My job is writing software for slot machines and casino systems.

It is not my job.....I am a bum. Just to clarify....this is not what I personally do or did. This was a discussion on reddit that I stumbled up on.

My job for the past many years has involved writing the software that runs casino slot machines and their back end systems (player's club software and most recently server based gaming systems). I have experience not just with the software, but also with the on-site operations of multiple casinos - as I've had to go on-site to fix issues at times.

Ask me anything and I'll try to answer as long as it won't jeopardize my gaming license.
And to head off the first obvious question - there are no back doors in slot machines, so I can't tell you how to win a jackpot.
And the second - this is a new account because I didn't want to post as my main account, it wouldn't take too much to trace it back to my employer.
EDIT: No questions about the inner workings of the casinos?

EDIT: Also open to more general questions about the industry, both manufacturer and casino. Been around for a while and seen a few interesting things.


Interesting thread and discussion some may find it interesting

So, is this your job or was this your job. And isn't this the same name you have always used?

Does the bet size determine paybacks or bignwins? Seems like bet size sonetimes determines of some machines hit more of less.

Change they change payback on the fly without sending a tech to machine?

Do you know much about how a slot like the Titan 360 works? Does it make sense to watch the players, wait for the right moment and swoop in for a big win from the steel ball?

It thought he said in his message that it's not him, it's a discussion on reddit he stumbled upon which I took he was just giving all of us a link to if we wanted to go there and ask questions.

Oh thanks. I guess I just don't know what Reddit is. I'm sure I'm not alone in that. The entire post just seems
confusing to me.

reddit is the wild west and mother of all message boards on all subjects. ;) I don't hang out there but unfortunately my son does, so I occasionally hear about some of discussions and drama. I agree the post was a bit confusing and you weren't the only one confused since we have a couple questions here instead of on reddit. :)
