Wizard, what do you think about the new 'server based' slot machines currently being tested at Barona Valley Ranch? Apparently this technology allows the casino to instantly change the machines from their back offices - including the games offered, denominations, and.the payouts! I think this is going a bit far. Since none of the area casinos post their average payback on slots I am (and this is dangerous) assuming that their reel slots payback the same percentages. Not really great but a whole lot better than 5/4.Ĭould you please tell me the exact percentage payback on the 5/4 and 7/5 machines.

On the Detroit side of the river, MGM Grand has their machines at 7/5. That is not a gamble with some expectation of winning, it is a sure loss for players. Needless to say I didn’t play video poker there because I know that the longer I would have played the greater the loss I could have expected with the house taking approximately $30.00 from every $100.00 put through the machine. I looked at about 20 machines and only found one that paid any better and that was a 6/4 machine.Īs I stated, I am not a mathematician but I think that payback percentage must be in the very low 70s.

I am talking Jacks or better was only 5 coins on a full house and 4 coins on a flush. I was really taken aback when I put up the paytable. However, that aside, I was going to play quarter (my comfort level) video poker. No where do they publish their percent payback on slots. I just had an eye-opening experience at Casino Windsor. By the way, I hope you had a wonderful time with your family and friends in Seattle. I have followed some of your articles in Casino Player magazine and I subscribe to your on-line newsletter. To begin, I am not a mathematician but I am a casino player.
