A College Metaphor

During my Slots IQ Zoom meeting the other night, Julie told us, “I think one of the things I’ve learned the most through your classes is: Learn the casino. Learn your strategies, have a semi-plan, and then learn about the casino, as it’s comprehensive and different from everything I’ve learned. I’ve learned now that I need to study a casino to figure out which strategy works.”

You don’t have to figure out how to learn your casino. I can and will help you with that. However, to accomplish it, you must genuinely want it.

As I told my daughter before she went off to college, “There are three things about going to college. First, here’s how it all works. Second, there is the cost of paying for it. And third, there’s doing it. And I will help you with the first two, but the third one is on you.”

So, I’ll explain the basics of learning your casino well, and then you can go do it, like starting college. Next, I’ll explain it in more detail, such as finishing college. And then I’ll explain how to learn your casino well, just as you would in a graduate school program for a master’s degree.

College is my metaphor, and I’m sticking to it. 🙂

The Basics of Know Your Casino

The basics are about the casino’s physical layout. Deliberation and intent go into designing casinos, so checking it out will help you understand your casino’s intentions toward you as a slot machine player. How do you do this?

It’s simple. Start from your favorite slot machine, which I hope you’ve won on occasionally, and stand there, but look around. Where are you in the casino? What do you see?

In what direction is the main entrance? Second entrance? Café or food court?

Maybe you can’t see any of those landmarks from your favorite machine. So, go for a walk. Go to find the main entrance, the secondary entrance, or the entrance from the parking structure.

Find any escalators to another level. Or the hallway to the hotel registration. Whichever.

All of them are important. Second, find the widest aisle. It’s likely to be positioned directly at the entrance to the high-limit slots room. However, in my experience of visiting many new-to-me casinos, it often passes by the central aisle.

Walk the entire length of the central aisle. Look at it. Is it straight?

Does it curve? Is it wavy? What are the visible landmarks as you walk from one end to the other?

Is there a Café? A food court area? The high-limit room?

Is there a car giveaway area? And along it, which intersection is the largest? Second largest crossing? What’s going on with them?

Understanding the multi-million-dollar design of your casino’s physical layout is crucial to comprehending your casino effectively.

Winning with Just the Basics

Either way, review what you just saw from the perspective of my strategies during your walk. Did you see slot machines facing the café? Is the main intersection on the central aisle an elaborate setup?

Does the end of every row of slot machines have a machine capping the end of that row? Or is there no such thing where that lack tells us more about the casino than anything else? Your walkthrough is an initial evaluation of which of my strategies will work at your casino.

And Take a Step Back

Let’s move a little deeper into learning your casino well. Take a step back. Is your state one of the U.S. states providing monthly return statistics?

Does it live under a cloud of a theoretical payout limit or two? Don’t know? Check your state at ProfessorSlots.com, followed by a slash and your state’s two-letter designation.

There, check the section Theoretical Payout and Return Statistics for answers. Nineteen states have only a minimum theoretical payout limit. Twenty-nine states have both a minimum and maximum theoretical payout limit.

Correction: Thirty states, because Virginia recently legalized casinos and established gaming regulations with an 84% lower and 100% upper limit. Knowing the general rules your casino is subject to is essential to understanding your casino.

Know Your Casino Well

But let’s talk about how to gain a more advanced understanding of your casino. How? Easy.

After completing all the steps I’ve outlined, walking through your casino to gain a better understanding, and visiting another casino. How is it different? You’ll see the other choices available to your casino that it chose NOT to implement.

What might your casino have done instead? What conscious multi-million-dollar decision did your casino not choose to make? But perhaps it will for its next major renovation?

If given the option, visit five other casinos and walk through them. Don’t expect to learn them as well as you probably already know your casino, because that will take multiple trips. But you will see which other casinos are far worse than yours.

Which casinos are far better? Because you should know, right?
