Axel, I only ever played the DU bug in the regular casinos because they have the higher denominations (at least to me--I wasn't familiar with the small places), and I only did it on bumped-up W2G winners. I didn't even play at PT's etc.--just casinos. I also felt I would be easier to spot at the smaller places so I stayed awa from them. Remember, I used a one-and-done policy and moved onto the next place. There are more than enuf casinos around the state. I will forever disagree with you on doing it only on smaller winners. There'd have been no strategy for that. I won say $8000 w/o using a card, then I put it in and purposely lost about 5% of my net win every time and on the highest denomination. My theory was, do it too many times on smaller wins and someone smart might accidentally on purpose catch on. Like you and that lady in the grocery store. All casinos saw me as a loser.

Of course there's non-updated machines out there. You just have to be lucky enuf to find them. The first hurdle is if they have a no double up policy. (Peppermill casinos, Barona, etc.) Then you have to be at the right era machine. It all starts with luck nowadays.
