The Ainsworth must-hit-by-$10,000 progressives will take $50,000 worth of bets to increase the progressive by $100, so keep that in mind while playing. It's nice to play once it gets closer to the max, but as mentioned in this video it is a big risk to chase it and not as easy as you might think without knowing exactly how much money it really takes to get closer to the max.
@@ryanbrandt5404 your comment makes me think that the machines can be set to specific thresholds for increasing. At my local casino, it's $500 per dollar wagered for the Major (at $10,000). I've counted :) I haven't checked the minor though - I usually don't care too much about that one.
I've tried chasing it and found it to be too tough. Got to have a bigger bankroll. A woman did tell me though while I was playing Rhino Rumble that she won the 10 grand recently so it's worth it when you have the money and the number is high.
So it can take $75K of spins for the Major and $25K of spins for the minor to grow by $100. We probably need at least $30K bankroll to guarantee the Major if it’s $100 away with no guarantee that we’ll be ahead when we get the Major. It might be worth the chase when it’s a $100 away to increase your tier. Looks like I have to have my bank branch in Vegas order $30K for withdrawal 1 week prior to my next trip to Vegas, in a rare chance that a Major is at $9,900.
I always wondered how much it would take of course you would have some wins along the way and most times before it goes off I have noticed that I get more line pays or bonuses but… that’s a lot of money to move 100.00
Suggestion: Could you do a top 10 least volatile slots, and maybe a separate video of most volatile? I know it's not cut and dry but I'd love to see your thoughts on this. Great info in this video; thank you!
I’m always learning great info from you 🤠 🎰! Helping us to play as smart as possible for gambling. Me and the wife went to the casino last night with a couple of friends and followed your plan , had hours of fun and came out a little ahead that paid for our drinks 🍹 so that’s a Win in my book 😘 Thank you for being honest with us ,we all appreciate it !
Sneaky slot makers,trying to trick us out of more money! Great that we have you and GSGS to explain things to us so we can be smarter gamblers and maybe come home with extra cash. Great video
🤠 Brantley, thanx for your'e help again. This episode is very informitive to me ! I have been getting caught up in chasing the Buff. Assension, and the Con Trio pigs $lot$. Thanx to my bankroll, I have lasted long enough to win, but yes, sometimes it took too long, but other times I nailed it right away. I only play if I see the arrows up high, or walk by and see someone left those Con Trio pigs real big ! 🐖🐷
I found a Mustang Money 2 game with a $200 minor MHB that was at $197.36. I feed about $200 into the machine. It finally hit at $199.73. I had the excitement of finally hitting a MHB Progressive but didn't really win anything! "Don't Chase"....Good advice
The key on these is to calculate the must hit buys, however you want to low roll these slots to tip the progressive when you are grinding them. For example if its going to 750$ worth of bets to guarantee the hit, bet 50 cents to minimize your losses before you hit. Most slots payback about 90%, however volatility plays a way bigger role when you have fewer spins on big bets. For example if its going to take $750 of bets to guaruntee the progressive if you are betting 50 cents, evem if you run bad you will probably only lose 100 or 200 dollars before popping a $500 progressive. On the other hand if you are max betting $5, you could easily run cold and lose more than the progressive pays out. All things being equal, I'd rather guarantee profit by low rolling than risk getting torched on a big bet.
Great video! I remember playing the fire cracker game years ago, getting stuck in the chase and still not hitting the bonus after depositing most of my sessions bank roll into the machine. It's video's like these that help you realize what you are doing as it is happening in the casino. Some of the best advice you give, set your limits and know when to walk away. Cheers!
Buffalo Ascension has brought me the best luck at the Horseshoe in Westlake, LA., Harrah's Ak Chin in Arizona, and this week on a Carnival cruise where a $1 bet hit a $1200 jackpot. Love this slot! I check often to see how high the reels are, then play the machines with the best advantage. Great content in your video.
I believe most of the Ainsworth games are set to trigger VERY near the top possible number. It is NOT a linear function. Only play these if the meter movement will guarantee you will get to the must hit by number soon enough to cover your investment. You'll probably wind up losing 20% of your bets while playing. So if you find one that is VERY near the top possible value, you should play it, but otherwise avoid them because your chances of hitting it early is effectively zero.
This was a great video. Never understood what advantage play was. I always confused it as the same as skill-based games. Thanks for such an in-depth description. I never knew I was already playing advantage play machines!
Slots don't have skill based games (unless you're playing video poker). You just put in your money, choose your bet, and push the button. The machine does the rest. No skill needed whatsoever.
FY!: As someone older than dirt, I visit my local casino many times throughout the year!! I constantly bring your channel to the attention; too the "OLD FARTS!" Jesus had John The Baptist; us "old farts' whom enjoy casinos have "COWBOY SLOTS!" Bless you My Son!!
Yes, I am so old the geological survey tests moon rocks with my DNA (which is older?)!! lol In all seriousness, I have you thought about dropping a line/email to AARP? "COWBOY SLOTS SENIOR CORNER!""
Kudos: You referred to an individual from Vegas who plays high amounts of bets on YOU TUBE! This gentleman is worth 20 plus million!! $5:15 for a gallon of gas gives me a rash!!
I hear Brantley's voice while I am playing; and my game has gotten so much better. I am choosy about what games I will play. Thank you, Cowboy Slots! 🎉
Tried regal riches a couple times and found exactly what you said. It can take a very long time to hit the "must hit" number. I do still check the machines a few times because every once in a while you will find someone left it with 8+ blue wilds and then I find it's worth it's worth playing until they hit. Also not a fan of the games with multiple different bonuses. Just seems like unless you get a double pop they can be pretty underwhelming as usually two of the three arent very good on their own.
Regarding the "must hit by" progressives, I did not know the next hit by amount is set at the exact second the current progressive is hit. This explains why the progressive is sometimes hit long before the must hit by amount is reached. Theoretically, you could have back-to-back hits, I guess. Thanks for the explanation of advantage slots.
Buffalo Ascension: I only play it if these conditions are met: Reel 2: 1 away. Reel 3: 1 or 2 away. Reel 4: 1 or 2 away. If these conditions are met I will designate an amount to use (typically the 100 spins rule) and only use that. Buffalo Ascension's 1st and 5th reels are only 3 high and never grow; those DRASTICALLY cut down on your line hits to float the gameplay while trying to trigger the bonus features. Buffalo Ascension does have a 'surprise' feature that is exceedingly rare, but will force a reel to the top; I've only had it happen when a reel is 1 away, though. I stop IMMEDIATELY when one of the above conditions fails the check. I also never play expecting the middle reel to hit nor do I chase it.
I don’t usually play Buffalo games. I will try Buffalo Ascension though. I DO play “Must Hit By” games and usually win. Thx Brantley for all your suggestions.
Love buffalo ascension, there are 2 arrows in the middle reel, 1 is for regular super stampede. and the other is for the progressive jackpot, and yes the 'progressive jackpot' is extremely hard to hit, and the progressive arrow only appears when you grow up the reel by regular arrows, so you can enter the 'super stampede with just arrow growth, the ' progressive yellow arrow is hard to hit, not sure what the chance are but it's there, i have gotten a hand pay of $1500 form $1 bet
The Buffalo Ascension game, while fun and enticing, is a difficult game to win at. But it is worth a shot if the reels are high. Worth a $20-$40 chance 👍🍀
The true way to play advantage slots and win every time is to find the ones with the sticky symbols that turn wild on spin 10, Look for dummies who left guaranteed wins just sitting there, you do this by going through all of the denominations, you may have to check multiple machines before finding one, or could find 2 back to back, or none. If you see someone left it after spin 9 with sticky symbols in guaranteed pay positions, you can't lose, they didn't understand how the game works and you get paid guaranteed with one spin, a bit riskier is if you see a guaranteed win but there is more than one spin required, there is still an advantage in some cases with these, but not 100% guaranteed like my first example..
The pigs getting bigger is not important, but the number of games or wild symbols is important. "Rich Little Piggies" is an advantage play. I don't know the cutoff numbers, but the EV for the player rises as the number of games associated with the blue pig goes up.
The blue pig (free spins) can go up to 100 it says in the rules. You need the blue & yellow jackpot to hit at the same time. I got burned chasing it when the jackpot spins hit but not free spins
Alot of people consider Buffalo Diamond an advantage slot based on how the amount of free games build by the bet. Only problem is the games can build indefinitely. However, generally speaking it's a good play when the games are high. Just got to be careful as I've seen people put in 5K+ chasing high games.
Thanks Brantley. I've been making a beeline to the 25 cent Ainsworth games for the past few months. Won the small jackpots several times on a 1.25 bet. Walked into my local last week and surprise, they were gone! Sad!
I have been hearing the term a lot lately and had not idea what it mean. Thank you for this video as always it's very helpful, informative and easy to understand! Hope to meet you one day Brantley thank you for all you do!
The more you tell other people how to find an advantage, the more difficult it will be for you to actually find one yourself (since more and more people will be looking for them). Just something to think about when the topic of advantage play comes up.
The problem with the Buffalo Ascension machine is that there are very aggressive advantage players that scout that machine at my local casino and they literally stand on top of people playing that machine and make sure no one else can play the advantage machines when they exist.
I’ve seen you never press on the button before the spin ends, I tried to stop it before and from time to time its getting me more bonus rounds / features rounds . As you never do that it means it’s not working, but I was wondering if it’s still working
Fast stopping the reels does not affect the outcome of the game. This is listed in the game rules. I have an entire episode that explains how the feature works in the library if you'd like to learn more.
I do like playing regal riches mostly for the entertainment factor, but all you're playing for is the wilds cause the line pays do suck pretty bad. I'm pretty good at stopping myself from falling into the chase trap tho no matter what game it is, that can really drain your bankroll. I caught myself last week doing it until I realized what I was doing and made myself move on. Someone else sat down and started doing it and it didn't pay him either.
I feel so dumb only playing the ones where it looks like it’s going to hit but doesn’t like fireworks and pigs etc. and even recommending those to others. 🤦🏻♂️ thanks for enlightening me
One thing to add about Ascension is that the odds change when the reel grows. So although it may take some time to get the final arrow, there are more pay lines during that time.
I made a mistake not chasing the purple bonus 30 in Rumble rocket. Like you were saying it’s not consistent, but the machine was so hot. The power booster kept hitting back to back and eventually it cleared both the green and blue bonus. Since it was not consistent, I decided not chasing, but some guy did and walked away with $400. Not sure how much he put in but he did get a great deal of bonuses as well. He chases for hours I suppose.
I always do a stroll through before I decide on a slot. The casinos where I’m at, they do this sneaky thing were they have three or four of that devil slot with the big wheel. And it looks like it’s about ready to hit, everything is on fire. But what they don’t tell you is there are two or three groupings of that machine throughout the casino so instead of playing against two other people it’s ten plus people. So you gotta make a walk around and check the jackpots. And check the jackpots of similar games across the casino.
I was playing a three reel gong game with the pot that fills up. The mini jackpot was higher than the minor. I never saw that before...is that common for that to happen?
I would like to know which is a better play on games like Thunder Cash or Enforcer, a 5 line 2X bet multiplier or a 10 line 1X multiplier bet? Both are $10 but what is the expected return from each? Is one better than the other or can you expect about the same return?
I’m well aware of the perceived bonuses like the 3 bag games. And I understand how the Ainsworth games must hit by progressives work, but could you do another video explaining some of the other Advantage play games out there that are better to play?? Thanks.
Class II must hit by $70 I played for a long time when the amount was at $62- it moved SLOWLY at $4 Max bet I’d alternate lower- lowest bet was 40 cents (but I kept getting good line hits that kept me afloat) - it finally hit the $70 when it was at $69.68 ! Then reset to $40 - it was a bit of an experiment I wanted to see through to the end, after all, $62 seemed close to $70 lol- it did put me ahead with the good line hits & Minor
Hello. Love your videos. Keep them coming. Where can I find Thunder Cash, Mustang Money, Mustang Money 2, and Dollar Action in Las Vegas can you please tell me what casinos they're in. I would really appreciate it Thank you
I’ve chased Regal Riches bonuses twice. Hit for $100 more than I put in once. And hit for $600 more than I put in once. However, if I see a machine with 7 or 8 blue wilds on it, I’ll definitely play and then cash out. I’ve ended up with more money on that kind of quick hit in and out.
🤔🤔 Sage adivce I wish I leaned in my younger days… I used to call it chasing the Rabbit.. The game I spent time on was called Totem Pole… Four slot machines stacked upon each other. The fifth dollar was to combine the total of each machine.
What about the games where you can change how many lines you have on top of the 1 times 2 times 3 time buttons whats the best advantage to use with those types of machines
Having seen so many slot “Game Rules” I am convinced you need at minimum a college degree in legal double talk to understand them. But one advantage to reading all the rules carefully is your not spending money for a considerable length of time.
Wow! I did not know that about the fireworks. Also, id like to call top dollar advantage play just cause sometimes the bonus comes up so many times in a row haha
For Buffalo Ascension, if you read the game rules it says the odds of the arrow appearing change depending on the reel height and the prize, so it is definitely not a advantage slot! When the reels are higher they make the arrow harder to hit so the RTP is still the same! And even if you get the feature they rig it so if the reels are high the feature doesn't give you any buffalos. Love seeing the "advantage players" getting their ass kicked at this game after they harassed some poor player off the game.
Great video 👍. Is it true that "rule of thumb",lower graphics design machines are normally lower volatility? Someone mentioned that to me. I actually like wolf run and Noah's ark😁. Payback "per roll" percentage seems to be better than most machines. I go to the casino with my wife and friends because of the restaurant and entertainment, not so much to get rich 😊, although it's nice to leave with at least what I came with. Lunch is normally comped with points 😁👍❤️.
I was having trouble finding a must hit by slot machine last week in Vegas I only looked for machines that said must hit by on the display Do some machines only say must hit by in the rules?
i'd say Buff Ascension type of games (reminded me of Hexbreaker 3 where each col can grow until you 'hit' the top of the col prize...more like a Volatile play slot, not really sure if i'd call it as advantage play...
I call the the slots mentioned potential AP machines" and I personally don't waste my time playing them. Newer machines have replaced these must hit slots. Wheel of Fortune, Golden Jungle, are two of the more popular ones, so much so, that I have seen players virtually waiting behind the person playing, hoping they will leave the machine in an advantage mode. I don't approve of this, but in Vegas, it's become a very competitive horse race. Perhaps you can comment on this on your next video.
I have a question about eagle bucks by ainsworth, can you win the progressive if you don't play all the lines. For example on a 5 line $1 denom if you only played 3 lines can you still win that progressive amount?
I played firecracker one game exactly once. Needed 1 more firecrack on each one ( had no idea about them). Then a person sat down on the other machine, and 1 spin and the firecrackers went roaring all the way to the top on each bunch. And she won a big bonus. So none of those games are for me. Thanks for the info. There are some older hit by games at a casino I go to Laughlin. I have seen the number go to $49.98 for the mini $50. Or the $500 top one go to $499.89. Yet all the locals camp on these 6 machines all day. After many years one gets to know the locals.
1st time I played the Firecracker game, I won by dumb luck thinking that the Firecrackers were ready to pop at any moment so kept increasing the bets then finally hit a Triple Pop bonus (VERY LUCKY) at the max bet at dimes ($49.50?) after ~$1,500 in. I hit a $4,750 jackpot! $3,250 profit. After that, I learned that they are totally random.
Are the odds on a given slot machine version the same irrespective of the casino? For instance, does a Buffalo Gold or Triple Diamond slot in Las Vegas have same odds as in a casino in Kansas? Or can casinos adjust odds on slot machines?
I have had a lot better results with Regal Riches than with Buffalo Ascension. With Regal Riches, I can tell pretty closely what a bonus will pay. With Buffalo there is such a wide range a stampede (or free game bonus) can pay, that there is no way of telling if it is worth playing.
I know class II aren’t real slots but in WA advantage play slots don’t show “must win by” but “win at any bet”, so I was wondering how “scarab” works in a Class II casino?
Well Brantley I can say today for the first time in my life I went to a casino sorta local to me and played double top dollar no bonus and pinball double gold both $1 denomination well pinball was .25 .50 and 1.00 played pinball double gold on a 1.00 denomination 10 max bet got the pinball bonus won 150 had 100 in machine but in the end lost 700 in other machines oh well had fun on pinball
This guy actually knows more than most of the people on RUclips. He used the keyword THINKING! Although math is important there are many other things needed. A growing not fixed mindset, the ability not to mistake good luck for ability, you CANNOT blame bad decisions and poor choices on bad luck instead of taking personal responsibility, you must develop positive relationships with casino employees, learn the gaming laws, understand the psychological tactics casinos employ, understanding the mindset of a typical "gambler", have the ability to adapt and evolve just as the casinos do. And MOST IMPORTANTLY recognize $ for what it is. A tool and NOTHING MORE. Being successful in a casino is NO DIFFERENT than anything else in life, you have to put in the work and effort, fail AND LEARN the lesson it was trying to teach you. SIMPLE RIGHT?
The buffalo games (all versions ) and these ones that are listed are the worst games to lose money on. Don't be fool. There's advantage slots , but you need to know how to play conservatively and when to play aggressively and when to walk when you win! You need to know how to read each machine and each game to know what kind of edge you have to win. And those Progressive For extra bonus or rewards are just Marketing strategy to trick people that they will trigger that bonus and or progressive.
Please do a video showing us where to find the game rules and how to understand them. I have taken your advice, but they seem to hide a lot of the important stuff.
Buffalo Ascension can be very lucrative if you catch it in the right mood. The 3X5 bonus cam be EXTREMELY lucrative as well. I believe it is a advantage slot IF the reels are almost all the way up. DON'T play if the reels are at 1084 ways!!
For the Ainsworth advantage slots, is the value that is randomly picked weighted in any way or just completely random? In other words, is there a higher chance of the machine picking $9844 versus $9044?

Alot of people consider Buffalo Diamond an advantage slot based on how the amount of free games build by the bet. Only problem is the games can build indefinitely. However, generally speaking it's a good play when the games are high. Just got to be careful as I've seen people put in 5K+ chasing high games.
Very informative video, thank you! I've gotten caught up chasing the expanding "piggies" - I will try your method next time!
Thanks Brantley. I've been making a beeline to the 25 cent Ainsworth games for the past few months. Won the small jackpots several times on a 1.25 bet. Walked into my local last week and surprise, they were gone! Sad!
Excellent info. You saved me big money
Thanks Brantley that was great info 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I'll stick with low volatility slots. And that Tabasco slot in the background really caught my attention! Thanks for the info.
Thanks so much for the break downs!
I have been hearing the term a lot lately and had not idea what it mean. Thank you for this video as always it's very helpful, informative and easy to understand! Hope to meet you one day Brantley thank you for all you do!
That really helped me dude, thanx so much ! 🤠 🎰
THANKS ! Always wondered about how those pay off.
The more you tell other people how to find an advantage, the more difficult it will be for you to actually find one yourself (since more and more people will be looking for them). Just something to think about when the topic of advantage play comes up.
He makes more money on you tube telling us then he would walking around finding them. ❤
The problem with the Buffalo Ascension machine is that there are very aggressive advantage players that scout that machine at my local casino and they literally stand on top of people playing that machine and make sure no one else can play the advantage machines when they exist.
I’ve seen you never press on the button before the spin ends, I tried to stop it before and from time to time its getting me more bonus rounds / features rounds . As you never do that it means it’s not working, but I was wondering if it’s still working
Fast stopping the reels does not affect the outcome of the game. This is listed in the game rules. I have an entire episode that explains how the feature works in the library if you'd like to learn more.
@@CowboySlots thanks 🙏
I won a handpay $1440 on this game on a cruise ship. Good to know just how lucky I was.
What game? He goes over many
I do like playing regal riches mostly for the entertainment factor, but all you're playing for is the wilds cause the line pays do suck pretty bad. I'm pretty good at stopping myself from falling into the chase trap tho no matter what game it is, that can really drain your bankroll. I caught myself last week doing it until I realized what I was doing and made myself move on. Someone else sat down and started doing it and it didn't pay him either.
Hi Brantley. Great informative video. Will power surges in a casino do anything to the programming of the machines? Keep up the great work. Thank you
Just saw your RUclips short on Buffalo Ascension and here I am. Great content 👍🏻
I appreciate the support. Glad you found your way here.
I feel so dumb only playing the ones where it looks like it’s going to hit but doesn’t like fireworks and pigs etc. and even recommending those to others. 🤦🏻♂️ thanks for enlightening me
One thing to add about Ascension is that the odds change when the reel grows. So although it may take some time to get the final arrow, there are more pay lines during that time.
I made a mistake not chasing the purple bonus 30 in Rumble rocket. Like you were saying it’s not consistent, but the machine was so hot. The power booster kept hitting back to back and eventually it cleared both the green and blue bonus. Since it was not consistent, I decided not chasing, but some guy did and walked away with $400. Not sure how much he put in but he did get a great deal of bonuses as well. He chases for hours I suppose.
I always do a stroll through before I decide on a slot. The casinos where I’m at, they do this sneaky thing were they have three or four of that devil slot with the big wheel. And it looks like it’s about ready to hit, everything is on fire. But what they don’t tell you is there are two or three groupings of that machine throughout the casino so instead of playing against two other people it’s ten plus people. So you gotta make a walk around and check the jackpots. And check the jackpots of similar games across the casino.
I really enjoy Scarab slots! Thanks for the slot educational journey!!
I was playing a three reel gong game with the pot that fills up. The mini jackpot was higher than the minor. I never saw that before...is that common for that to happen?
Great explanation of these Brantley!
Excellent explanations. Thank you.
Very informative! Thank you!
Love it! Thanks guys!!
I would like to know which is a better play on games like Thunder Cash or Enforcer, a 5 line 2X bet multiplier or a 10 line 1X multiplier bet? Both are $10 but what is the expected return from each? Is one better than the other or can you expect about the same return?
I’m well aware of the perceived bonuses like the 3 bag games. And I understand how the Ainsworth games must hit by progressives work, but could you do another video explaining some of the other Advantage play games out there that are better to play?? Thanks.
In my humble opinion, there is no 'advantage' in playing any slot with the word 'Buffalo' in its title.
@@TheCyberadam26 damn right
Class II must hit by $70 I played for a long time when the amount was at $62- it moved SLOWLY at $4 Max bet I’d alternate lower- lowest bet was 40 cents (but I kept getting good line hits that kept me afloat) - it finally hit the $70 when it was at $69.68 ! Then reset to $40 - it was a bit of an experiment I wanted to see through to the end, after all, $62 seemed close to $70 lol- it did put me ahead with the good line hits & Minor
Nice line up on that beard Cowboy! Razor sharp!
Do you have any thoughts on Big prize Bubble gum slot machine?
Hello. Love your videos. Keep them coming. Where can I find Thunder Cash, Mustang Money, Mustang Money 2, and Dollar Action in Las Vegas can you please tell me what casinos they're in.
I would really appreciate it Thank you
I’ve chased Regal Riches bonuses twice. Hit for $100 more than I put in once. And hit for $600 more than I put in once. However, if I see a machine with 7 or 8 blue wilds on it, I’ll definitely play and then cash out. I’ve ended up with more money on that kind of quick hit in and out.
Excellent topic and presentation
🤔🤔 Sage adivce I wish I leaned in my younger days… I used to call it chasing the Rabbit.. The game I spent time on was called Totem Pole… Four slot machines stacked upon each other. The fifth dollar was to combine the total of each machine.
What about the games where you can change how many lines you have on top of the 1 times 2 times 3 time buttons whats the best advantage to use with those types of machines
Just watched the Ainsworth 5 new and will you line these from best paying to worst paying I have my chip and bracelet thanks
Thank you for this video, great information!
Are the payouts when buying a bonus less of a return to player versus getting a bonus naturally?
Having seen so many slot “Game Rules” I am convinced you need at minimum a college degree in legal double talk to understand them. But one advantage to reading all the rules carefully is your not spending money for a considerable length of time.
Thanks for this video. I learned a lot from it.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic video!!!
Wow! I did not know that about the fireworks. Also, id like to call top dollar advantage play just cause sometimes the bonus comes up so many times in a row haha
What about Konami “ must hit by” progressive? Is it the same?
For Buffalo Ascension, if you read the game rules it says the odds of the arrow appearing change depending on the reel height and the prize, so it is definitely not a advantage slot! When the reels are higher they make the arrow harder to hit so the RTP is still the same! And even if you get the feature they rig it so if the reels are high the feature doesn't give you any buffalos. Love seeing the "advantage players" getting their ass kicked at this game after they harassed some poor player off the game.
If you play it with 7 blocks 3900 ways or more you will 100 percent profit in the long run
Great video 👍.
Is it true that "rule of thumb",lower graphics design machines are normally lower volatility? Someone mentioned that to me.
I actually like wolf run and Noah's ark😁. Payback "per roll" percentage seems to be better than most machines.
I go to the casino with my wife and friends because of the restaurant and entertainment, not so much to get rich 😊, although it's nice to leave with at least what I came with. Lunch is normally comped with points 😁👍❤️.
You should review the U1 machines from Dottys? It’s would probably end up being a few viseos
Thanx for this video❤
Awesome video, thank you
I was having trouble finding a must hit by slot machine last week in Vegas I only looked for machines that said must hit by on the display Do some machines only say must hit by in the rules?
i'd say Buff Ascension type of games (reminded me of Hexbreaker 3 where each col can grow until you 'hit' the top of the col prize...more like a Volatile play slot, not really sure if i'd call it as advantage play...
Great information like always.
I call the the slots mentioned potential AP machines" and I personally don't waste my time playing them. Newer machines have replaced these must hit slots. Wheel of Fortune, Golden Jungle, are two of the more popular ones, so much so, that I have seen players virtually waiting behind the person playing, hoping they will leave the machine in an advantage mode. I don't approve of this, but in Vegas, it's become a very competitive horse race. Perhaps you can comment on this on your next video.
I have a question about eagle bucks by ainsworth, can you win the progressive if you don't play all the lines. For example on a 5 line $1 denom if you only played 3 lines can you still win that progressive amount?
Yes you can. Any bet qualifies
@@JeffGiles-ob2dw yes any bet moves the meter. Lower bets just take way longer
I played firecracker one game exactly once. Needed 1 more firecrack on each one ( had no idea about them). Then a person sat down on the other machine, and 1 spin and the firecrackers went roaring all the way to the top on each bunch. And she won a big bonus. So none of those games are for me. Thanks for the info. There are some older hit by games at a casino I go to Laughlin. I have seen the number go to $49.98 for the mini $50. Or the $500 top one go to $499.89. Yet all the locals camp on these 6 machines all day. After many years one gets to know the locals.
1st time I played the Firecracker game, I won by dumb luck thinking that the Firecrackers were ready to pop at any moment so kept increasing the bets then finally hit a Triple Pop bonus (VERY LUCKY) at the max bet at dimes ($49.50?) after ~$1,500 in. I hit a $4,750 jackpot! $3,250 profit. After that, I learned that they are totally random.
Are the odds on a given slot machine version the same irrespective of the casino? For instance, does a Buffalo Gold or Triple Diamond slot in Las Vegas have same odds as in a casino in Kansas? Or can casinos adjust odds on slot machines?
Each casino can set the payout percentage to different numbers, within a range established by their respective state gaming commission.
I have had a lot better results with Regal Riches than with Buffalo Ascension. With Regal Riches, I can tell pretty closely what a bonus will pay. With Buffalo there is such a wide range a stampede (or free game bonus) can pay, that there is no way of telling if it is worth playing.
I know class II aren’t real slots but in WA advantage play slots don’t show “must win by” but “win at any bet”, so I was wondering how “scarab” works in a Class II casino?
I haven’t seen Scarab in a class 2 configuration
@@CowboySlots Looks and operates just like a Class III, just like how does a bingo slot know to award exactly what is in a progressive on that slot?
Can u still hit that advantage payout if u r betting the lowest amount
I'm trying to find the video on 5 lowest and 5 highest volitilty?
Well Brantley I can say today for the first time in my life I went to a casino sorta local to me and played double top dollar no bonus and pinball double gold both $1 denomination well pinball was .25 .50 and 1.00 played pinball double gold on a 1.00 denomination 10 max bet got the pinball bonus won 150 had 100 in machine but in the end lost 700 in other machines oh well had fun on pinball
Buffalo link is a significant advantage game also.
Is there a certain number of spins you need to complete for the full game experience?
No
This guy actually knows more than most of the people on RUclips. He used the keyword THINKING! Although math is important there are many other things needed. A growing not fixed mindset, the ability not to mistake good luck for ability, you CANNOT blame bad decisions and poor choices on bad luck instead of taking personal responsibility, you must develop positive relationships with casino employees, learn the gaming laws, understand the psychological tactics casinos employ, understanding the mindset of a typical "gambler", have the ability to adapt and evolve just as the casinos do. And MOST IMPORTANTLY recognize $ for what it is. A tool and NOTHING MORE. Being successful in a casino is NO DIFFERENT than anything else in life, you have to put in the work and effort, fail AND LEARN the lesson it was trying to teach you. SIMPLE RIGHT?
Thank you
I'm going back to my Triple Double Diamond. Had so many more hand pays. Than playing the links machines.
Thanks cowboy, lesson learn this episode, don't chase 😅.
The buffalo games (all versions ) and these ones that are listed are the worst games to lose money on. Don't be fool. There's advantage slots , but you need to know how to play conservatively and when to play aggressively and when to walk when you win! You need to know how to read each machine and each game to know what kind of edge you have to win. And those Progressive For extra bonus or rewards are just Marketing strategy to trick people that they will trigger that bonus and or progressive.
Please do a video showing us where to find the game rules and how to understand them. I have taken your advice, but they seem to hide a lot of the important stuff.
Some advantage....
I love the 'Buffalo' slots....but Ascension is my least favorite. The first gen. slot or Gold is the best.
Can you tell me the online slots that you can win real money are those good?
Buffalo Gold is my worst slot game. Hard to get the bonus.
Buffalo Ascension can be very lucrative if you catch it in the right mood. The 3X5 bonus cam be EXTREMELY lucrative as well. I believe it is a advantage slot IF the reels are almost all the way up. DON'T play if the reels are at 1084 ways!!
For the Ainsworth advantage slots, is the value that is randomly picked weighted in any way or just completely random? In other words, is there a higher chance of the machine picking $9844 versus $9044?
It’s random and not weighted at all.
