Alleged Slot Machine Scam Uncovered in Missouri


ST. CHARLES, Missouri – As reported by KSDK-TV (St. Louis): “St. Charles County authorities are dealing with a case they call a first of its kind for them -- a gambler who has found a unique way to maximize his odds against a casino's number one money-maker: the slot machine.

”Sunday night, a 40-year-old New York resident named Wei Jian Xie was arrested on board the Ameristar Casino in St. Charles (a suburb of St. Louis). He was allegedly observed using an altered token to play the dollar slot machines.

”Xie had reportedly shaved the token in such a way as to cause the slot machine to reject it, but not before allowing a credit. Normally, an altered token or coin would simply pass through the machine. Investigators say with this sophisticated slug, he could play a slot machine repeatedly without a loss.

”…Xie was booked on one felony count of cheating on gambling. But prosecutors say they may have a tough time making a case. Xie, who doesn't speak any English, posted bond and was released…”

don't try using one of those in nevada, you'd be better off shooting someone there than be caught cheating in a casino.

I'd still like to hear about the real pro slots players. I checked the archives here but couldn't find anything, but I swear I recall an article about this.

The bonus machines came out 5yrs ago,squares play and leave before bonus is achieved,pros finish off incomplete bonuse,with hundrends of new Indian casinos opening there is plenty of opportunity,its more of a job than a gamble,you make 20 an hour on a busy weekend,10 000 a month on a grand opening of a new casino.there are crews of people doing it all over Usa.Its pretty boring,but its a job.

Sodas are for losers.There is a 2nd hand smoke issue with the casinos,the slot money is guaranteed,go to any SanDiego casino and look at a x-factor machine you will see 4-6 hustlers.they sit behind housewives and bluehairs and get the easy money.

Railbird, can you exaplain what a bonus machine is? All slots look the same to me.

Are the casinos doing anything to stop the pro's?

railbird, i wish you had not mention the blue factor!!!! if you don't think their connect to the internet your wrong. it WAS a good moneymaker. rule #1 don't tell all what you know.

[Railbird]

hip2,

Your absolutely right,my apologies.not that Dragon is ungrateful,but in the long run 95% of the squares are.

[Dragon]

I just find the subject fascinating. I don't intend to try it. Just like to hear about guys making a living at something other than the norm.

[hiptwo]

railbird, was just kidding about telling what you know. BUT it does work if you have the time. iam no way a young man but some of them old girl's can sit longer than i can drink. maybe i should drink wheatgrass, can you really get that over the bar? when i go on the boats i play bj. and if the cards are wrong i check the slots and the old girls out.
