Be Canadian (or British) and claim the taxes back. Though that may have changed since I last looked.

The hard part will be sending $1 in payment over international boundaries.

He is betting that the jackpot will hit in the next 1827 days (5 years including 2 leap days?)
You are betting that it won't.
A $1 bet that takes 5 years to resolve... this is worse than roulette.

I'm not going to lay anything just to win $1, so that bet is the best I could do...
Okay, maybe not, I think my advantage on that is about 7%, but what are you going to do?

Okay,
I'll take the YES on it hitting within the next 1,702 days, Even Money. My advantage on the bet, assuming Wizard's numbers are correct (limited sample) and that spins/day remains consistent is a hair over 2%. For $1, of course.

What's with the days? Have you been reading up on Astronomy? ;)
Ok. In solar years, that's 4.66 years (365.25 days per year, rounded a bit). Now 0.66 of 12 is 7.92 months. 0.92 of a month would be the next step.

How much odds that Peyton manning goes to play the machine but gets intercepted by the legion of doom and Richard sherman shows a visual of wrangling his neck, then I run in while this is going on and I hit it first spin, no safety?

Can we say it's already a fact the winner keeps the machine since it's already been promised by so many employees as part of the jackpot? I just can't get over this from the article mentioning no official determination. Is it already a gaming violation and would it also be if the winner doesn't keep it without demand.

You obviously didn't watch the whole video closely. The "Now you try" was a joke/slash trying to get you involved in the video. If you do bother to tape the game, be careful though. The most recent video the guy put up, he was yelled at by security.

It was the questions of that reporter that got me interested in the game. I'm unhappy that after about three conversations we had about the game the only mention of me was calling the game fishy. I think he got that from this post. However, it is always good to get mentioned in the WSJ.

If you want to play it be prepared to wait. There are typically a half a dozen people waiting in line, day and night. I dropped by several times on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and the shortest line was 3 deep at 3:00AM Friday morning. It would have been fun, but there is no way in hell I am waiting in line to play a slot.

Maybe MGM should find 3 or more old machines and put a bank of machines back in. I was going to stop by on my trip in May if it hadn't hit by then (and I never play slots), but I won't sit and wait to play either.
