difficult for scavengers.

[2] Does anyone believe Mickey Crimm can write source code (for a slot machine)? In contrast, I have created algorithms that became source code for my “slot machines”.
