What's the most money you ever lost or won at the Casino?

I rarely ever go to the casino. But like all of us, there are those times when you end up going with friends or to catch a show or something as some places have entertainment.

So anyway, last week went to the casino. I started off betting slow, and by the end of the night I lost $800 on the damn slots. I never win anything at those fucking places. After about $300 losses, I was just playing like a blind addicted gambler, trying to win back my losses. But nothing, lost it all and then some.

What's the most you ever won or lost during a single visit to the casino?

Most lost was $1500

Most won was a little over $12k at craps during a three day two night

When I go I USUALLY at least win the money for the trip

Gotta learn money management

That must have been nice! Maybe I am just a poor player who doesn't know when to quit, but I have the worst luck ever.

I think they tweak those slot machines with software or something. They seem to be artificially intelligent in a strange sort of way... like how they tease you with some early winnings to keep you going and hooked, then they start coming up dry until you are out of cash.

i could never justify loosing more than 100 at the casino....just couldn't

yes the slots are programmed to pay out every X amount of pulls

Most lost about 80.00
Most won 100.00

Most Lost $10
Most Won $0

I let my wife borrow $10 for the penny slots. After $10 she was annoyed.
I never got bored enough that I could play the sit there and pull that lever.
The only gambling for me is poker with my friends.

Every guy I know that goes to the casino may get lucky every once in a while (lucky is 2-10K), but the rest of the time he loses big and is working a job only to feed his habit. To me it is a huge waste of time, money, and energy.

Most lost was about $150, most won was around $375! I was just happy I didn't loose!!

sadly I am NOT allowed to gamble because for 8yrs of my design career I designed Slot Machines, jackpot controllers and digital displays for the casino industry.


games likes:
all of the monopoly series
clint eastwood (dirty harry and fistful of dollars)
slotto
men in black
etc.

However I am allowed to play the tables which I like to do anyways. The most I have ever won was $2300 starting with roulette and ending with black jack.

As far as slots, my girlfriend always plays those and the highest she has won was $1100.

I have never lost any money, just always break even.


remember when a house says they have the loosest slots and have a 97% payout, your still losing. What is 97% of a dollar, its 97cents....

When they ask which machine has better odds, I tell them to try that machine in the corner.

You put in 1 dollar in, you get 4 quarters back. Now thats 100% payout. :lmao:

what alot of people dont know is that casino jackpots with slots are linked with other casinos.

For example you might be playing a progressive on the Wheel of fortune slot in Bellagio. Well besides being linked to those 8 other slots next too it. The jackpot controller for the slots may and can be linked to more groups or 8 more slots in 4 other casinos. So talk about really fucking with your odds.

Also the 97% pay out is the average of the house or houses if the casion is linked with others.

that means one slot might be set to 99% and another might be as low as 85%

If all this is true, then it means playing these slot machines is not totally up to chance, as in each machine being standalone and independant of the others. The whole thing is rigged. What can we expect, the people who run these casinos are all white collar criminals, even if they are controlled by the state or have gov'ts oversight. The whole lottery business is crooked and corrupt, and we are the suckers. I just hope these people who run the casinos put some of their winnings into good things for society. I'd hate to think there is some guy walking around with big pockets and multiple mansions to his name.

Rigged not really. But yes, most class II games have a central server that controls the games.

But its not like anyone know when they will hit.

exactly... they are not rigged as apache suggested. The chance of winning or losing has no strategy whatsoever. Its honestly luck of the pull and landing on the one minute second of pulling a win.

Like you said its a central server that controls many. the nice thing is a jackpot controller does record:

how many times played
how many times payed
what the payout percentage is per slot or bank of slots


these are the too companies I worked for:

digital displays, jackpot controllers, and one link systems
www.paltronics.com

slot machines
www.wmsgaming.com

most won 475.

most lost 400.00 or so.

i have a question about slots... i went to the casino last weekend... and mainly just sat around and played like $.05 slots and drank beer all night... these were machines that had the option to do up to 5 lines... i would kinda scatter out my bets doing 1-5 lines just by how i was feeling... i never won a thing (not even my bet) when i would bet 5... but like 3 times in an hour when i bet 1-3 lines #4 or #5 would hit BIG!!! well big for $.05 slots... like 5000-6000 nickles... it did it like 3 times while i sat there... would it have done that had i bet 5 lines? or was it just doing that to get me to put in $.25 hoping for a repeat?

i dont trust things with computers in them... am i being paranoid?

and y would it matter if you worked on them? i mean if its all random what can you do by knowing how it works unless there is a payout code you can enter...

-me

LOL pay lines yes do pay out well and pay more, but they are also there to tease....

nothing worse then seeing 3 cherries or three 7s land on the 4th pay line and you only played 1. LOL

so your saying it still would have hit?

yeah it was trip 7's

and y cant you play? i dont understand... if its random you cant cheat... so y are they worried that you will because you worked on them? i mean i guess you could have put in some hidden code or something, but im sure alllllll that shit is checked and rechecked... im still confused

-me

Its all about perception. If I won and you didn't, wouldn't you wonder if I won because I worked there?

exactly....


its like if the girls who catches the balls for lotto won... people would question it.

and yeah it doesnt matter how good you know the machines or not, your not going to cheat them. to do that you would have to get pass the pit bosses and have access to a jackpot controller. If you had the access, could do that and did do it. You might find yourself floating in a river face down

Not necessarily. Not when the slots are pre programmed to pay out at certain intervals, or along the lines of syncronization with other casinos as someone else suggested.

their programs are not set to payout at certain intervals or times but set to pay a certain percentage of monies ententered in over amounts played.

and

at any time a pit boss can changed a loose slot to a tight slot and vice versa

no such thing of highest win.
you have to take into fact how much you lost to win the big pot.

Two days ago i was playing a twenty five line slot and had a penny on each line.I made a hit that paid 783000 pennies and walked away with 775.00.

True that. I was on the floor near bingo. An older lady just won. I asked the manager how much she won. $15,000

I thought that was alot. But she has been playing for many years, so thats nothing compared to what she had lost.

Once in a while I do see a good looking girl in there. Why she is playing, I don't know.

You really have to enjoy gaming ,it's like entertainment ,if you don't enjoy it don't do it ,because it will make loosing so much harder.I win and lose but with careful money management you can have a good time.I usually go to Biloxi Mi.Ilove the Beau Rivage a real classy casino.On a three day trip the most i won was about 5,000 the most i've lost was about 500.00.Remember manage your money and you won't get hurt much and have a good time.

agreed..


bingo halls are easy spots to pick up hot chics... I dont know why but some hot chics love hanging with the oldies and gambling.

I asked a young hot girl why do you play with the oldladies, her reply is that old people are cute.

To each his own ,but bingo puts me to sleep.I just can't keep my eyes open.

im not a gambler. im into more of a sure thing. i did however put one dollar in a slot machine in the monte carlo. just so i could get a crown and coke before the comedy show we were going to(also to be my first free vegas drink, 21 at time). i pulled every other minute so when the cocktail waitress returned i could pull it like i had been playing the whole time. it took forever so i pull the 4th and final time it gave me nothing i start to leave. my buddy grabs my shoulders. im not a gambler so i dont know these things. after they stop these days they move the end ones. it went to tri7-tri7-tri7. it was like 2,300dollars. they luv to have people win. the machine only had a couple hundred in it. so im standing next to this lit up siren sound for 30min with i guess a manager. then he takes my friend and my self to a box on the floor gives them what came out of the machine. they dont even count that shit these days they put it on a scale and it said how much the machine paid out. then they gave me cash and kept talking saying how glad they were i won(since i told them i was 21 cuz they asked for id, and it was my first time gambling). they gave vouchers(sp) for all kinds of stuff. dinner at the steak house in monte carlo. also gave me helicopter tickets. also a tickets to the variety show at shit cant remember where it was. but they had two strong ass russians, one would balance one handed like a pushup from the middle of his chest while the other one was holding him up. then they had magic, then a comedian. i dont think ive ever laughed so hard in my life. probley cuz i was drunk as shit, cuz i was given 2300 buck earlier for shits and giggles.

it was awesome. "how much have you gambled in your life?" 1 dollar. it paid out tho. so im never gona do it again. some people said so how much more did you gamble. i said not one cent. i got lucky it dont happen twice!!! in casinos that is. thought about doing some black jack. but i felt so weird being the youngest guy in the place and as ramrod said the other day when i showed him my pic "you look like your fucken 12." cuz i do.:flex:

Actually slots are programmed with something called an RNG (random numeral generator)there are a million different combinations spinning,that are processor controlled..each "reel"will get that combo allocated at the time you hit the bet max..or spin button.Each and every slot machine is programmed with a processor chip also allocated with a percentage payback programmed into it.That is how the casino can tell you that the slots pay back up to 98%,or95%..and that % could take as long as 1 year or longer.I have seen machines run their cycle in as short as 3 months!I have owned several of these slots,and have torn them apart,and studied these for years!I have honestly won in excess of over $17,000 last year,and am up about $8,000 this year so far..I have not mastered these yet,but can usually come out ahead almost every time at a casino,just by realizing the high and low cycles they are going through!Not 100%,but I would estimate on a 60-70% win!:yup: :)

i do vegas twice a year and have been doing that for almost 15 years.
while i have won 2 grand here or there, its nothing compared to what i have lost.
take everything in account, airplain, hotel, booze, food and anything you have to buy to take there and anything you buy while there.

lets put it this way, i could have a brand new viper in my driveway when i count up how much i lost over the years.
do i regret it, NO FUCKIN WAY!!
the dabauchery i have had in that town was worth every penny:yup:

Biggest single Jackpot..$5000.00/twice in a week.Average weekly winnings,just over $600.00! and working almost every day to add to this!:)
I have alot of time on my hands,awaiting back surgery,and being on work comp the last two years...:)

you can win....you just have to know how long to stay on a high cycle machine...and how soon to leave a low cycle machine..I have been watched by several casinos thinking that i am using some sort of cheating device.Just remember...that humans program computers..and computers have characteristic patterns also.....that is all....:)

this takes alot of time,and the machine has to be pulled down,gaming commision called in to verify e-prom chip change,and then finally seal the cpu board with yellow seam tape.They usually shy away from this unless extremely necessary.Were you a designer,or slot tech?

nope,just a lot of time and I owned about six Igt,and bally slot machines,ripped em apart and studied them inside out!:yup:

I played at Vegas 1 time. We went in a group of 20 and I don't like to gamble. On the last day I said OK I'll give it one shot. I put a $20 in the "Wheel of Fortune" slot thingy and on my first pull I hit "Spin" and won 1000 quarters which = $250. I immediately cashed out and walked away with my winnings:flex:

old lady next to me said the same thing. your not factoring in the fact that if i had played double coins i would not have won!!! it was funny she looked over to me and said "you should have played double coins" sweet if i had done that i would be the misserable chick that sees a kid win and has something bad to say. like "you could have won more". if i had i would have seen the machine i was just playing win to the next ass that had a pull on it. im not a gambler just wanted a 6dollar drink for 1dollar.

when you go to Las vegas and look at the huge extravagant buildings all over the place, and you think that's all paid by all the losers that went there, it should be clear to even an imbecile that it's all rigged pretty bad, and that anyone who goes in there and gambles is just a chump, unless they really know how to play teh card games.

Not "Rigged".....Just that the house has the odds advantage

If you understand that and know which games & bets knock the house edge down you win

On a personal note...I do best at a craps table.....cards don't give me enough control on the house edge
