Even money on 3 of a kind is correct. It's a top heavy payscale but I'm only making about $500 an hour in action. If I was on my case $1000 I'd take it to this play.
It's just a unique situation that I stumbled onto about 3 and a half years ago. At one time I had a couple dozen of these machines all around Montana. Finding them was like finding a needle in a haystack. When I randomly stumbled onto the first one I said "There has to be more." There are 18,000 machines in Montana spread out amongst 1700 licensed establishments. Each license can have only 20 machines max. But a bar might have only 4 or 5 machines.
This particular game, called Jackpot Aces can be found on about 4000 machines. But the Natural Aces Full meter is supposed to start at either $10, $15, or $20. The ones I found with the meter starting at $100 has to be some kind of glitch or technicians error.
I've literally been in every licensed establishment in Montana looking for the glitch. I only found about 25 machines with the glitch. I had to ask myself "Should I torch it or milk it?"
The problem is these little Mom & Pop joints can't take heavy losses. If I go in and tag them for $3000 or $4000 in a couple of days they are on the phone to the slot route operator yelling "Git the &%(^^*&$$# down here and fix this )*^($##^%#^* machine.
The machines have a couple dozen games on them. Jackpot Aces is not a popular game. Every time I left a machine I wrote down where the meters were at. When I came back to the machine I oould tell if anyone else had been playing the game. Literally no one else was playing it. So I decided the milk run was the best way to handle it.
Average machine only makes about $16,000 a year for the owner. So I let them make their money and I just took a cut. I sandwiched my win between losses of other players. But still, eventually all the glitches got corrected, except this one machine I have left.
