Infinite Game Corner Coins (GBA) North America When this code is active and you use a slot machine at the game corner, you will gain 9999 coins. Turn the code off when you hit the max number of. First, a machine that's set higher and does indeed win more would probably be noticed by regular players as being 'luckier.' To mask that, they would have to go into the slot machine menus for two machines and change the tournament settings, which wouldn't take too long, but the tech would have to be shielded so nobody sees what's going on.

I get invited to these slot tournaments held at various MGM properties. With the exception of the circus circus every property assigns machines to players PRIOR to the tournament.

REALLY? This has happened to you on multiple occasions? I'm aghast!
Surely there are other WoV members who have recent experience playing slot tournaments at MGM properties. Please, someone say this isn't so.

For example one IGT tournament mode chip can return 500 percent while another 2000 percent for the same exact game. The obvious problem with this, is that the casino would know which machines have the higher paying chips and could assign these machines to their “most valuable” customers.

While what you say is possible, I think it's highly unlikely unless there's a ridiculously concerted effort.

Finally, the assignment system would have to be coordinated with all the floor people so that the 'valuable' customer gets the better machine. Can non-management people keep a secret that well?
Isn't there a randomized system for assigning people machines, like how poker rooms use a randomizer system to assign poker tournament seats. (Yes, the computer can be manipulated, but that's another level of coordination for something like MAYBE helping a more-valuable customer.)Romes

I’m not sure it would require a whole lot of coordination to put a higher paying chip in a couple machines document those machine numbers and then assign those machines to the most valued players.

. Rivers casino in PA was caught short decking their blackjack shoe games years and years ago and were fined, yet that just got swept under the rug and no one even talks about it anymore..

With the limited number of licenses at that time, and the absurd profitability of the PA market, that probably should have meant revoking their license. Ridiculous.

I suppose that if a casino really wanted to cheat, that would be a plausible way to do it.
We're not assuaging anyone's fears!Chris Hansen better get on top of this and off those pedophiles.So, this conspiracy would have to include the slot techs who set up the machines, and the marketing promotions clerks or slot attendants who seat the players.
Do you really think that SOMEONE would have dropped a dime on the whole operation if that was going on? I mean there is a LOT of money to be made blowing the whistle on something like that.

And I would assume if the casino wanted to assure a particular person would win the tournament they would probably be dumb enough to set it at 2000% and leave the others at 500%. This would be noticed by just about any halfway educated gambler. A red flag would be an extreme understatement since the scores on the 2000% machines would reach near impossible levels from that of a 500% payback machine. Have you noticed scores on multiple occasions that are way above the avrage?
