cheating

[Half Smoke]

OVERPAYERS was the main slot cheat back in the day. Can't explain right now. Got a busy day.

If I remember this correctly, you did an autobiography thread at videopoker dot com, and an overpayer-player came into the thread with some amazing stories. I knew such a thing was possible, but had no idea it could be a professional area of specialty. His forum handle was Lazyace, but he deleted all his posts apparently.

The thread was from 2009.

I knew someone that worked with Lazyace. Would run into them here and there. As everything started moving to TITO, about the only machines left with coin out was the Bally Gamemakers. That was the machines that lazyace worked. They could be found all across I-80 in northern Nevada.

Parts would wear out on machines and they would pay out more coins than they were supposed to. If you ever watched a slot tech fix a machine on the casino floor, the last thing he would do is create a 10 coin payout then catch the coins before they hit the hopper. If 11 or more coins came out it was an overpayer.

Another thing the techs and floor people did was time stamp a log inside the machine. If the machine took 3 fills in a 24 hour period they would shut the machine down and have a tech look at it.

Some of the guys that worked overpayers would walk away once they drained the 3rd fill. Most places put $200 to $250 in quarters in the machines. But some were as low as $100.

the link is to mickey's autobiographical thread from the past which I was able to locate thanks to Don Perignom
what an amazing story
it's hard to believe - but I do believe it

many years ago I would never have believed someone could make a living from slot machines
to me they are so intimidating - I've never even put a quarter in one

it's a great story - some publisher or producer should somehow turn it into a book or movie -
