Re: Caesar's Indiana slot machine

Now I see. This would present an interesting moral dilemma. It would be
very obvious to anyone who has ever played a slot machine that the
thing was defective.

Those who benefitted will have to decide whether they want to keep the
money and just never return to that casino (assuming they didn't use a
player's card), in which case the casino has a hard record), return
the money, or else risk being nabbed if they walked thru the doors
again.

I mean, it isn't like the phone company mistakenly returning your
$0.35!!

What kind of a jerk is this?

On the very rare ocassions whereupon you might find a machine that
seems to be hot and continues in that way, play it until you drop,
because there are machines around that are definitely in the mix in
order to adjust the house advantage. Finding those machines can cost
you a bundle however.

It wasn't hot it was screwed up. SOmething about the wrong switch
being thrown so it was metering things wrong by a factor of 10. You put
a $20 into a dollar machine and the meter said you had a $200 to play.
Don't know if it paid off at that level or not. The article is at:
