Gambling City

They (slot machines) sit there like young courtesans, promising pleasures undreamed of, your deepest desires fulfilled, all lusts satiated.
Frank Scoblete, American Author

When we put 50 machines in, I consider them 50 more mousetraps. You have to have a mousetrap to catch a mouse.
Bob Stupak, Las Vegas Casino Owner

Even in their wildest dreams, casino owners could not possibly have concocted anything to match a slot machine's raw capacity to generate revenue.
Lou Krieger and Arthur Reber, from “Strictly Slots”

I think of how many thousands of times I've played a slot machine with nothing to show for it.
Barry Meadow from "Blackjack Autumn

There are clubs that would have to close their doors without a slot machine.
Mike Goodman from "How to Win"

• Pick a slot machine with denominations most suitable to your pocket.
• Bet the max number of paylines, as this is the only way to get the jackpot. It is the jackpot that increases your overall odds of winning.
• Watch for special promotions, like high jackpots.
• Play slots that haven’t paid out in a while.
• Use Casinos that offer Welcome Bonuses, this will increase your bank roll for free and your chance of winning. It is a way to increase the odds in your favour.
• Use Casinos that have a Loyalty scheme. That way you gain points which can be redeemed for various prizes and sometimes can be converted into cash.
• Learn the payout table. This will tell you what combinations pay out, and whether betting multiple coins will gain better pay outs.

I’m That Man
Ned was down on his luck in Las Vegas. He had gambled away all his money and had to borrow a dime from another gambler just to use the men's room. The stall happened to be open, so he used the dime in a slot machine and hit the jackpot. He took his winnings and went to the blackjack table and turned his small winnings into ten million dollars.

Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams, Ned went on the lecture circuit, where he told his incredible story. He told his audiences that he was eternally grateful to his benefactor, and if he ever found the man he would share his fortune with him. After months of lectures, a man in the audience jumped up and said, "I'm that man. I was the one who gave you the dime."

"You're not the one I'm looking for. I'm looking for the guy who left the door open!"

You Can't Lose
Two girlfriends, Britney and Tiffany, went to Vegas to play the slots. Each agreed that when her money was gone, she would go to the Casino entrance and sit on the bench to wait for her girlfriend.

Tiffany quickly lost all of her money and went to sit on the bench. She waited, and waited, and waited and waited.

After what seemed like an eternity, she saw Britney coming toward her carrying a huge sack of coins. "Hey, it looks like you hit it big Britney!." said Tiffany "Oh yeah," said Britney, "did I hit it big! I found a good machine, its way in the back. I'll show it to you-you can't lose! Every time you put a dollar in 4 quarters come out!
