Some "hustlers" call these con-artists "creators". I reported a pair at the Flamingo to security in late 2009 before I realized that people did this for a living. It was the third time I had seen this scam.
When I was last in Vegas in 2010, there ~10 main "creators" who worked the Ultimate X circuit. If you fill up a 25c/50c/$1 machine with high multipliers on every screen (say 4X average), that's 72 hands/denomination ($270 for 25c, $540 for 50c, $1,080 for $1...$1,890 for 1 machine). Very +ev con. Even if you can fill the machine with 2X avg, it's $630/full-machine.
I heard from friends in 2011 & 2012, that the heat on "wonging" Ultimate X had become very bad because the "creator" situation had gotten much worse due to the availability of good advantage Slots severely dropping over the past decade.
