Colon, Panama (Both near the Colon mega mall)

1) Fantastic casino


Entrance is actually around the corner. There's a security guard in front.
small Slots only casino.
Picked clean.
Played something speculative and got some amazing line hits @ $2.50/spin. $900 profit.
Played the same type slot next to it hoping to hit lightning twice. Nope. maxxed bet and Cashed out at $280 with $180 profit.

Panama has 5.5% redemption tax!!! :(


So i assume if i put in $1000 then decided not to play and cashed the voucher at the cage, i only get $945 even tho i didn't play.


2) Radisson Crown Codere casino (Codere is a casino chain)


Bigger casino with like 6 table games, 3 of which were BJ.

Picked clean as well but got lucky with someone leaving and his machine was +ev.
Unlike the previous casino, this one did not give me a receipt. They just gave me the $ minus the 5.5%.

Hard to make a profit with 5.5% redemption fee

Take revenge. Get wiped out and avoid their nasty redemption fee.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

hm.. Maybe the 5.5% redemption fee is for tourists and not for locals?
Else why would both casinos be picked clean?

You need to find machines with over +5.5% ev to overcome that fee. And finding a machine in that state is usually hard with even brain dead ploppies seeing those high #s and playing it.
