I had to laugh at the references to security "tapes." Obviously, casinos aren't using VHS tapes anymore. All digital content, on hard-drives or in the cloud, most likely.
Went to LV in July 2015. Played 6x 25c at Circus Circus. Never ever gambled in my life. Won $1.500 on a slot machine. Pure luck, took my winnings and left. Did not win enough to be offered anything "free"......
34:28 This is where great skill and lots of practice combine to make one smooth SOB. It maybe outdated technology that recorded him but honestly it looks like he is dealing the cards completely normally in the video.
Well he's sure taking his dear sweet time getting around to it then. It's been many, many, many hours. And in the meantime he's done quite a number on New Orleans instead. Also Detroit in a manner of speaking.
People gamble at the smaller, off-strip properties because the odds are better on the games and the price of food and drink is much lower. You don't need a 629 page book to explain this...
29:40 lol, "they wernt trying to leave" NO they wernt... your security guy was a bit over zelous ;) sure they were trying to rip off the casino but please dont lie to further your cause :)
oh ive no problem with the security getting hold of these guys, they were cheaters and got what was comming to them, but if you re-read my comment you'l see i was talking about the guy stating that the crooks were trying to leave the Casino, he actually says it twice to try to re affirm to the viewers that the crooks were "trying to leave, or trying to get away", when in fact they wernt.
A 80 year old can steal, but also a 16 year old can steal. I thought 16 year olds weren't allowed in casino's? Time to take the 12 year old stealing prodigy nephew to LV.
Everytime I enter a casino securities and police officers are always by me....weird... I'm thinking they know me that I take their monies every time I'm there. I legally take their money. Meaning I win a few hundreds here and there and some days a few thousands here and there....
No, not at all. Nor are cellphones. In fact, this isn't even accurate to say that there aren't clocks in casinos, often there's one on the wall in the little eateries they have off to the side, and they also often have TVs on in the main gambling rooms showing sporting events which also show the time. I don't think they really care about making it hard to know what time it is.
By refusing to allow card counters the casino's are openly admitting that you have to be of low intelligence in order to gamble. Anyone with sufficient intelligence to calculate the 'chance' in a situation is banned. If they allow you to play, you are admitting that you are of low intelligence.
There was another travel channel documentary: Beating the Odds, that discusses card counting in more detail. The surveillance lady spoke about how they don't encourage card counting. Ray Sarette stated in that documentary that it's an educated way to play cards that casinos don't like, plus he added that while most casual gamblers are playing for a gambling high, most card counters are primarily focused on making money, not having fun.
@35:25 This statement is false ever since server based gaming came into casino's. The person behind the camera at the central computer can decide whether you win or lose on slots. They may not be able to change pay-out % "on the fly" (according to gaming law) but they can/will adjust the "volatility" of the game to change the hit frequency.
june201955 There are laws regulating server based gaming. A machine that the manager intends to change the payout on must be idle for a certain period of time.
jdoggg1119 I know this. Please read what I said about them changing "volatility". There is nothing stated in the gaming laws about changing "volatility", only payback %. This is the casino's "loophole". You can have a slot set at a very low or high payback %, but adjusting the "volatility" will make the slot hit or miss winning combinations in the short term of play. Payback % is the setting for the long term (millions of spins) of a slot.
Yes, in the long run which is the lifetime (several years) of the machines operation. But the slot can, and will be manipulated by the casino before it reaches that point. The reason why they do this is to play head games with the slot player to get them to play/spend more during their playing session(s).
I am so sick of gambling it’s a nightmare why do the bookies always get one to beat you it’s real brain damage I just need a pill to stop me gambling I’m so sick of it I need to stop it’s a real fucking nightmare
Speak for yourself. I targeted a small casino quite recently, doing what was described in blackjack at 19:43, jumping from $5 to $100. Had to be aggressive to justify my play. It worked, I won, and got 86d a few hours later. That is the power of counting cards my friend.
