- WELL FED: put another way, is when a pokies dynamic payout ratio strays too far from its programmed payout percentage, for too long. There will always follow a re-balancing, whether its a long slow comeback in small wins, or a quick large payout. Pokies are designed like this, in fact most forms of gambling can be approached in similar manner – watch and wait for extremes, and pounce on the.
Clearly the players are not the big winners so who are? The answer is the gaming operators (Pubs, Clubs, Casinos) and the biggest winner of them all is the government who collect billions every year as gambling taxes - a much bigger prize.

Keyboard You can use the mouse to click on cards to hold, or you may find it easier to use the keyboard: [1-5] = Hold/Cancel [Space] or [Enter] = Deal/Draw [T] = Trainer on/warn/off Trainer When the trainer is turned on, it lists the best plays and their average expected wins on the left. The CHANGE CARDS button allows you to explore the best play returns for hands that you enter. Yellow dots on the corners of the cards show the best cards to hold. The statistics on the right show your playing time, speed of play, the theoretical payback percentage of the game with perfect play, the projected payback percentage with your plays, and the cost of errors. Warn Mode You won't learn as much if you leave the trainer on all the time and just copy its answers, so we recommend playing with the trainer in WARN mode. In WARN mode, the trainer will only come on if you make a mistake, showing you the better play and giving you a chance to change your answer. However, the statistics on the right will still reflect your first answer, so you can see how you're doing without the trainer's help. | View Log Whether the trainer is on or not, the game keeps track of your statistics and a log of your play, which you can review by clicking VIEW LOG. If you were playing in WARN mode, the log reflects your first answer. The log shows the cards that were dealt, the best play, your play, and the cost of any errors you made. You can learn a lot by playing with the trainer off, then reviewing the log to see what you missed. 2x Pay To make things more fun, the game defaults to 2X PAY mode, so you get twice as many credits when you win. The trainer stats ignore the extra credits and record your wins as if they were the normal amount. If you prefer to play the traditional way, click on 2X PAY to switch to the standard 1X PAY. Paytable Edit Other paytable variations can be entered by clicking the numbers in the 1st or 5th columns of the paytable and using the up/down arrows to adjust the pays. The total payout is limited to 109.9%, so you may need to lower a payline before you can raise another. Be aware that the trainer adapts its best play recommendations to changes you make to the paytable. For example, if you raise the royal flush value, the trainer will adjust its recommendations in favor of cards that shoot for the royal more often. |

Slot machines have been providing thrills to the punters for many decades. From penny slots right up to the big ones. As well as paying out some eye-watering jackpots over the years there have also been a few scandals of note.
Tommy Glenn Carmichael
Tommy Glenn Carmichael isn’t a name that rolls off your tongue. It is, however, a name that will send shivers down the spine of any casino exec who knows their industry history. Carmichael spent nearly 20 years using all kinds of technical wizardry to cheat casinos by interfering with their slot machines.
One invention was called the slider or monkey’s paw and used to fit up the machine’s payout chute. Inside was a microswitch that would trigger the jackpot payout.
Eventually, technology improved, but so did Carmichael’s ingenuity. The next ‘James Bond’ style invention was known as the light wand. Made from a camera battery and a small light bulb, the wand was able to ‘blind’ the slot machine’s sensor and coins would be spat out.
After thousands of dollars were being won every day Carmichael eventually fell foul of an FBI investigation and spent almost a year behind bars. It is not clear how much of his millions he had to pay back if anything.
Elmer Sherwin
In this crazy story Elmer Sherwin proved that lightning can strike twice in the same spot. At the Mirage Casino, Las Vegas, Sherwin hit the jackpot on a Megabucks slot machine for a massive $4.6 million in 1989.
Enough to retire on wouldn’t you say.
Amazingly, 16 years later, Sherwin was playing slots again at the Cannery Casino in Las Vegas and won a record breaking sum of $21.1 million. Not only that, but at the age of 90 he was almost certainly breaking a record there too as one of the biggest winners of all-time...

Ron Harris
Nearly 30 years ago, a software engineer called Ron Harris was tasked with writing anti-cheating code for the slot machines of Las Vegas - what could go wrong there, you might ask yourself…
Poker Slot Machine
The temptation to construct almost the perfect crime was too much to bear and Harris secretly coded a payout switch in some machines. When coins were inserted in a specific order it would trigger a huge jackpot.
In the end more than 30 machines were rigged and hundreds of thousands of dollars went missing through the actions of Harris’s accomplices.
The game was up when one of the accomplices was caught trying to rig a game of Keno and owned up to the whole scam. Four counts of slot cheating led to a seven year prison sentence, which probably put Tommy Glenn Carmichael off from trying any more of his shenanigans.
Louis 'The Coin' Colavecchio
The most obvious cheating method for slot machines is, of course, fake coins. Without knowing the exact metallic mix of legal tender it’s almost impossible to produce the identical size and weight.
That said, ‘The Coin’ clearly knew that he didn’t need to be so precise and fabricated enough slots coins to leave over 750lbs worth sat in his car when he was eventually caught.
Colavecchio won thousands of dollars in the casinos of Las Vegas without ever putting his hand into his own pocket. Finally the law caught up with him in the gambling Mecca of Atlantic City, New Jersey.
In 1997 the scammer was sentenced to 27 months in a federal prison, which apparently didn’t teach him enough of a lesson. Just before Christmas 2018 the 77-year-old was picked up by the secret service for producing 2400 fake $100 bills and sentenced to another 15 months behind bars.
John Kane
John Kane is the one who got away. The American video poker fan walked away with more than half a million dollars after discovering a software glitch in a popular model used across the US.
After playing the same machine type for a long time, Kane noticed a glitch whereby punters could replay the exact same hand runout that was just played. All he had to do was wait until he hit the jackpot and then repeatedly cash in.
The clever trick in all this was that different wager sizes can be used on these machines. So all Kane did was to blast away betting just a single cent each time. When the jackpot came up he could immediately switch to the maximum bet size of $10 with a $10,000 prize.

As you would imagine, the casino bosses didn’t take too long to realise that something was amiss. Kane along with Andre Nestor, a friend he let into his little scheme, were arrested and sent to trial.
Incredibly, the federal prosecutors were unable to convince a jury that the pair had broken any laws. The charges of hacking and conspiracy were thrown out and they were set free.
Their attorney said:
'All these guys did is simply push a sequence of buttons that they were legally entitled to push.'
