The Only Way To Beat The Machines
A Norwich woman has been accused of cheating when it was revealed she won an undisclosed sum of money from a MGM slot machine without paying a cent.
Using the original slot machines it was possible to time your pulling of the handle to increase the odds of winning.
This became impossible when the machines went digital. So the scammers started using kickstands (devices that trigger the coin release) and lightwands (lasers that trigger the light sensitive coin releases) to get free cash.
Both of these now rarely work as the machine manufacturers cottoned on and solved the problems.
Now days, the only way to make money is to reprogram the machine. A Nevada gaming offical was charged with programming machines that pay off when a certain combo of buttons is pressed.
The Norwich woman, Rosario Guzman, obtain a copy of the technician key card and was able to use it to pay for free.
There is no fate but what we make.
