also, a few weeks ago, i hit for $1550 on a nickel WOZ 'over the rainbow' machine at caesars and hit four deuces (playing deuces wild) for $2000 at the borgata. I saw someone a couple of weeks ago hit for 40K on a $10 double double diamond. Time is not on your side in a casino as the longer you play the more you will likely lose. The more you play slots the more chances you have to win a jackpot BUT overall he, you, and all of us will consistently lose more money than we win each year. Someone like Bill is different from the average gambler, as he is a 7 stars player who gambles very frequently. Remember that a slot machine is a negative expectation game where in the long run only the casino will win on it. But overall all machines have been tightened up so that casinos can make more money. Penny machines payback much less than higher denom machines. Part of this problem is the large number of penny machines which replaced older nickel and quarter machines. Gamblers complain not only about not winning like they used to but also how much less play they get from their money now.
For actual holds and payback percentages in each casino look at the DGE website. Most regular gamblers complain about how tight the slots have become in AC.
