Mission, I’m a little late to the game on this one, so I definitely don’t know the whole story like the rest of you. I’m going mostly on what I read in the wire.com article. You seem like a pretty sharp person. Do you really believe all the statements Kane made in this article? Do you really think Kane tried to tell the attendant about the glitch the first time? These are the same guys that tried to exploit it at the same casino hitting seven jackpots in an hour and half. It’s shocking they got away with it for as long as they did.

Here’s what I think happened with this play by reading between the lines. Kane was able to get one of these machines in his home in 2006. He claims it was because he was addicted to this game, but the more likely reason was probably so he could understand and exploit it. The article said he even had technicians service it. I expect this was done so he could understood the inner workings of this machine.

Do I think he or Ron just happened to get lucky and hit on this play? No. I think Kane having this machine in his house for several years probably played a huge role in him finally figuring out how to exploit it.

Obviously, if I am right and this is what happened, Kane is not going to say this in an article. He’s sticking to the story that he just happened to push a couple buttons and by random chance come upon this play. This story gives him a better chance of not serving jail time.

Everybody, please reread this article but when you do use some common sense and read between the lines. I think you’ll see there is more to it than what appears after your first reading.
