How She Made a Million Dollars Gambling in Casinos! • The Jackpot Gents

On March 12, 2022, Jean Scott wrote a blog post with her thoughts on this video and to address some of the comments that have been made. You can read it here - www.lasvegasadvisor.com/frugal-vegas/a-few-words-about-the-new-video/

[@lavaunjohns7796]

Sounds like they made many wonderful memories together. I remember staying at New York New York on the day we're leaving and I had literally $5 left so I went down to play $.25 poker which is 4 hands. My husband laughed. Two hours later he came to find me and I had hit so many jackpots on one machine that we stayed another night and came home with thousands. I love video poker and anytime I win a hand pay I pull out what I spent then split the remaining. 1/2 goes into the bank and the other 1/2 is set aside to play with or buy some non-essential item. Works well for me.

Anything that requires you risk your own money and where you're not guaranteed a paycheck at the end would be stressful. Video poker for me is just a fun thing to do.

[@HAUNTED-DOLL]

My mom has learned how to bankroll all the comps too. She gambles as a stress reliever, where as gambling stresses me out! I'm a twin and we were born on her birthday. Every year for our birthdays she takes us to the steakhouse on the penthouse floor of our local casino and uses her comps to pay for everything. After dinner we'll go down to the casino and she'll put $100 in one of the $5 slots and we'll all take turns hitting the button. If we win, we all split it. If we dont hit anything, she'll give everyone $20 to go play whatever we want. My brother and husband both like the tables. My sister-in-law usually finds a penny slot machine. My step dad just plays whatever my Mom is playing. Meanwhile, I'll wander around nervously for a few minutes before going back to my mom and asking her for her room key so I can go soak in the giant bathtub in her suite while they all gamble. At the end of the night, my anxiety has disappeared and I've still got my $20. I always go home a winner. 🥩🍹🎂🎰💵🛀❤️

From 99 to 08 my girl and I were like fixtures at the Silverton. We were Big video poker players, and I can tell you we never paid for anything at the Casino, from rooms, restaurants, shows, gift shop and back then both of us smoked, me about 3 packs a day. I never paid for cigarettes the whole time I was in Vegas. We had over 2.5 million points apiece. So our points paid for everything, and I mean everything. On average I would say we were there 4 nights a week. We would usually get there somewhere between 8 and 10 pm, have dinner, always steak and lobster, we would play until 5 or 6 am, and a lot of Friday’s and Saturday’s until noon or later. We absolutely loved that place.

[@gregoryschmidt1233]

It truly is all about the comps. Free meals, free play, and free stay. Just maintaining a certain status with a casino gives you more options than say other people who don't. Almost like a special relationship with a business. I dont even remember what it is like paying for a meal or even a room when I go to gamble anymore. That alone makes the experience more enjoyable knowing that you can not only enjoy a "free" weekend , you can bring family and friends too. Everything she says is 100% true. I just wish I had the time and $ to shoot for a million lol. Great informative video.

[@THE-RED-LETTER-PROJECT]

Free meals, play, and rooms😂😂😂 that is the most misleading thing I've heard in a while. Unless you've never stepped foot in a casino and are just rambling. Staying in that free room can be extremely expensive. 10 minutes at the black jack table you could've paid for that crap room 3 times. Nothing in a casino is "free" I've spent $100 just waiting for my "free" drink I could've bought 3 damn bottles.

[@themountainwanderer]

You get it for free, but only if you cycle through enough money to earn the points you need for this 'free' stuff. Which means you will pay the casino by way of the edge in the pay tables (averaged over time).

[@THE-RED-LETTER-PROJECT]

@@themountainwanderer Ok, I understand you don't know me or what I know about casinos. I'm in my 40s and for 20 solid years straight. After getting an engineering degree. I was a grinder playing poker in Oklahoma, then moved to Biloxi where the pokers rooms were not as spread out, with much more action. You understand you said in the same sentence you said "free" this and that, while you "pay" the casinos, makes no sense. After I would rack up my chips. I'd wait while my buddies downstairs playing 21 waiting on the "free" Rum and Coke, $200 dollars later she showed up with their "free" drinks. There is absolutely nothing free in a casino. At least poker doesn't involve the house or the house money. It's the locals and tourists, and I would make decisions of what I want to do with my chips and hand I'm dealt, depending on the personalities at the table and more importantly the betting patterns. One can make educated decisions. Please don't go around saying casinos will hand out a free room and dinner if you put a 20 slot machine. You could ruin a life.

[@slloyd9892]

Pretty sure I put Free in Quotes as we all know nothing is ever really free. There are times you win, times you lose. Do you choose where you gamble because they have "loose" slots or good comps? I literally know people who believe slots are more "loose" in certain places and tables are more "generous" in others. You spend more $ you get more comps we all get it. Question is, are you going to gamble and stay at a place that gives you no comps? I don't know anyone that does.

[@mrrightorwrong6272]

Yep thats all bs im a gambler, And when i say that i mean i spend what people make in one yr just over a weekend, And yes i get comps free tickets to shows limo etc, But just because you have a certain tier doesnt mean anything, You cant expect to go to the casino and not keep up your play and expect to keep the same comps, Nothing in this world is (FREE) it cost money and alot of it, Unless you consider 100 dollars in resort credit something great😂😂 and 50 bucks free play

Exactly, she got lucky winning a $500,000 slot tournament and getting dealt a royal flush on a multiple line poker machine. NOTHING that she can tell you to help you win but if she is selling books, good for her. No skill whatsoever in slots and very little strategy in video poker. Only strategy is playing at the casino with highest payout percentage. Or maybe if in Vegas you go casino to casino looking for a video poker machine that has a high progressive jackpot that is due to hit. Some have a progressive jackpot for a royal flush. I only play video poker in Detroit when the progressive is over a certain amount. I still never hit it, lol. I get free rooms and eat free anytime I want but I'm losing plenty enough, so it isn't actually free of course. They don't roll out the red carpet for high rollers because they are losing money to the high rollers. If you can count cards, Blackjack would be the only game you could actually give yourself an advantage on over the casino. Anything else they will take your money in the long run.

Yes. They can be changed at any time. However, casinos don't constantly change them back and forth. They would just make the change one time and probably stay with that change. Keep in mind that you can always look at the pay table before playing to see if it has been changed. You can never do that with a slot machine.

Why do these videos look like they were made in 1990, but posted 10 hours ago. :)

Is this a repost? oops

[@themountainwanderer]

Fascinating interview. I have a couple of thoughts. First, the examples brought up, the dealt royal on the 100-play as well as the photos shown, are all very very rare and therefore extremely lucky hits. The average VP gambler will never see those. Second, for every successful gambler like this there are scores of failed gamblers with losses sometimes shockingly high. These disciplined (and lucky) people are rare. Yes, long term success is very hard to achieve, and it involves total commitment, taking advantage of any club benefits you can get as she pointed out (and casinos are constantly devaluing VP play) and scouting for good pay tables that are increasingly hard to find. Another thing you have to account for are the hours spent in the casino. There is a cost here as well. Could you have done something more worthwhile with all that time? I think in many cases the answer is pretty easy.

[@hurleyboy899]

Yeah man, there are far more scores of people with a ton of losses playing then the rare instance of a winner here and there. I can attest to this. Wish I never picked up the habit, it can be quite costly with nothing to show for.

Man, man, man. Gambling is the highway to hell. You ain't winning, they WONT LET YOU. why the Efff is this so hard to understand? You win, you lose more(this is when you get the high of winning and get addicted) You lose, you lose more(chase starts). Then its all a damn loop where your bankroll goed to hell together with your health, personality, and joy of living..... Gambling is shit, no money is given for any pleasure on this earth. No, no, no....

Go to her website for an explanation about this video. This interview was in 2016.

[@nicolealrousan8631]

Very interesting lady but she admits things have changed so much. You can't win quite like you did in the old days. Best thing is breaking even and enjoying a few comps. Now that she's knowledgeable she has written books and makes more money doing that.

Would you say it’s better to not play with a players card ?

[@TheJackpotGents]

You should pretty much always play with your players club card with only a few exceptions

[@enjoyinglife9952]

@@TheJackpotGents whats the few exceptions

[@TheJackpotGents]

@@enjoyinglife9952 so your rewards are based on your average daily amount bet so if you are just going in to like pick up a gift or like just going for dinner and will only be playing a few minutes its a good idea to not use your card. If you were to use your card, that short trip would lower your average and water down your offers

Thank you for the interview. I'm a former casino accounting systems network installer, and it felt great to hear a woman talking about the industry. Different race, gender, socioeconomic demographic - listening helps. It really makes it funner to watch and be more inclusive. Thank you.
