Dumped a bunch back today with the STP activated. It only popped up once on a good hand (trip 10s) but couldn't improve any of them. Gonna go back to the slot plays which have been nice and juicy lately. 8-)

Rarely and mean very very rarely play any slots with 86-91 percent returns, but if you hit something on one, I would run not even skip for the door.

Afaik, he isn't playing them at 86-91 percent. He plays variable state slots that go up and down in EV.

I had a rare accomplishment not long ago. I found a slot with 72 wilds on the minor at a 75-cent bet:

Notice on the display the minor "must hit by 75." At that point, the bonus feature triggers automatically.

I played it up to 75 and completed the bonus spins. Lost money on the play.

I think the bonus paid a little over $50 but I was in for nearly 100.

I wish there was a way to see player percentage returns on slots, but as far as I know there isn’t

The industry doesn't want you to know. Expert slot players have a few tricks. They may request a machine adjustment, knowing they can look over the employee's shoulder to see payback info on the config screen. Or some machines have coin in and out meters viewable from the exterior.

But situations can still be viable despite incomplete or imperfect information. Slot paybacks aren't the only secret in the casino. Marketing offer formulas are rarely disclosed. Drawings are usually now electronic, and total entry counts in the drum are rarely disclosed.

You’re back. Need fresh eyes to analyze how eight great hits couldn’t even make my trip a wash.

The RR's are a pretty fun game. Especially when you are lucky enough to find them close to maxing out.

Speaking of the RR's, this is the first jackpot I've seen anyone get at the $3.75 level. I don't know if it was maxed out Mega as the last I saw him playing it was at 119.

How about a dealt, sequential straight flush.
