Archived websites which are usually initiated by humans... this one was the result of looking up all of the websites bally used to own before they transitioned or were bought out by their parent companies. Ballet has had like 6 different websites throughout their lifetime and I went through all of them til I found these. I was mainly looking for old handbooks of the shufflers and just so happened to find these

With video poker and keno, you've got the paytable right there in front of you telling you everything you need to know. With slots, a par sheet will also tell you what makes it tick. There are often different versions of slots and you can't tell the difference just by looking at its pretty face. Looking at the par sheet, you are looking into its soul.

'Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.

I'm confused with this question. I can't imagine you can't see the value Ipart sheets..

It's very valuable depending on the situation and what you do with that information.

Probably no value to a regular gambler.

That's some good sleuthing!!

Thanks for this. I had found only a handful before this. The most valuable bit of a PAR sheet - to my mind - is the volatility index. This is going to give you the RTP range at 10,000 spins, but you can use this data to find the RTP range at 100 spins - a more typical scenario. Once you've calc'd that, you'll understand why certain machines are feast or famine, whilst others trickle out crumbs.

Good work!

Not much value on today's video reels and maybe a little value if someone wants to do some work mapping regular reels and doesn't get the boot for it.. Every machine has 4-8 par sheets. The casino chooses which one they want to use. Nothing on the machine will tell you what it's programmed to. Could be a 93% payback, could be an 85% payback.

Why do casinos boot you for that? I have my answer im just curious their reasoning.

perhaps not ON the machines.

I can just imagine some might not have any clue what was going on. There's definitely no rule against it, but if it got someone's attention, I could see it happening.

There was at least 3 of each of the IGT PAR sheets i found so that makes sense

I have seen people tracking video keno and VP. It's obvious they have no clue how the machines work and they have some crazy theories. No amount of personal tracking with a pen and paper will help them, I imagine they do the same on slots. Casinos would be better off just ignoring anyone tracking most stuff. If someone was serious about tracking and they were actually on to something and worried about getting the boot they would probably just use a hidden camera or their phone in secret video recording mode.
