How do I fix this slot machine?

Friday, February 27th, 2009
italiansrck816 asked:


My girlfriend has this slot machine, fairly new.
I cannot provide a model # or anything but it is a fairly general question.

Inside, on the control panel where you turn it on,
she broke the key inside the on off switch.
It is like an igniton, you put the key in, turn it to on etc.

Is there anyway to replace the entire igniton?
If so, how.
Or any easier suggestions?

What % of the new money played on a slot machine is paid back assuming a stated 90% payback on each pull?

Thursday, February 19th, 2009
Barkley Hound asked:


The payback percentage of a slot machine on a single play is usually around 90. This means that if 100 people play a dollar slot machine, on one pull $90 will be given as winnings. Now for subsequent plays part of the money played is won money. My question is, in the long run what is the percentage of the total new money spent that is casino profit? Don’t forget that most players will keep putting their money back in until they have lost their limit. Very few walk away with the jackpot.

What would you do if your friend won on a slot machine with your quarter?

Monday, February 16th, 2009
talker628 asked:


You’re at the casino playing a quarter slot machine. You have a bucket of quarters that you’re using to feed the machine. You’ve been playing for an hour and haven’t really hit anything big. You’re friend comes over to ask how its going. You explain that you haven’t been very lucky. So your friend reaches into your bucket, grabs one of your quarters, puts it into the machine you’ve been playing and it hits for $250,000.

What do you do? Keep all the winnings for yourself? Split it with your friend? Give your friends a small portion? Give the whole thing to your friend?

I am going to a casino next weekend and I am playing in a slot machine tournament. I hardly ever go to casino’s but when you get an offer for a free room and an offer to play in a tournament with a chance to win 2500 why not! My questions are as follows….

I have a players card and in order to be able to enter the tournament I have to earn 25 points in one day. How much $ does it take to earn 25 points?

How do you play/win in a slot machine tournament?

Any info you can provide would be appreciated!
