Has noone on here mentioned Shackleford's recommendation on Gambling With an Edge of betting "No Safety" for about -1000 when the true odds are 19-1? I nearly put $1300 on it but balked at the crappy -1300 odds at Caesar's Palace. Then just got off the plane to see how much money I saved! I figured a fair number of people on this board lost their shirt.
Btw, I think Super Bowls in Indy must be gaffed. Safeties happen at a much larger rate than would be predicted. :)

Right. Is that still up?

I don't think Terrible's is doing point multipliers on Sundays anymore from
my mailers and casino signage.

Yes, Fitz does 5X days for holidays. But you are right it is not well
advertised. My mailer says 5X points all St Pat's weekend, it is for all
customers.
---I don't see this anywhere on their website. Could you share he exact
dates so I can post it please?
Thank you.

Most of those sites look like the typical obfuscation, and the more they
try to dance around the basic details, the more they are trying to hide.

Larry,
I just did a search using "Video gaming machines in New York State" and "Video table games in New York State". The first had a link explaining video poker the second a link about table games. I haven't finished reading both articles but it may brighten up my dull brain as to how these machines fit into a lotto based system. The lotto web site has all 5000 VGM's lumped together which leads me to believe everything is somehow programmed to a scratch-off ticket.

I agree, but as a first pass assuming the symbols are equally weighted and there is no correlation between reels seems like a reasonable assumption. It should be true in video poker and I think it is in a fair number of other slots, like jackpot party. To check for unequal symbol weighting and correlation between reels would require a larger sample set, but we're talking thousands or tens of thousands, not millions. In video poker the reels have 52 symbols but repeats are excluded (that would be one correlation that should never happen, if it does time to snap a pic and call gaming) so the possible correlations between any two reels are 52x51-2652. Here's an experiment: make up a deck of 4 Aces, 1 King and 1 Queen, then forget what the composition is. Start drawing one card and then reshuffle and repeat, recording your results. How many samples do you need before you begin to think there are multiple aces in the deck? How many samples do you need to begin to make a reasonable guess at how many extra aces are in the deck?
AAAKQAAKAAAQA...
