    Hey all! I am looking for tips on what to do when you visit a casino. Should you just play 1 game and leave? I did that at Lucky7 and I think the owner was surprized that I wanted to leave after I got the jackpot and won 3x my bet on my first game. Was the "jackpot first time" just luck or was it carefully planned so that the person would feel lucky playing another game and then lose alot of money at the end. I walked out of the casino with 1k earned. I always bet minimal and only do very few games. (Probably just 1). I know one time at a casino i earned 2k and then i lost 2k.

    So.. what do you think?

    Turn around and leave! The chance that you will get another jackpot is verty unlikely

    Uh, casino's are for fun, in my mind there just there for a good time. Just don't spend what you can't spare, you'll probably win a few jackpots, but Idk if it would be enough for profit. Though I can tell you, Lucky 7 doesn't scam, it's run by a mod. (Blackjack is also a really fun games at casinos, in case you were wondering.)

    Well, I personally haven't played any games there yet, but it sounds like a 30% chance of maybe getting your money back

    Idk. I have a feeling that most casinos lure people in by letting the person get the jackpot on the first game. (What i mean for "letting" is for example putting the jackpot in the dropper first so that the person gets lured in thinking that he/she will get more. What i did was take advantage of that and then leave. I think i just came up with casino logic.

    No, it's luck. I went to a casino and spent 10k never won anything. A casinos is for gambling, but they haven't sunken so low that they actually cheat

    I came up with the math:

    I think droppers are random:

    (Oh also... I just won another jackpot on the first game... there's deffinately something fishy going on here)

    Math: (I am counting the 2 games)

    If there is only 1 stack of jackpot in the dropper, the here is the math: 1/9*1/9=1/81.... (1.2%) not very likely

    If there are 2 stacks of jackpot in the machine, here is the math: 2/9*2/9=4/81.... (4%) a little more likely.. but still far from likely

    If there are 3 stacks of jackpot in the machine, here is the math: 3/9*3/9=1/9..... (11.1%) thats also not exacly likely

    If there are 4 stacks of jackpot in the machine, here is the math: 4/9*4/9=16/81....... (19.7%) That's almost like 20% or 1/5

    Im just going to stop there because there needs to be at least 1 slot for the other items. It's not going to be that likely to get jackpot. But seriously.. I went out tonight and just got another jackpot. Something is going on I think.

    Its all luck man but I will tell you this, you gotta be careful with where you play. Ive heard plenty of stories of rigged casino games and corrupt dealers. This isnt meant to scare you away from casino's, im just saying to be careful. A way to stay clear of this is to go to reputable places like lucky7. If you see somebody advertising a casino and you tp there and there is only 1-2 games and looks like ot was built in 2 minutes, id stay away from those kind of places. Anyway so yea just be careful and look for reputable places such as lucky 7 and you will be fine :thumbsup:. Good luck and remember to never spend more than u cant afford. Go in with a set amount you want to spend and if you go lower than that, then its time to leave

    The strategy is to play only one or two games, and make away with what you have. Because you have the odds stacked against you (virtually all casino games favor the house, or they wouldn't be profitable), only play a couple games. The law of large numbers basically says that in this case, the more games you play, the closer the winning percentage will get to the mean. Because casino games favor the house, you don't want the winning percentage to go towards the mean, because that means (no pun intended) that you are losing money. So play a couple games and quit while you're ahead, or cut your losses if you're behind.

    Or you could, y'know, just not go to casinos.

    It's not a necro if the reply was still relevant to the original post...
    Just cause a long time has past since the maker posted it doesn't mean it's automatically a necro...
