How to Cheat the Slot Machines
The goal of Slot Machine Cheat is to play
each game in a way that reduces the house edge as much as
possible in general situations.
Beginning in the early 1980s, the leading
manufacturers, Bally and International Game Technology, rolled
out new high-tech slot and video poker machines that used
microprocessors and random number generator software. The
old hybrid machines relied on a combination of electricity
and physics.
The new slot machines that played catchy
tunes and offered megajackpots also made it harder to cheat.
People who attached quarters to strings or used slugs found
their techniques outdated.
For many months, cheaters toiled over a device
known as the slider or monkey paw trying to compromise
the slot machine. The slider constructed out of spring steel
and guitar wire essentially snaked its way into the slot
machine through the payout chute and tripped a microswitch.
That fooled the hopper, the bucket holding the quarters, into
spitting out its payload.
But the slot machine slider's effectiveness
didn't last long, running its profitable course by about 1991.
Improved slot machine technology doomed it. Cheaters then
went to the Las Vegas showroom of IGT, which dominated the
industry. Posing as slot customers, they inspected the inside
of a machine, and IGT engineers answered their technical questions.
Cheaters bought one of the slot machines
and in a matter of days invented a device dubbed a light wand.
"The light would shine in there and be so bright that the
sensor would be blinded, causing the hopper to not realize
it was paying out the coins". The genius was in its simplicity:
a camera battery and a mini light bulb were its key components
to cheat the slot machine
- great tip.
By about 1992, the device was defeating hoppers
everywhere, and Cheaters was making thousands selling it to
other slot cheats. Customers found Cheaters through word of
mouth in the cheating underworld.
When IGT countered with a slot machine protective
device called the Actuator Arm, Cheaters quickly obtained
one. "It took them about an hour to beat it with 'the hanger,'"
they said.
Then everything changed. In 1996, a famous
slot machine cheater sat in front of a slot machine inside
the Circus Circus hotel-casino on the Strip. Flanking him
were Luxem and another woman. Unknown to the Slot
Machine Cheater, a surveillance camera eyed
his every move. His movements had raised suspicions and security
guards were dispatched. Trying to run, the Slot
Machine Cheater dropped a light device on the
floor, but security recovered it. Police charged him with
possession of a Slot Machine Cheating
device and manufacturing a cheating device.
A joint task force soon found all the cheaters,
arrested seven of them on federal charges. Informants had
been supplying authorities with crucial information, and federal
wiretaps recorded the Slot Machine Cheater
and friends.
All seven eventually pleaded guilty, admitting
running an illegal gambling enterprise to cheat the slot machines.
The commission voted to put the cheater's name in the book
of Slot Machine Cheats and crooks.
"They cannot stand the thought of me righting a wrong and
possibly making a little money off it," the cheater complains.
He promises he's reformed. He'll never cheat slot machines
again. But if he wanted? "I could beat them in a heartbeat."
