HAHA, If I knew how to actually make them win do you think I would work. Some you have a better chance than others.

[fabz]

i wouldnt mind knowing if its possible to make one from scratch or buy one for your own use inside your house?

[daggett]

You can obtain them to have at home, however I cannot say that it is legal though. This can also depend on what state you are in

This is how the pokie machine works but correct me if im rong k. Its set to an amount where it makes for example say the owner or the tech sets it at $5,000 means that it wont pay out much till it reaches that amount of money then it'll give out like $1000 so there for no matter wat the pokie machine always wins no matter wat even when you see people win 3-4 thousand it still won its amount the last few hours. So if you wanna know a way of winning and got patience just stand around drinkk som bear and if you find a machine where som1 is betting pretty high and has lost quite alot. Wait till the person has lost it all if he/she will eva leave, and hop on. 50%/50% youll WIN

Incorrect, machines must pay out somewhere between 87-91% of the total takings within a twelve month period (depending on what state you are in)

Some people may lose their percentage payback and others will get their 87 cents in a dollar back and this other persons 87 cents, etc and just because someone may have lost $1000 on a machine the next person to play won't necessarily get a big chunk of this money

I've seen someone drop $5000 on a machine and for the next few days no one else won anything near that amount as it had paid out well over it's 87% at that time so obviously had to recoup some money to get it back up to the right figures

Having worked in the industry for many years I can debunk nearly every myth about the EGM's, I'm not sure about clubs and pubs that run their own machines as in Victoria only Tabaret and Tattersalls are allowed to own machines and they lease these to clubs and pubs so only Tabaret and Tatts can change the payout percentages but they still need to comply with the payback to player percentage the Office Of Gaming regulations state

Crazyspoon05 is pretty much on the money. Some have better % than others but this doesn't mean your going to win. Some machines tend to have the feature more than others but of course everything comes with a trade off.

My trick on the pokies is play little, The other night i walked in with $4, Put $1 in one machine and won $10, So i thought ok i will go and put my $1 into another machine. Won another $5, On i go again with $1 win a few more dollars. I ended up walking out with over $100. It might not seem much to some but to me its quite a bit. I do it often and il tell you i cant think of one single time i have walked away with less than i went in with. One night i put $2 in a machine and walked away with $258. I only ever put small amounts in multiple machines. And i always set myself a limit. I think the most i have ever put in a machine is $10. Im not saying its the perfect stratergy or anything but it works well for me.

I do think there is a way to cheat though. One night i watched this guy, He put $1 in a machine did something on his fone and got the feature, Moved along a couple of machines and same thing again, $1 in a few buttons on his fone and bam another feature. I watched this guy do it for a few hours and each time he would get the feature. There is no way in hell that someone can be lucky enough to get the feature that many times.

mum won 3800 on the link the other night. too bad its probably no where near what she has put in them in her life time

[Sabby]

to me, pokie machines are just a money eater

i find that 1 dollar scratchies pay out more.
but dont get 10 in a row.

[Stretchomatic]

my mate never plays more then $10 at a time...he wins so much...he makes at least $5 every damn time...i hate him...

I am more interested in how you got into the industry you are in. I didnt think Aristocrat machines were even made in Australia, and tabcorp had their own techs when I was working in gaming. They had it pretty easy and for good money they used to tell me.

[kjparker]

does the sequence they showed on oceans 13 really work? and can you please confirm the sequence?

Aristocrat are an Australian company, the global head office is in NSW and I'm pretty sure they make the majority of the machines over here

In our Victorian Tattersalls network the technician side is contracted out to Bytecraft, did Tabaret have a similiar agreement in place with them at one stage as well ?

BeastVS, can't say I've come across the one dollar in, push some buttons on a phone and get the feature everytime in Victoria but then again depending on if you are a Tatts Pokies or Tabaret venue all your machines are linked to their head office anyway whereas up in your neck of the woods the hotels and clubs control the machines on site so I guess it may be possible

I can confirm that trying to trick the machines into thinking you are putting coins in by trying to confuse the coin mech by using a flashing light does not work though

type "how to hack gambling machines" in google i know someone who had a jackpotter thingo that was the size of a pack of ciggerettes payouts a plenty dont get seen using it or your in the s#%t .but it all comes down too the random number generator computers cannot generate random numbers they generate what they are told there is a noticable pattern my mate allways wins he just knows when they are gonna pay out buy playing a few spins goes na not gonna win on to the next same thing on the next bingo winner hes damn good at poker too must be how his brain works

[VZTHUNDER]

^^ of course none of us here condone cheating in any way shape or form

[Bent_6]

I went to anRSL club in Sydney about 10yrs ago with a guy i worked with, he was a serious gambler and if not on the pokies, he couldn't have a beer without playing Keno.
I hate pokies myself so when we got into the club i told him i wasn't gonna sit infront of pokies all night.
We went and sat in the sports bar area where the keno/tab(or whatever its called over there) is, played a few games of keno and talked.
Not long after he said he needed to use the loo so i waited in the bar, 10mins passed and i thought hes in the pokies so i went looking and sure enough there he was.
When i approached him he told me he had already taken $260 bucks from 2 machines and then bingo he gets another $100+ from the current machine.
I said he must be damn lucky but he said he knew which ones would pay out by the flashing light sequences.
I must admit i thought BS but i kid you not in the following 2hrs he took another couple of hundred from another machine without putting in more than a few bucks.
It was cool to watch him walk around and study the machines but when one caught his eye he won straight away.

I have never seen or heard of anything like it since but i always wondered if it was luck or genuine knowledge.
