When the bonus round is triggered, the program polls the RNG to determine which progressive you will win. It's possible for you to win any of the progressives, but your picking has nothing to do with it. Based on what I was told by a slot director, here is how this bonus round actually works. I investigated this bonus round on 88 Fortunes in past columns. We can't tell what is really going on with the coins because the unpicked coins are not revealed at the end. One would also expect to get each progressive about 25% of the time, but we know from experience that you get the mini and minor most often, maybe occasionally the major, and you've never gotten the grand but you know someone who has. Four times three equals 12, so one would think that each progressive has three coins on the board. You win one of four progressives after you uncover three of its coins. Most of these machines have the same bonus round. Suncoast, which opened a Chinese restaurant just about a year ago, has a greater percentage of its slot floor allocated to Chinese-themed slots than Gold Coast, which has had two Chinese restaurants for years. Some casinos have many of these machines. What are the new tax laws regarding taxable jackpots? Can they still be written off against your losses onįed forms? What about on short form if you no longer have enough deductions?Īnswer: There are many Chinese-themed slots, all I think descended from 88 Fortunes.
Getting ready for our annual winter gambling and golfing trip. and adding a random jackpot hit would make these games even more fun. This would be a more fun game if you always could verify that the winners were there. We also play this on our iPad daily and in hundreds of hours and dozens upon dozens of jackpots have only hit 1 grand and 1 major between us. My wife recently hit the grand at a tribal casino in WI - and had lots of other luck on these machines in Tunica and Biloxi. Why don't they show you where the other icons were behind the scenes (coins not picked) for the higher jackpots? Is this because they are not always there - and you don't always have a chance to win the higher jackpots-and only pay-off the major and grand once the machine has taken in enough money to pay it off after making a handsome casino profit? You mostly get the mini, occasionally the minor rarely the major or the grand.īut once you get a match of three, you never get to see what was behind the remaining coins. When you "get the pot" and you get to select from the gold coins until you get three each of either the "mini," "minor," "major," or "grand" jackpot icons. Beau Rivage and the IP in Biloxi must have 40-50 of them each, though several variations. We wintered in Laughlin last year, visited Vegas six times and hit Tunica and Biloxi this past fall. They are really fun to play but very streaky. Question: Over the past two years, my wife and I noticed that one of the most popular casino slots are the new Chinese Dancing Drums slots. The Wizard of Odds estimates that the house edge on the Flip-It machines that were in Las Vegas 20 years ago was about 10%. If you have a stack of quarters teetering on the edge and they finally fall due to a mini-tremor a thousand miles away 45 seconds after you played your quarter, you wouldn't win anything because the game officially ended after, say, 35 seconds. The casino keeps any coins that fall after the game has ended. Another way the casino makes money is by having a time limit on how long the game lasts after you drop a quarter. The main way the casino makes money on these machines is because the coins that spill over on the far edges don't get returned to the players but go into the machine instead. I don't think there any coin-paying machines around now. Every casino I go to has gotten rid of these carnival-style games (like the Big Wheel). I did a little searching and found posts about coin pusher machines in Las Vegas casinos 10-20 years ago. I thought I had seen them in casinos, but I wasn't sure. Have you ever seen this and is it a good bet?Īnswer: I've definitely seen these sort of games in arcades, where you win tickets instead of quarters. What I can't figure out is how the house makes money. If they happen to push the quarters to the end, you win. Robotic arms push the quarters on the floor. In the slot section they had a game in which you insert a quarter and the quarter lands on the playing field. Question: I just came back from a cruise.
