Im just wondering about something i saw at a local casino tonite?? I have been going to casinos for years and?

Question

never seen anything like this before. There was an older woman who came over and stood by the slot machine next to the one i was playing. She never sat down and she kept looking around nervously. She kept pushing her players card into the slot machine and then pulling it back out. Then she was doing this weird thing with her fingers over the screen and one of the reels was stopping while the other four spun. She just kept winning and winning and at first i thought it was just incredible luck but then i realized it was obvious she was "somehow" manipulating the slot machine. As i watched her she won over and over again and made over $1,000 off of about $15. Also every time she won she would slap the buttons really quick like she didnt want anyone seeing all the money she was winning. I didnt think there was anyway to manipulate the new machines ,even though i realize the old ones could be but i just wonder what was she doing???

Answer 1

It's all just superstition. Why would casinos leave slots that are easy to manipulate out on the floor? What that lady was doing was something that she found brought her luck. She may have won a lot that night, but you never know how much she's lost on other nights. Once again, it's all superstition.

Answer 2

all slot machines in use today at casinos work with digital processors (random generator) on any single spin machine the end combination is locked in at the time a player hits the spin button .  this applies to  reel and video games.touch screens allow for stopping 1 or more columns during a spin.

Answer 3

i know nothin bout casinos but you should of got one of the casino staff thats theft

Answer 4

i TOO HAVE SEEN PEOPLE DO FUNNY THINGS WITH THEIR HANDS OVER AND OVER,AGAIN i DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY DO ,BUT ONE THING FOR SURE THEY DO WIN.

Answer 5

What she was doing with the card is her own superstition. The player's card has NOTHING to do with how much or how often you win. Many people seem to think the cards bring them bad luck and remove them during bonus rounds.  It's a misconception.

Yes, you can sometimes manipulate the screen on the video slot machines, but it doesn't happen often. You can stop one reel while the others spin by pressing that reel. I was able to manipulate a Super Jackpot Party machine in Las Vegas to the tune of $2500.  Next time you go to the casino, press the screen, you will see the same thing.

That lady wasn't really doing anything special. It sounds like she was on a really hot machine. She didn't have some great new system, it really sounds like she is just an erratic slot player.

Good luck!
