This jackpot is often listed in an LED marquee to make it look like it's a progressive jackpot, but it's really just a fixed jackpot being advertised with a marquee. The baskets are nearly worthless. In thousands of Flip-It hands, I hit a basket maybe three times, each time the lowest-payout basket. As further proof, in the six weeks I was in Vegas, nobody hit a point basket at the Four Queens dollar machine to get a reel spin. I know this because for the entire six weeks, the reels were stuck on the exact same combination.
And that was a losing combination to boot, that paid out zero coins for its bonus round. The machines entice you to play the sides by putting the higher-point baskets on the sides. Don't fall for it. You won't hit the baskets, and your coins going to the sides of the machine won't get returned to you when they spill.
Note that although I believe baskets to be nearly worthless, you're more likely to hit them on quarter machines than on dollar machines, because the quarters are lighter and flip up higher. Blackjack players can move beyond their basic strategy and count cards, giving them an advantage over the house. Flip-It players can likewise move beyond their basic strategy and count coins, so the odds are in their favor.
The concept is simple: Play only when the machine is primed holding more coins than average , so that coins are more likely to spill than stack. I believe this works only with the Flip-It games where you don't have much of a choice as to where your coin drops.
On the games where you can choose to drop your coin onto a naked area of the tray, presumably most players will do so, so the coins won't stack very high. But in Flip-It games where your coin is flipped by spinners onto the trays, many of those coins are going to stack on top of other coins. It's the imbalance of high stacks which you'll be hunting.
I tested my theory by playing a trial of coins over several days, playing only when I thought the machine was primed, and I wound up ahead 9 coins. This is a 1.
Blackjack is still more profitable, obviously, because you can bet more than a dollar at a time, and because profitable decks occur more frequently than profitable Flip-It shelves. Had I played more conservatively playing only when the machine looked extra good , I'm confident that I could have achieved greater than a But the return is not the ultimate indicator of how much money you make. What you ultimately walk away with is a function of your advantage multiplied by your action how much money you put into the machine.
To count a machine accurately, you must first know how many coins deep that machine gravitates towards, which I'll refer to as the machine's "level". You could find this out by playing the machine for minutes, or you could back-count the machine by simply watching someone else play.
Count only coins in the middle, not on the sides:. Every space and level where the stack is less than the level. For example, if this is a 3-deep machine, and there's a spot that's only 2 levels deep, there's one coin missing, so that's If there's a spot that's only one level deep, then that's Count every deficient spot this way. Every half-coin space and level where there's about a half-coin hole. The coins are not pressed together snugly, and you can see straight through to the shelf.
When this happens and gap is about the size of half a coin in square inches, count -1 for each level. Let's say you have a 3-level machine with four half-coin gaps. Every space and level where the stack is greater than the level.
Add these all up and you have a rough idea of your advantage, or lack thereof. When you have a positive count, play the machine. If the machine is negative, don't play. If the machine is positive, and you play, and you win, count the machine again.
If it's still positive, you can continue playing. Unlike blackjack, the pit bosses don't care if you back-count and Wong in when the count gets high, but you can't Wong in whenever you like, since only one person can play the machine at a time.
You'll just have to hope that the person playing the machine before you leaves when you want them to. I had an interesting experience at the Four Queens. I had been playing the machine for a while, and had relinquished it to a young woman who was watching me and was eager to play. I waited for her to finish, and then she turned the machine over to me in about the same condition as I'd left it. She continued to watch me although she was ostensibly done playing.
Soon I had a major hit for a bunch of coins, which instantly made the machine seriously negative. But as she jealously watched me get that big hit, she asked anxiously, "Can I play now? This forces the player to have to synchronize his movements with the movements of the machine.
The one way to beat the game is to time the drop effectively. Before even placing a coin inside the machine, observe it closely for a while.
Wait until the moving arm is farthest away from the prize container or hole. At the very second when it is farthest away, begin counting seconds and stop at the point where the arm and the bucket meet. This will happen quickly, so you must count quickly and be as accurate as possible. Repeat this at least two times to obtain the most accurate reading.
When you play your coin or token, remember the number of seconds that you calculated. A good player never lets the hammer raise higher than the moles head. I get two large prizes daily from this one each time I go. I have seen a similar game at several county fairs I have visited where you have to pitch a dime in glasses to win. These are the only ones I play because I win consistenly on these. I never play that one where you have to throw those red rings around the neck of the soda bottles or that one where you have to stand the soda bottle up using a fishing rod.
I have never seen anyone win at these two. Has anyone ever won at these? Posted August 7, at AM I have seen someone win on the ring around the soda bottle thing. They bought a whole bucket of rings and only one once so I guess it was just luck. Aim for the top of the square at the basketball games.
The best method for things like the ring toss is to try and throw with as little spin as possible. Milk bottle throwers aim for the very bottom of the stack and throw hard. Most of the other games like the plate break and throwing games are all about touch and accuracy I particularly enjoy the plate break, probably just because you break something.
That's about all I have. I don't play too many of them anymore, partially because I don't really want to carry around a 6 foot stuffed animal or a ball, and partially because I just have a hard time paying 5 bucks to shoot a ball three times or throw a small bucket of rings.
I do still enjoy skeeball or hanging in the arcade and beating up on the kids at a fighting game or helping them through a co-op shooter.
I can make a few quarters last a lot longer there. From Anthony Murphy Posted August 7, at AM Pick games that give you the best odds of winning like the ball throw over the muffin tins to try to get it on a colored circle.
That was very useful information. I may even try the ladder climb now after reading that. Also, be sure to run your thumb across the point of the dart to make sure it's sharp. We had SO many stuffed animals, she decided after about a week to donate them to the children's hospital for the sick kids who might enjoy a toy but I told her about the germ factor that they may not take them but she did anyway, I never heard whether they took them or not.
I eventually gave my away too. From Master Phan Le Posted May 6, at AM Everyone is giving you insiders of how to beat these games when it is simple as what you've learned in school.
What, did all the lessons you've learned regarding physics have been lost somewhere? If not, its easy to simply beat these games. But, it may be luck a small percentage of the times, but its more than likely that you will win with proper physics.
They always have these games that are supported with all of these large stuff animals. But to win some of these, ask me and I will tell you how to beat them. My most favorite is the quarter toss on a plate.
At Paramount Kings Dominion the quarter toss game is as follows; you have to land a quarter on the plate and you win the stuff animal, place twice on it you win the largest stuff animal. It actually stands 8ft tall, which I've just won 5x there.
