Can You Really Trick a Slot Machine


When we go to a casino, we surely want to win as much as possible. Basically, a slot machine is a computer, not a human. Is it possible to cheat an artificial brain of a computer?



Devices used to trick a slot machine
A yo-yo coin
A player takes a coin and ties it to a string. To fool the slot machine, you just pull it back once you have inserted it. Of course new machines are designed to prevent this trick.
Shaved coins
Sometimes the machine takes fake coins for real ones if you are lucky. Then you will be able to play without paying.
Programming the machine
This method is only possible if the machine hasn’t left the factory yet. Than the player can program the machine to pay out when entering a certain button combination.

Shine bright like a diamond

It is possible to cheat the sensors by shining laser light into the slot. It makes the machine pay out big sums of coins. However, in most modern machines winnings are printed out, so this method is inefficient.
Hacking the machine
The wave of new casino tricking is so new that no one is ready for it. It is simply hacking the slot machine on the spot. You just have to really be a professional. There are special devices which can predict the response of a slot machine by communicating with a server. The devices look like mobile phones. First they record the machine and after a while return to play it.

Modern slot machines

Modern slot machines are very hard to trick as now they are programmed by computers. Every year new methods of cheating are invented but manufacturers are also becoming smarter and invent protection against all existing cheating mechanisms.
