When did the shift from bubble craps to slots take place ? I must have missed it.mickeycrimm, We have live casino evidence compared to your gambling forum debates. I will offer our evidence as expert testimony. You choose which you wish to believe. I will give you just a tad bit more of deterministic random bit generator (DRBG) proof to ponder - we have a list of casinos in town that will pay back 100+% on freeplay 100 percent of the time on certain slot machines, yet the same slot machines at other casinos (even within same ownership) will pay back closer to ZERO percent of freeplay 100 percent of the time. So is that what you call random or deterministic?Travis, P-RNG's do not function that way. The subject has been beaten to death in the 12 years I've been in the gambling forums. Can you get one noted expert, repeat NOTED EXPERT, to agree with your opinion on this? Compensated slots are not legal in the United States.tableplay, on the surface I would agree with you, but I would prefer more than 1 test case. With just 1 bad apple, Casinos can always fall back on their standby excuse "Malfunction Voids All Pays and Plays". On the other hand, we do have enough stats to prove there are more than enough machines just in Las Vegas that are well outside the standard deviation of normal RNG. If your particular machine's hold has been cranked up, you will be able to notice the "targeting" the 12 effect especially at the $5 level.
However, the problem with playing only at the 25 cent level is that maybe a very bad craps player (gambler) had come in the day before and lost $100. betting on bad bets like the Horn so now the Casino hold is way ahead and it can afford to let you win or not target the 12 at your low level of play. In other words, the casino has it's profit margin for a few days and can afford to dump or let you win at such small levels.
