Can a casino tighten up or loosen a particular slot machine. Without going into much detail, slot machines are programmed a certain way with certain odds,. Speaking of Reno, two casinos there have consistently featured some of the country’s loosest odds. Today, the Atlantis and Peppermill properties are booming, while many others in the area (including some large corporate properties) have struggled. It is not a coincidence that most of them have tighter slots. Let’s consider the two individual slot machines described in the Spilde/Lucas article: one at 8.01 percent hold and one at 5.91 percent hold. I’ve learned over the years that performance measurements are seldom pure, in that each factor (actual win, theo win, coin-in and handle pulls) can dramatically affect the other.
