Perfect example of why being transparent can work wonders for a “brand”. I haven’t been into a casino in like 18 years and now because of this interview and feeling this guy’s passion for his work, I’m ready to go play at Hard Rock next week! ☘️
That was great! If people still ask you if the casinos are some how manipulating the machines, this vid finally should put that fear to rest… Anthony explained it exactly how you guys have been saying it… great info, thank you!
I just returned from Horseshoe in Lake Charles, LA. And had a great run on Double Top Dollar. Using your advise i followed the Top Dollar suggestions and Won over and over high amounts, 280, 250, 270 400 and 130, then it happened i hit the BIG ONE!!! X2 $2000 X2 = $8,000. the slot then shut down, but still save my winnings.Thanks for your advice and channel...
You’re definitely worth the follow! As a follow up, I’m curious about 1) what happens to the old machines; and 2) how the RNG works in a bonus- does it continue to randomize or is it set once you hit the bonus… Thanks for this incredible interview
Majority of machines today get returned to the manufacturer when they are done. If a casino owns the machine, they end up usually going to an auction for a licensed reseller to buy. It really depends on the game, but most games the RNG in a bonus will continue to run so bonus results are randomized during a bonus. Pick style games like dancing drums, the pick is already determined when you enter the bonus. Welcome to the channel! Be sure to join us on our weekly live shows Wednesday and Sundays!
Omg… what a fantastic video! Thank you so much for doing this… I watched from beginning to end and loved hearing what you all had to say. You guys are killing it with bringing your viewers a wealth of info straight from the horses mouth !! 🤠❤️🎰
Hands down the best slot info video ever made! Thank you so much for downing this. Antony was so cool to let you interview him and put a human aspect on the casino game. I'm a big IGT fan for over 35 years. Thanks again for the great content you put out. A++++++.
This has to be one of my favorite episodes to date. So informative and such great stories. I just came back from Vegas and can confirm I'm an IGT fan. I would walk the floor, find something I wanted to play and it was always an IGT machine. Great episode!
Loved this! Wheel of Fortune was the first game I fell in love with when I lived in Philly and AC opened up. He seems so down to Earth and it's great to hear him reinforce some of the facts vs the myths. Great get!
Thank you for this video, it definitely gave me comfort in knowing that people actually care about the Player! I visit and love to sit and play Pinball at the Orleans! Keep up the good work and my hope is to bump into you two one day to personally thank you! I like the channel and regularly take notes, doing the work to understand slots! 🎉
Love what you said mark about transparency! It was nice to see a big player sit down and talk about those things along with you experts. Very cool and still at the end of the day slots are just a form of entertainment that no one can guarantee 🙏🏼
What an awesome video! It was so interesting hearing Anthony talk about new aspects as well as confirm what the two of you have been stating all along! Anthony really did a wonderful job of explaining things in layman terms. I think the three of you would make an amazing trio and can't wait to see more collaborations with you guys in the near future! Excited to see what lies ahead as Anthony mentioned a few very interesting things he has in store. Great video! 🙌
The first jackpot and still so far the biggest jack pot was on a pinball machine at Bellagio. I only play these two slots because I love them so much. Thank you for creating them
This was a fantastic show! Loved the interview. Thank you Anthony! I love IGT games and it's great to know a bit about the guy who designed them. Truely the reason I've always loved IGT was because of exactly what Anthony said, it's about having fun!
That was a great interview! I love hearing back story for games 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank you for asking such great questions that you have already responded for I think (speaking for my husband) 🤣🤣🤣 now he’ll believe me when I tell him your answers to those questions loved it! Great job 👏
EXCELLENT video! I am a new slot player. This was so informative and it is great to know that the slots are truly random. I'm really looking forward to playing IGT slots on my next trip.
Thank you, thank you! I've always been a fan of IGT, ever since the late 80s. I always gravitated to Wild Cherry, Double Diamond, Red White and Blue, Haywire, etc. The rush of video slots upset me, although I warmed up to them, eventually. But I still love classic 3-reel. I appreciate the advances in lighting, music, and sound to enhance the classic experience, bringing it to a new level. Fantastic interview to hear an insider's perspective on the creation of some classic slots. I hope we hear from him again, as well as others in the industry.
Great interview! Thank you and thank you IGT for doing this. I really appreciate, as many others have said as well, the detail your channel goes into about slots versus only playing them.
Loved everything about this interview! Fantastic job - but looking at all of those shiny machines in the background was like a kid looking through the window of a candy store 😂 seriously though, excellent information & love IGT 🎰
Love IGT! I've owned stock in the company for many years, always felt that IGT games were the best out there. It's great to hear that IGT will continue to bring back those older games that we love playing. This interview video was excellent! I'm thrilled that Cowboy Slots and IGT are working together to get more information about slot machines to the people who play them.
LOL you guys going back and forth on who won top dollar vs pinball was hilarious! Had me dying when he just mentioned the word Pinball and Brantley goes "I win!" LOLOLOL
Wow! This was awesome guys! I've been playing Top Dollar since the early 2000s and has always been a favorite. Interviewing the creator is amazing! A real living legend. Very good explanation of the probability with the bell curve. Thank you for doing this!
Wow what a great video, full of information! Really loved the sneak peak portion as well for Top Dollar and what's coming out in the future, exciting times ahead for slots, I can't wait!🙏👌🤩🎰
Great interview! The subject matter I already learned from watching your channel, but it's good to hear it from the actual designer, because when I tell my friends how the machines actually work, they don't believe me, so now I got real proof & sent them this video!. I actively seek out the following $1, 3-reel, single line, old school, mechanical slot machines in every casino I visit in Las Vegas(x3 x4 x5, Wild Cherry, Red Hot Triple 7's, Top Dollar, Pinball, etc). If I can't find any of these old school slots, I move on to the next casino. 🤑
WHEEL OF FORTUNE? That game has given my Wife and I hours and hours of fun. Thank you for putting your efforts in to making something fun for so many of us all while giving us that rush every time we win. You have an incredible gift to turn fun in to $$$. Your dedication is well loved and truly enjoyed. Great show, I just stumbled on it and am now subscribed. Thanks guys. Edit: auto spell stated your incredible gift 'isn't' well loved. Should have, and now reads, "IS well loved and truly enjoyed"
Hats off to IGT, been working on their cabinets from S2000s all the way to the new DiamondRS line - and got to say they _MOSTLY_ have the Tech in mind when it comes to servicing the machine. =)
Great interview guys. Thanks 🙏🏻 I’d kinda hoped to get more info on class II “machines”, how they play and are programmed, what controls the casino has in place. Is it random…
Brantley and Mark this is absolutely one of your best videos you guys put out. Can’t wait till the next one. I think IGT should incorporate TOP DOLLAR and PINBALL together and call it --- (COWBOY SLOTS PINBALL TOP DOLLAR DUEL) with Brantley’s pic above the pinball an Marks above the top dollar.
I was happy to see the bell curve was mentioned. Former guest on Cowboy Slots, Jimmy, posted a video on his own RU-vid channel @VegasEducation with an interesting title, "PROOF slot machines aren't random" . He shows how the bell curve is formed over thousands of spins. It's an excellent video that everyone who plays slots should watch.
My favorite COWBOYS 🤠 What a educational , interesting interview you had asking the right questions for your channel & viewers. BRANTLY & MARC this is why you will continue to grow with SUCCESS because of your knowledge & passion you give every week to everyone with your HARD WORK & DEDICATION .. Your SIMPLY THE BEST 🎉 🎉🎉plain & simple
Olive Oklahoma area just listening you all talk much about top dollar I like see at our casinos in Oklahoma or may make arrangements we play them and get Vegas experience.
Very informative. One question about top dollar or double top dollar . With respect to the RNG, if you hit the top dollar and have 4 offers. Are the offers already predetermined or is the RNG still moving until you select try again? Thank you
Mohegan Sun Casino has Pinball slots that requires 3 Pinball logos in orders that are not explained in tje instructions. Their Top Dollar does not give you hints to take the offer or pass. Both are the latest games. I want the original Pinball & Top Dollar that Brantley & Marc play!!!
I have played TOP DOLLAR since they came out. It's tied for favorite with classic Blazing 7s. And the funny thing is, I never noticed that it tells you which to pick. I usually always go final offer unless $50 or $100 bill comes up ( low denomination machines). I love the challenge, and I do believe if you play long enough (hours and hours) you can see repeated cycles. Just my opinion of course .
Great videos, explanations are excellent. IYO with multiple denominations on newer slots, does the RNG stay the same? Example, if I am betting at the 10 cents does that have a different RNG then say at $2 or are they both the same? TIA
Question, You see these regulars that frequent the casino walking around, checking to see what macines are about to hit. For example, they are looking to see if the bags are almost full or if all the fire works are almost lit or the bowl is filled with coins etc. Is this possible? To be able to tell when machines are about to hit on bonus. Hope this makes since.😊
Those items on the screen like pots, bags, firecrackers, etc. are purely a visual. They are not a representation of when a bonus will hit. It says this in the game rules. Very clever marketing to get people anticipating a bonus, but no there is no correlation.
@@CowboySlots , then what are these people walking around looking at? Is it possible for them to be looking at something thats telling them its about to go off? Im sure I know the answer from listening to all your videos. By the way awesome interview
They are people that don’t understand how slots work. There is nothing on a slot machine that can ever give you any type of indication that it’s going to hit soon. These people you see walking around looking are basing it off either not knowing that it’s just a visual and thinking it has meaning, or superstitions.
He says, there is nothing that can be done to change anything as there are no switches, the casino can't alter the programming of the machines etc. Then later we find out that the machine can be switched to tournament mode. What other modes are there???
