Ok the $100 ticket/$10,000 wasn't the greatest example. The machine has a paytable. You hit a jackpot say at $1 that pays say 125 credits. That is 125 credits of the denomination that you were playing when you hit ($125). And you know that. If you somehow manipulate the machine to pay you 125 credits of a much higher denomination, say $10 denomination paying $1250, that you were not playing, are you really trying to say that's "ok"?

I mean obviously Rob thinks so. Or does he? If he did, then why wait until statute of limitations has expired?
That's not exactly an example, that's basically what the Kane play was. My understanding was they did not even necessarily have to hit the hands themselves if they found a machine with the hand already showing. I think that could be a bit of a shady area because you're not even gambling at that point.

I'll tell you this, I will say, "No, that is not okay." However, should I ever encounter such a situation...you're never going to hear from me again to call me a hypocrite because I'll be way too busy being rich.
Kane and friend were stupid degenerate gamblers who apparently think like kew does.

It is dead wrong to conjure up a top denom win out of a hand sitting on the machine when you sit down to play. It's also dead wrong to use any winner you hit more than once. I call those both stealing. However, if you are smart and diligent enuf to have found this play by constantly studying the machines, because you are not using some outside or mechanical influence and all you're doing is pushing buttons and feeding in bills, this is something very very special. I believe the case against the two bozos would have been dropped several years earlier if they only changed denoms on their own hands--and used them only once.

Also, there's an article out there somewhere from 2012/2013 that gives what they call step-by-step instructions. Those are incorrect. It's also quite possible that any of you could find machines that still have this flaw in them. I've found two since 2010 (pennies/nickels/dimes/quarters so they weren't worth playing to me) and I hardly go to casinos anymore. But just for fun these days I check whenever I can.
