Walking down to Harrah's I was a guy that basically knew nothing about making money from machines other than how to hustle abandoned credits on them. I had played video poker before but it was all sucker stuff. Although I had been reading Lenny Frome in Card Player Magazine about FPDW, 9/6 Jacks and a game called Flush Attack. But I had never seen those games before and had no strategy.
I get into Harrah's and I'm hustling credits. I picked up maybe $6 in about an hour. I spied another credit hustler and struck up a conversation with him. He told me he came into Laughlin on a 3 day package, went broke on the first day, and had nothing to do but walk around. Some local showed him how to hustle credits. Then he said this local also showed him the Pigs. I asked what the Pigs were. He said they were some machines some of the locals were beating. I asked him to show them to me. He took me over to the smoking side and showed me the machines. Here is a screenshot of a Piggy Bankin' machine.
