Today, I’m lucky enough to shadow the youngest licensed casino operator in Las Vegas - who’s on a mission to revitalize downtown Las Vegas. From slots to security, I get to see what really goes down behinds the scenes of a billion dollar gambling business. This is a day in the life of Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino in downtown Las Vegas.
I get to ask Jonathan about the secret tricks to gambling at a Las Vegas Casino, including slot machine secrets, roulette scams, craps best bets, and so much more!
I dreamed of being a Las Vegas Casino CEO when I was in college, so this is a very special episode for me.

Old town is an interesting mix of good and bad places, and is noisy, but far better than The Strip. All of the locals in fact know the 3 or 4 ways to avoid it entirely as it's a huge mess to get across in terms of traffic. I liken it to the county fair. Go once, see what it's all about. Get it out of your system. Then you're done for a decade or two. :)

Totally hands on and will fill in at any job in the casino if needed. And to top it all off I’m 100% sure he reads all these comments. For feedback purposes. So Hi I’ll have to hit the Plaza my next visit.

@@mattperil6074the machine will be set to a certain pay out or a “return to player” percentage- for example let’s say 92% will be returned to player which means in theory that if you invest $100 you should walk away with $92 (in theory). Of course, there’s variables such as a player winning the grand jackpot for $100k or a player winning nothing aka $0.00. But the point is - while the random number generator (RNG) is random in terms of what prize it chooses it’s predetermined to only allow X amount % to be won simply due to the mathematical algorithm programmed into the same. Don’t be confused as it doesn’t have a “brain” like “oh, I just paid this grand jackpot so now I can’t release anymore $$$” but rather the mathematical algorithm will make it a 100% certainty that over the course of the machines life it will only return whatever the RTP % was set to back to the player . Hence, not technically truly random.

What a great DITL interview. Our family has been to Downtown many times over the years. I finally wandered over to Plaza in March. Gaming was good & I won a few bucks. So much potential for that location as downtown reinvents itself starting with the addition of Circa. Bonus VPC sighting. Kudos!

This is simply great that the CEO of the casino has an amazing personality and goes around interacting with players & the employees. You could hardly see this in Canada and the new casino in Toronto is the worst when it comes to customer service especially some of the table games supervisors. Canadians are known to be polite & friendly but when you go to this place, it’s totally a different place. We need to learn a lot from the Americans how to run businesses. This CEO is one of the best I have seen cause he seems to be pretty straight forward, honest, friendly & a genuine guy. Great content!!!!

I absolutely love the Plaza and downtown Vegas in general! For more reason i like the plaza after this video! What a cool guy. Theres an awesome rock n roll bar with live music and delicious pizza inside the casino as well as a donut shop thats really really good! I believe they also have an outdoor carousel bar which was neat! Thats just the Plaza im talking about, walk around the neighborhood you have the El Cortez which is an iconic casino as well as The D which is a no frills place. I Will say if you dont like cigarette smell, the D casino is full of smoke haha.

I love this video that a CEO that is hands on and knows employees' names and what is going on in the business. I have worked in companies that the CEO thought they were better than the day-to-day workers for the company. What they don't realize is the employees is what can make or break a company. I haven't been to Las Vegas in a while. Love they have bingo games. My daughter and I play bingo every week. Thank you for sharing. Napa CA

I find it hard to believe that whenever you win a small jackpot over there in Vegas you have to fill out a form to pay taxes on it , over here in Australia when a jackpot in won you can still play the machine without filling out forms, we don’t pay taxes here as it is classed recreational and you don’t have to declare any winnings seems to be a rip off in Vegas .

4:34 the must hit by bonus is usually complete garbage, so chasing that must hit bonus usually will wreck 99% of the players. There is no way a casino would allow their entire operation to be at the mercy of a random number generator. They can 100% control what a slot machine does from being cold in the mornings to hot at prime time, low bonus wins, no bonuses at all, etc. RNG's could bankrupt a casino if they all suddenly and "randomly" spit out jackpot after jackpot. The casino always wins, you absolutely cannot beat them and walk away with massive profits.

Don't be such a conspiracy theorist. It is a highly regulated industry. They don't need to control or cheat because the edge is already programmed in. It is guaranteed to make money in the long run.
@billfinn45
@billfinn45 16 дней назад
100% correct, anyone who played slots has experienced the machine that is “cold”. It will take all your money down to zero.Nothing random about that. For example do you ever notice when you start losing, it continues to lose and the last ten spins never hit, or after you get a pretty good “ hit”, the machine doesn’t want to pay anything else and starts taking the money back, not random, just programmed to do that.
