My favorite Jackie Gaughan story. The El Cortez used to have dozens of full pay Deuces Wild and Joker Poker games in dollar, fifty cents and quarter denominations that returned over 100%. He had all the machines slowed down to the slowest speed to discourage pros from playing them. One of the machines was sped up and Jackie wanted to find out who did it. He wanted to give Lie Detector tests to all floor people and techs who had access to the machines to try to find out who sped up the machine. Jackie patrolled his casino like a hawk. He was always aware what was going on. This was back in the eighties when Jackie was in his sixties and still a very sharp casino operator.
