Slot machines in Washington
Can anyone give more insight into this? Is this still the case? How can they have all these name brand slot machines like Buffalo? Are they specially programmed in reverse so they see a lottery result then come up with some spin to show that?
Can this be advantage played? If you see a group of people losing a lot should you sit down on the last machine in the group, having better odds than you would otherwise since eventually the “winning numbers” need to come?
That's about it.
Quote: DRichThe way they used to work was like a raffle. Picture a mechanical drum with 5000 tickets in it. 75% of the tickets are losers, one ticket is a jackpot. The rest of the tickets are small winners. Every time you play the slot machine a ticket is drawn from the drum. Whatever that tickets says is what you win. The slot machine then displays an outcome matching what your ticket said.
That's about it.

This can be demonstrated on "Video Poker" machines by the fact that you can be dealt a full house, throw it away, and draw another full house. Or in lieu thereof, hit the bonus match card and win a bonus equal to a full house.

Yes it can. I programmed video poker machines like that for the state of New York.
If there was just one drum and the players could see when the drum is refilled and when it is almost empty, then the OP's question is in play. You can game the system if you know the drum is nearly empty and is rich in big winners.Quote: DRichQuote: DeucekiesQuote: DRichThe way they used to work was like a raffle.

In real life, I expect that many virtual drums are in play for different machines and denominations. There is no way to know what drum is feeding results to any particular group of machines unless you are an insider. I assume that there are countermeasures to prevent insiders from gaming the system. If that is the case, outsiders probably have no chance to game the system just by observing machines in play.
I've no clue why that's there or whether any helpful info can be deduced from it.
I thought Bingo is different from the lottery in VLTs. Bingo and VLTs can be treated differently in gambling compacts.Quote: MrVI note that some casinos, e.g.the Choctaw tribal one in Oklahoma IIRC, use this class of machine and their slots show what appears to be a bingo card layout toward the top, with numbers that change every bet.

If you see a bingo card, then you are playing bingo for all legal purposes. The Bingo is just mapped onto a slot game for entertainment purposes. Your result is determined by a bingo game. Even video poker can be mapped onto a bingo outcome through clever algorithms.
No bingo card? You are probably playing a VLT game. Different sections of the gambling laws apply to your game.

Maybe around 6-9 months ago the first E table game showed up it was roulette, its bingo.

I’m not sure I buy the logic of “play by yourself so you can find the winning sub batch and keep it all to yourself”… since sub batches aren’t really the whole batch in my mind it’s useless to talk about anything not related to the whole batch, which sounds like it could be absolutely astronomical. Just because you see a bunch of winners in a sub batch does not give you any information on if it’s a “winning” or losing sub batch since they don’t have to follow any particular distribution, just all of them together have to.
This sort of makes me think advantage play might not be possible, especially if one “batch” is so large that it’s the entire casino’s slot machine pulls for the whole day.
This does however mean each pull of the handle is NOT a truly independent event, so like if you win a jackpot you know for certain you won’t hit another one that day (or are at least much less likely!)
And I hate typing.

This is mind boggling. I was looking through the help screens earlier and noticed it mentioned the play was determined by bingo.
But how on earth do they manage to do that? There's a physical ball involved. The ball is sent spinning like on a regular roulette table and goes FAST! That's some incredible math it would take to predetermine the result and then lunch the ball exactly so it bounces around and ends up in the right pocket.

So does ETG roulette in WA behave the same as normal roulette, or is there some Class II trickery going on there too? I've been playing it for a few months, and my results seem no different than a normal table. I've preferred ETG to live roulette because the comps tend to be better.

Some of the bingo slot games are very interesting.
Some of the bingo slot games are enjoyable.
There are usually separate Help/Rules screens for the Entertainment Display - the reels/lines/symbols - and the Bingo Game. If you didn't get to "Bingo Rules", you probably have no idea what is going on.
I have had AP's tell me they can't find an edge at Class II.
I have had other players tell me they make their living from Class II.
I think it's safe to say that there's a lot going on, and there is some nontrivial analysis required.

I sat down put twenty in it, put bets out and then pulled them back before the timer ran out.
I started to think about it and my mind instantly boggled, luckily friends were barking at me
to go so I left before I suffered any brain damage.
I'm seeing/saw many IGT slots in washing that don't have any noticeable bingo mechanism. I haven't done the proper research on whether they are class 3, but the vultures seem to play those machines the same way you would a class 3 machine. Is there a mix of class 2 and 3 machines?Quote: rainmanI only posted it because its a pretty clear explanation about the types of games WA. has and how they work.

I pretty much have the same question, I guess I just assumed class 3 was class 3 and they were all the same I didn't realize there were different classes of class 3. Or do they somehow behave exactly like an RNG even though they're considered scratch tickets?Quote: TheguyoverthereSeems like a contradiction but what that video said was class 3 games powered by scratch tickets exist, and all games in Washington behave this way… I thought class 3 by definition meant independent events?

ive been trying to define this ever since ive been here... but fully random to me does not necessarily mean its not a scratch ticket... fully random i think in this case means that the "drum of tickets" are dynamically refilled whereas the class two has a limited amount of tickets
but im waiting for the correct response as well
or maybe we should go back to the indian definition... class 2 is bingo or SOCIAL games... class 3 is anything that isnt bingo or "banked" games
edit
yeah i think the issue here is that we all define in our own minds that all casino games can be classified as CLASS whatever... but thats just how INDIAN casinos classify their games... not how EVERYONE or every jurisdiction defines their games outside of indian casinos
Oddly enough, I've seen multiple Advantage players pass on decent 100% lost rebates solely because it was a class two joint. That's a big head-scratcher to me, I must assume it has somewhere near the same value as playing a class 3. I can think of almost no realistic scenarios where playing a Los rebate on Class 2 is -EV. I guess if somebody's stupid enough to play one penny at a time until their funds are completely gone and now they have to run the rebate free play on negative EV Games.

That means the casino is taking more risk than if they fill the drum with a certain value of tickets and sell them all.

I will try to get a video of the game in action. But yeah, that's a real wheel, a real ball and I really don't believe there's any bingo involved in the selection of the number. Maybe the bingo simply decides WHEN to fire the ball and how fast, rather then directly deciding the number.
Also, maybe just to call out the obvious: whether the roulette is bingo or not doesn't really impact the outcome. The mapping from Bingo to Roulette is either completely fair (i.e. same distribution and probabilities as real roulette) or unfair. If it's unfair that would make it very voulnerable. This is a multiplayer game, so it's not like they can just artificially change the RTP and create more player losses like they can with bingo based video poker.

I'd like to get a look at a few spins, but I'm in no mood to go track down a property this is placed at to watch it for a while.
The manufacturer website seems to make the Class II equipment look very very similar to the Nevada style equipment.

im not really caring about if its fair... but IF IT IS mapped to an outcome then they know how to get that ball into a specific cup. Thats all im worried about. Once that is confirmed then I can hopefully scour some patents for exactly how they direct that ball into a specific hole.
owner briefly speaks about their new market (class II ETGs) at 3:55
quick edit and thought - the ball lands and then that number it lands on picks a random bingo card outcome... possibly
1. Are all the games at a place like tulalip run by a drum of scratch tickets, even games that claim are class 3 and look and act like regular games like Buffalo?
2. If they are, how do the games reverse engineer payouts? Is there a table that looks up a win value and chooses a pre determined bonus sequence or reel stops?
3. Can this be used in an advantage way? Is there something even as simple as “avoid playing if multiple people in the casino just hit a bunch of jackpots”?
Thanks!

and of course there are some niche wheels that function a bit differently but these wheels are what i call the standard ETG wheels and how they work
https://www.cammegh.com/our-products/roulette-wheels/slingshot-2/
Quote:Perfect for integration with 3rd party betting terminals or online installation, the Slingshot 2 automatic roulette wheel uses air jets to launch and retrieve the ball, keeping it in view at all times to uphold player confidence. This elegant, GLI-approved innovation allows for random ball speeds in both directions and Cammegh’s unique RRS system adds a further layer of security by randomising the speed of the rotor.
For added flexibility, the Slingshot 2 is available in two variants. The standard model is mounted on top of a floor-standing frame, which houses the air compressor and is designed to fit inside an outer drum or 3rd party betting terminal carousel.
For installation on a standard roulette table or within a quieter environment, Cammegh provide the Slingshot 2 TT (table top), which shares the principle design of its floor-standing sibling, with the option of a push-button launch, and allows the air compressor to be housed up to 20 metres away.

I actually got heat I think because I was looking goofy. So the slot guy was super cool and I directly engaged
him about how it works he was knowledgeable but couldn't explain what appears to be an un gaffed wheel
paying me on a single spin red/black wager under bingo conditions. You can cycle a menu and pick a bingo card
from I think three options after placing a bet. You can also just place your bet not pick and continue the game
maybe it default picks for you.
Slot guy actually called the head slot suit to see if she could help explain it but she was having difficulty
understanding the finer points of what we were talking about. I wish I could post the whole 20min video
So you guys could see me charm & disarm them they actually said they would look into it and try and get
an answer for me if I would come back we know how that ends though.
Hurdles:
Video needs editing I would need to find free software never done it before.
Need to upload never uploaded a video it would probably be easiest to send it to someone
to post if I get it edited also at this point unsure of video quality it was a shirt pocket operation
so no wide format.

Pretty much every bingo based slot machine has this requirement to have at least 2 players playing in the "bingo" game. I don't know exactly how this is implemented but it's very rarely an issue even if you go to the casino Wednesday at 5 am.
You can compare multiple machines and see that often times, adjacent machines of the same "type" are pulling the same bingo numbers. I haven't checked, but I wouldn't be surprised if many machines across the floor are also pulling the same numbers.
Btw, when the bingo machines say you are playing against other players (and that's why you need at least 2 people), that doesn't generally mean that other people must lose for you to win. Form my observations and theorizing, the "competitive" game seems less consequential (sometimes I think it just determines when the bingo game "ends" and in other cases I think it decides who (if anyone) wins 1 cent), as the actual prize payout is determined by the pattern you achieve on your board.
As for selecting a board, there are generally 2 ways bingo machines work:
1) Each machine has a bingo board - you can click and randomly get a new one. Until you do, you keep the same board for every spin. Each bing game (which runs every ~1-2 seconds) will have new numbers drawn. If you look at the machine next to you, and you click spin at roughly the same time, you will notice that 1 machine will have a slightly longer delay before it stops the reels. I.e. if you click spin half a second apart, both machines will still stop the wheels at the same time, with the same numbers drawn.
2) Each machine get a new RANDOM bingo board with every game. The numbers draw between games are the same, except every 1-5 seconds, an additional number is added to the "fixed" numbers drawn. Once 70 (or some other number, depends on the game) have been drawn, the next batch of ~30 numbers are drawn, and more numbers to this new fixed batch are added every few seconds again. In this version, 2 machines do not need to wait for "the next round". As soon as you spin, you get a new board and it plays with the known numbers. If you play fast, you get multiple games with exactly the same set of known numbers drawn. but since you get a random board with every game, it doesn't really matter.
it would still be just like somone bought multiple bingo cards and whatever numbers they pick they are actually banking on that single card winning
although ive never programmed a casino game or a bingo game so yeah
What about the physical wheel? Bingo games including this one always state
all visuals are for entertainment only is the wheel gaffed? From limited observation
it is indistinguishable from any other legit wheel.
If the wheel isn't gaffed How would it work?
I sat down bet red wheel spins ball lands red I get paid 1-1 where's the bingo?
Rainman, any chance you got still photos of the Bingo Rules screens? (We can probably hold off on the paytable mappings - whether or not something seems quite interesting)
Sample Even card
| 2 | 18 | 30 | 10 | 7 |
| 24 | 34 | 6 | 26 | 14 |
| 27 | 32 | 11 | 22 | 9 |
| 16 | 4 | 20 | 33 | 8 |
| 36 | 12 | 25 | 38 | 28 |
Sample odd card
| 1 | 17 | 29 | 9 | 6 |
| 23 | 33 | 5 | 25 | 13 |
| 26 | 31 | 10 | 21 | 8 |
| 15 | 3 | 19 | 32 | 7 |
| 35 | 11 | 24 | 37 | 27 |
The winning 1 ball patterns correspond to to just the odd or even spaces.
You are just buying cards with various single ball winning patterns.
I was unable to find the actual bingo board or anything else related to Bingo on this machine, other than this help text. On ordinary slot machines that are bingo based, you are usually able to find the bingo board played, but I could not find it in this case.

Quote: TheguyoverthereI’ll try and remember to ask about this when the live AMA happens but if I don’t, I’d love to know the answers from the Wizard since I think he lives in Washington? Specifically the questions:
1. Are all the games at a place like tulalip run by a drum of scratch tickets, even games that claim are class 3 and look and act like regular games like Buffalo?
2. If they are, how do the games reverse engineer payouts? Is there a table that looks up a win value and chooses a pre determined bonus sequence or reel stops?
3. Can this be used in an advantage way? Is there something even as simple as “avoid playing if multiple people in the casino just hit a bunch of jackpots”?
Thanks!

Going back to slot machines running on the tribal lottery system (not bingo), does anyone know the answers to any of these questions? And I’ll add a fourth… What *is* a class 3 game?

Class 3 machines are truly random like you would find in Vegas or Atlantic City. The outcome is not based on anything other than the RNG

That’s what I thought but I’ve seen things (like in that professor slots video) saying that the class 3 games in Washington use a scratch ticket method, which would appear to be a contradiction

How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?
At this point, I generally view Class II/Class III as a tax category distinction, where Class II revenue is shared at one rate, and Class III revenue is shared at another.
(Yes, there is more to it.)
Class III gaming requires a compact (treaty) between the tribe and the state government. These are usually public record, and fascinating (or soporific) to read, depending on your mood and inclination.

Well as of this point we should all be focusing on Washington and their definitions
https://wsgc.wa.gov/tribal-gaming
Quote:Tribal Gaming
In the fall of 1988, President Reagan signed into law the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA). This confirmed the rights of tribes to conduct gaming on Indian lands and required states and tribes to enter into a compact (contract) for certain types of gaming. IGRA also created three classes of Indian gaming and provided for a different regulatory framework for each class.
Class III (Nevada-style) gaming includes activities such as lotteries, casino games, house-banked card games, horse racing, pari-mutuel wagering, off-track betting, keno, machine gaming, and sports wagering. Tribal-state Class III gaming compacts between each tribe and the state outline: the style of gaming allowed, standards of operation, criminal and civil jurisdiction, state regulation fees and remedies for breach of compact.
Class II gaming includes bingo, pull-tabs, punch boards, tip jars and other games similar to bingo. Card games that are not banked by the house are considered Class II. Regulation of these games is within tribal jurisdiction, subject to oversight by the National Indian Gaming Commission.
Traditional or ceremonial Class I gaming remains within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Indian tribes. These are social games played solely for prizes of minimal value or traditional forms of Indian gaming connected to tribal ceremonies or celebrations.

As per the Washington Compact;
Class III Gaming means all forms of gaming as defined in 25 U.S.C. Section 2703 (8)
https://wsgc.wa.gov/sites/default/files/public/tribal/Compacts/Tulalip%28A%29/A-1991%20Compact.pdf
The term "class III Gaming" means all forms of gaming that are not class I gaming or class II gaming.

Long story short, Washington has no class III Slots, Bingo and Scratch only. Scratch being a VLT (Video Lottery Terminal)
However, Table games fall under Class III so Washington has class II and class III Gaming.
