The only casino I ever encountered where the card reader wouldn't revert back to "insert card" when I pulled the slot card was the Wendover Nugget. If you pulled your card in the middle of a video poker hand the card reader clearly showed that your card was still engaged. It wouldn't clear until you finished your hand. I recently heard of a system where, if you pulled your card, the card reader wouldn't disengage until all the credits were played off, even if someone else inserted there card and put money in the machne.
With the above systems it's easy to tell that you can't cover up a win. But what about the systems where the reader reverts back to "insert card" or whatever? Pulling the card always worked for me. But I haven't used a slot card in 4 1/2 years. So I have no idea if or how much more technologically advanced the players club systems are today.
There was a trick I tried to play on the boothlings a few times by saying something like "Gee, I was really drunk yesterday. Could you tell me if I won or lost?" In every case their response was "I don't have access to that information." I figured I'd have to deal with a superviser so I gave up on that technique. I don't know. Maybe I should have tried it in a few more places. You might be able to weasel the information out of your slot host.
I do know this. I never got a win/loss statement that was even remotely accurate to what my real bottom line was in that casino. I looked like the biggest sucker loser on the planet.
