Nothing wrong with it, just saying these games can't be beat.

Well, just like the guy who told you the world was flat, you would be wrong.

The "Rythmn Method" For Beating The Old Mechanical One Armed Bandits. (That's right! Beat the Slot Machines!)

The old slot machines used to have a little spinning clock like gizmo in them to start locking the reels. Usually you could find a machine that was very consistent in the amount of time it would run until it locked (generally in the 19-21 second range).

You would pull the handle until you got a cherry in the first reel. Then pull the handle all the way, right to the limit where it would release the spring to spin the reels, and wait exactly 21 seconds. Blam! pull the handle the last inch of the way, and the reels would spin, but the machine would immediately lock the first reel -- leaving the cherry in the first slot. Instant 2-1 winner! Bonus for randomly getting the second cherry or the "jackpot" -- cherry, cherry, bar. Winner every time!

These machines were so worked over in Atlantic City, that many slot machine players were barred -- and then went on to form schools to teach this secret method to others. The slot machine makers quickly countered with more elabrate mechanical randomizing mechanisms, and the search for the old machines was on! Of course, soon after, electro-mechanical machines were introduced, and then the completely computer controlled, and then with the computers came --- the mini-progressive jackpots! Yeeeehaawww! Beatable slot machine situations once again. 49 firecrackers left on a BOOM! machine, 8 diamonds left on a Diamond Mine, the slot fleas flocked to the unbeatlable one-armed bandits (some that didn't have any arms anymore) once again.

But keep insisting that the world is not flat, the great majority of the time --- you are absolutely right. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
