WOW you are missing a bunch of good poll options on this(fail)

I'll help you out a little.

Will it be much less likely they make a 3rd mistake since I have been laying out exactly why and how they are making mistakes along with the aproximate player advantage?

Revel (math)
Plaza

Just a little reminder since...
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat (or something like that.)

p.s. Just giving you a hard time since, well , I know this is what you do. It seems to me you have actually been way more thoughtful of AP'S for a long while now.

You may recall from the thread on Ocean Magic that advantage players took online casinos for almost a million dollars because the Ocean Magic game started in the same advantage game state for every player in every casino and every bet denomination. You would think a million dollar loss would cause someone to figure out why Ocean Magic was getting killed. A simple Internet search would have easily taken them to the Ocean Magic thread here or this article.

I thought Atlantic City casinos were supposed to be struggling, but perhaps a million dollars is just a drop in the bucket and didn't make anybody's radar. Whatever the case, the same group of advantage players hit another game with the exact same flaw, Golden Egypt. Here is a full article about it, DÉJÀ VU: ADVANTAGE PLAYER CRACKS ONLINE CASINOS AGAIN, THIS TIME FOR OVER $500K.

Golden Egypt is a popular game here in Las Vegas. Now that the cat is out of the bag on that advantage play, I think I'll explain in which of the 32 coin configurations it is a positive play. It is definitely vulnerable to vultures anywhere.

The question for now is there a third game out there with the same kind of variable state flaw or will the casinos figure out what went wrong this time? The whole thing reminds me of this quote...

Fair point. I would argue that the Golden Egypt play is well known already through word of mouth.

Here are some results for Golden Egypt. Before I get into them, let me explain the humdinger of the game. Each reel has slots for two coins, or something that looks like a coin to me. If a coin symbols appears on a reel, it will float up to a slot for that reel. If both slots for a reel are filled with coins, then the next two spins will be fully wild on that reel and the two coins removed from the slots. However, the player still has to make a bet for that spin. So, if the previous player abandoned enough coins on the reels, it can have a player advantage until the game is back to a negative state. Here is a video of someone playing it.

Direct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3R2tgy33Xs

That said, my initial results so far show that if there are at least two coins in reels 1 to 4, then you should play. Reel 5 doesn't figure into the decision. I should say that someone on the Golden Egypt Atlantic City Team feels my advantage numbers are too small.

Here they are for all 32 coin configurations. A 1 means there is already a coin and a 0 not. The value column shows the value, measured in bets, of finding a game in that state. If it's blank, then the value is negative. This is based on a hypothetical 94% game, which I know is a rosy assumption. The spins column shows the average number of times you'll play to get that value out of the game. So, the value should not be misinterpreted as a player advantage per spin.

I like the binary breakdown.

Occasionally someone will leave with the wild activated, and there will be one or two spins with wilds coming on subsequent spins. I would assume it's a good play with a wild column in reels 1-3 and not a good play in reel 5, but not sure about the 4th reel.

Here are some results for an 86% game. As to the wilds, I recommend playing with any already wild reel. In looking at it more carefully, if you have reel 5 wild only and no coins, then don't play. However, it is marginal to complicate the strategy rules for both coins and wilds.

That said, for an 86% game, I recommend playing with at least two wilds in the first three reels.

I had pretty good results with 10010, 01010, 00110 at a loose casino. 23-37% (for 96% game) seems VERY low.
10100, 01100, 11000 at Vegas seems *barely* above even (EV = $0.50/dollar-denomination; e.g. a play at $3 is EV=$1.50). 73-86% (for 86% game) seems low.

If both col 4 & col 5 are wild I play, but didn't keep stats.

For what it's worth, probably not much, 4 and 5 wild together always seemed like a play to me, but states like 1001 and similar never seemed even tempting.

I'm still surprised Wiz has 4+5 as not a play. A low value natural 3 of a kind doesn't seem *that* rare.

I appreciate the comments. As a reminder, I had to make up the reel stripping for this game. My advice works for my game. I tried to make it close to the actual game, but without the actual reel stripping, I can only estimate.

Meanwhile, I stand by my advice of playing 2 out of the first 3 reels.

from your chart, it seems only 2 coins in the 1st 3 columns is -EV.
you need 3 coins, with 2 in the 1st 3 columns .

incidentally, what's the win per session for 10011, 01011 and 00111?

Maybe I didn't make myself clear, but my advice is to play only with at least two coins in the first three reels from the left. Profit/loss figures would be misleading otherwise, because the player shouldn't play in the first place. I would need some sort of play ending event, which is currently NOT having at least 2 coins in the first three reels.

The 0.75 means that taking over a game with coins in reels 2 and 3 is worth 75% of a bet. It is not a return on investment, but a bonus, shall we say.

Your point about actual wins and losses are well taken. As I wrote before, I could be wrong. Let me chew on it.

Interesting thread, and thanks to Wizard for posting these numbers - a couple of observations...

Having run thousands of spins via the freeplay emulator at Casumo previously, I also suspected 2/4/5 was slightly positive although naturally it's very dependent on the target percentage of the machine in the particular location, and given that a decent percentage of the payout is reliant on bonuses and the odd huge win, it would be variance heavy.

However, if you need to increase playing volume (and who doesn't) then it's good to know that at least it's viable. The problem with this game in general is that the +EV scenarios tend to manifest themselves more at lower stakes, meaning that generating considerable volume (which of course -> expected profit) isn't easy. Even if you see a recreational player walk away from a decent setup, it's pretty likely your turnover on that unit will be below $50 and hence your expected profit isn't anything remotely spectacular. I guess if you see a unit on 2/4/5 on a higher stake, then the $EV could actually be higher than a better setup on a lower stake, etc...

My other thought focuses on reel 5. In my own research I can only really remember one major scenario which developed and significantly benefited from reel 5 also being wild. I'm pretty surprised that there's a considerable difference in the EV between 2/4 and 2/4/5 and also between 1/4 and 1/4/5.

Logically reel 5 should be very valuable in conjunction with other reels.

In your own examples if 1/4 improves on 1 then 1/4/5 will automatically increase the payout further by 25% (or whatever the average difference between 5oak and 4oak) over 1/4, excluding redundancies where the natural 5th reel symbol would have made 5oak anyway.

My concern with the high limit machines is the possibility that the RTP is significantly lower on these as Mickey Crimm suggested somewhere.

When machines are tight (e.g. Vegas), I recommend AT LEAST THREE COINS (two coins in the first three reels).
1-1-0-0-1
1-0-1-0-1
0-1-1-0-1
or better

If machines are super-loose, I recommend two coins in the first FOUR reels.
1-0-0-1-0
0-1-0-1-0
0-0-1-1-0
or better

A small nit, but in the external link section you twice refer to the game as "Golden Magic".

Also, in the recent "Bullfight" entry, rule #10 has eight rank errors.

Have you tried 22 tonight? I said 22.

Thank you for the corrections.

You talked about a different issue with this same game. And most people did understand and just wanted you to stop talking about it in public.

You do not understand, we wanted it to produce a resonance. Since we had a long time to explain with the manufacturer IGT. But as I see there (in IGT) are idiots who having learned about the problem for a long time, did not fix it.

I think many gamblers to make money on it, so this is a happy end : )

Oh, for dissatisfied, for the professional gamblers who think that the casino owes them, they are simply greedy and stupid people, which besides the casinos don�t know anything, these are parasites of society, and they have a distorted psyche

I remembered Dobrij's post. They install them now with only one coin on reel 3, before was 1,3,5. Maybe that's how they start different payback returns. I have experience seeing 1,3,5s then the 3s put in and later the 135s out.

Yes, this was also what Exoter (or whatever his name was) was going on about when he was claiming to be making hundreds of thousands a month or whatever. I think there was also a discussion about this and Drich confirmed some aspects of it being changed because of AP's.

So are APs angry that other people figured it out?

I think most of us just want IGT to keep doing what they do.

Because I represent the casino in this situation, and we had a court with the players and the commission on the gambling business. We had to pay damages

I have no idea how much one could have made if they few to every location where they were first installing seeded games. I guess it would depend on the denominations and how many others showed up to do the same. I don't even know how juiced up the machine were when they started. I am not angry since I rarely play them.

The internet sucks for some AP's because all of the spoon fed information easily given out. Books were bad enough, however, one had to know something good was going on and then know what books to look for. Then they would actually have go get the books. IIRC it was Card player magazine that also helped kill lots of good stuff like Flush Attack. Knowing what I know now, i'm surprised the Flush Attack actually lasted as long as it did. When I quit my Job to pursue that, I had no clue what to expect. I just took leap of faith, perhaps I just assumed it would last forever. Nowadays, something like that would not last for long because it would get flooded with nothing but hustlers.

Ah, a darksider.

And admits they lost in court and had to pay damages

Let me guess you tried to swindle the players by refusing to honor the money they won?

Yes, I looked at the martingale secret : ))

We paid damages from the manufacturer of the machines and not the players. In this business of the absurd and bureaucracy enough. Wonder how the other operators will solve the problems, who suffered losses with this games...
