View Full Version : Freerolling or Lock it Up?Angle shooting in Vegas

I discovered an angle on the slots at the bars in the casinos.On many of the machines at these bars there are actually two seperate coin trays on the machines.One large tray adjacent to the video monitor,(the one we are all familiar with,that dispenses your credits when you cash out.).The other is a small half circle style tray under the counter half way to the floor.This tray catches coins that are not accepted when originally dropped.In the heat of the moment in the loud casino with multiple coins being fired by drinking tourists,many times after someone has been playing that thing is full.And they just leave it!One weekend during a recent holiday I made over 300.00.Not a ton but it will get you some nice dinners.My question is ,since this is truly "found money",from a purely logical stand point does it make more sense to lock it up ,or should I take the stone cold freeroll and go to a MEGABUCKS machine and go for the miracle with everything I found?.(I never ever play a slot machine)also,use discretion when checking out the machines ,dont be blatant.And lastly,obviously the dollar machines are the ones to check.

That money is the casino`s......according to them and they will prosecute the abusers.

It's possible that I didn't understand this post. But, aren't you stealing money from the casino which you haven't won through your play of the game?

Actually you would be stealing from the customers, not the casino. The money was never the casinos because it was funds that a player tried to use and got rejected, according to this post.


I have no idea about this, frankly I don't think it exists in all that many places. I know most bar-tops (industry name for them) just flushes coins it doesn't accept right back into the one single coin return. I don't think I have ever seen anything like what this post has, but then again I don't spend all that much time looking at bar setups. I do occasionally hear really desperate people telling me or someone else about how they scrounge for a living. Quite literally they are walking casino floors looking for coins in trays that people missed and unused credits on machines that people didn't realize they had. These guys are really the low of the low, they practically get orgasms telling us about how one day they found 10 credits on a machine! These people then go into the semantics of should they play these credits and try for some big payoff or just cash them out. The also talk about how they get player tracking cards and just leave them in some machines for hours. The gist of it is that most very-touristy casinos have unsavvy players that never get cards so a well-placed machine could get you hundreds of points! Really pathetic I tell you. If there really are places you can pick up $300 then more power to you. I highly doubt it exists much and if it will be good for long. You might have hit upon the holy grail there too. If it really happened, you probably just got lucky and found a particular machine that is in bad repair and is rejecting a lot of coins. Believe me machines aren't going to reject good money all that often! As for getting prosecuted, I wouldn't worry too much. Since it is a customer's funds, they would have to have the customer sue you or charge you with theft and the casino frankly isn't going to go through the trouble of finding the customer that lost out to you and then give them proof to get you convicted. As long as you behave yourself and don't do illegal things like force the machine to malfunction or start taking coins out of the trays while the customer is there you probably can go on doing this...
