The video poker is also very stingy at the airport. As I recall, they are set to the lowest settings available, returning about 97% with optimal strategy. Administrator
One should never judge the looseness of slots or video poker from short sittings or how often big jackpots are hit. Those are both functions of variance and volume of play. For video poker, just look at the pay tables. For slots, also look at the video poker tables, which are highly correlated to how generous or stingy the slots are.
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

not to beat a dead horse because a totally agree that the games at the airport are tight, and on top of that there's no 'players card' for comps or cash backs etc. but it's just been my observation that there seems to be quite a few jackpot type hits for what appears to me to be actually low volume of play. i noticed that almost none of the machines are being played on the arrival side because everyone is rushing to get to the casino, and very few play on the departure side probably because most of them already lost all the money and are going home broke, or are depressed. i wonder what the percentage of 'jackpot' type hits to hours played actually occure at the airport compared to a casino. i know there are alot of variables to consider, but again, just relating my observations based on what little time i try to spend at the airport.

I would also have to imagine that supermarket and gas station slot machines pay just as bad, if not worse, if the video poker pay tables are any indication.

i have said this on other threads but I just played 90 minutes of slots during a layover and won $85 in profit. I put in a $20 eight times and hit the bonus wheel before I ground through my $20 each time.
Perhaps this new owner has made them looser? Why not? He'll still be making a profit and entices people to gamble while they are waiting instead of reading a book or something 'productive'

I'm actually four for four as Nevada airports in the last two months even with stingy pay tables. $500 in DDB, two sets of 4 deuces for $250 and another 4 aces win for $200.----- You want the truth! You can't handle the truth!

The man that owns the slot concession is Michael Gaughan who owns the South Point Hotel and Casino. Black lotu casino free slots. Gta online casino win car every time.
Southpoint is also known as Sweat Point for its generous attitude to card counters at even a five dollar table! As well as its generous attitude towards craps players with its 2x odds. And of course, its overall attitude throughout the casino of we don't sing, we don't dance and we don't chat! You put money in the little circle and we deal cards to you, you want conversation, go get it elsewhere.Given the attitude at Sweat Point towards anyone who bets higher when the deck is favorable to them or who tries to chat with a dealer, just how generous should one expect his airport slot concession to be?
Oh, don't get me wrong. SouthPoint is well lit, has no party pit, has no 6:5 BJ at all, has large, clean rooms and is overall a well-run casino aimed at the middle-aged, middle-class types who are there to gamble. It has several good aspects to it. Its just that generosity is not likely to be high on its list. When it 'loosened' ten percent of its slot machines with newly installed chips, it sure got alot of milelage on the publicity so the real value was the 'sizzle' not the 'steak'. Given all this I would expect the slot area at the airport to be actually consistent with its reputation as the lowest in town but still well within the range of what would be termed a fair gamble rather than some rip-off slot joint that sticks to the legal minimum of 75 percent. I'm sure his stats are fair, just not generous or impressive. He has a captive audience and waiting for a rental car clerk is a frustrating experience so having the slots nearby can be very profitable for him, but there simply is no slot club or anything approaching a relationship with the customer. Zillions of impulsive people are passing through. So why set the machines high?
Does anyone know in what category the Gaming Board lists his slot concession?

Wow. I sure didn't know that. I wonder how much it alters certain stats about casino win rate and stuff like that?Who Owns The Slot Machines At The Las Vegas Airport
I mean if the Airport Slot Concession is lumped in with Strip Casinos then these various win percentages categorized as The Strip, The Boulder Strip, Downtown and North Las Vegas might have some problems. We know there are so few licensees in North Las Vegas that if one slot machine sneezes, the statistics can jump either way. The Strip casinos was, to me anyway, a category that included some upscale mega resorts as well as decidedly downscale places such as Circus Circus and The Riviera. However, I never knew the stats reported for The Strip automatically included this known Low Value, the Airport Slot Concession. Now I don't know if the figures are significantly shifted because of this. After all it is just one reporting point, but it seems to have emotional impact and the figures just might be significant.
I wonder if we took the casino win rate for various slot denominations and re-cast the figures kicking out all airport results, would we get something extremely different or only mildly so?

Wow. I sure didn't know that.
Ya gotta pay more attention.I'm sure I read that in some thread here, probably in one of Paco's posts.
For the record, on a purely geographical standpoint, it does make sense that the airport is part of the strip. Particularly since some casinos that are thought of as off-strip are also tabulated as being part of the strip numbers. I.E. Unless I'm mistaken, Hard Rock and Palms are in the strip totals too.
Paco, care to confirm?
