I often wonder why they don’t stop people that are slamming / abusing machines. It’s frustrating when you sit next to a slamming person,

[@mollyds4528]

Yep - I wonder same. And the slappers break the machines, thus costing the casino more $$ for repairs.

[@pokerman1522]

My casino sends them a bill and trespasses them until they pay it

[@nervyodds3937]

Because if that slammed machine wins a jackpot, they actually don't have to pay it, if they saw them slamming the button. To then it equals, slam away.

[@pokerman1522]

If you’re trespassed, you can’t win jackpots sooo

[@3nigmaG]

As a slot supervisor, I’ve seen many slot players break or crack the screen and panels by hitting/slapping it too hard. We will pretty much make them pay for the damage and evict them for a certain amount of time. Now if I’m walking the floor and do happen to see a player abusing the machine, I will tell them if you break it, you’ll pay for it.

[@phyllisdurell7952]

I inadvertently left a ticket for $400 in a slot machine. A couple days later Security asked me if I lost a ticket, and I said yes. Whomever took it was tracked through ticket numbers and cameras, and was told to reimburse the money or be banned for life. I actually got all my money back. Amazing!

[@stephanymstmary8651]

That happened to me. I dropped my $900 voucher, a person picked it up and cashed it. I gad reported it to lost and found. Security watched video saw me drop it, and was able to see the guy that picked it up. They contacted him, asked him to come to the casino. He had to replace the money. I was called by the casino to come in and collect my money. The guy was banned from the casino.

[@indianzfan]

I was at the MGM in Vegas. I did not see who dropped it but I found a $350 ish ticket on the ground. I cashed it and went shopping. The end :-)

[@Carolmaizy]

I dropped a ticket for 525 dollars a couple years ago. Casino security tracked down the person who saw me drop it and who cashed it in. They got my money back the same day! I was thrilled! A week later I found a 100 dollar bill in a slot where you insert money. I assumed someone had been distracted and forgotten to reinsert it. Knowing what I had gone through, I brought the bill to the cashier. Hopefully, they found the rightful owner. It was the right thing to do, no matter the result. Coincidentally, a week later I won a grand jackpot-$16,000 and change-on an 88 cent bet! Karma? I like to think so.

[@dagwood8512]

lol my mom once went to play a machine and it had $350 in it. not a ticket, it was just credits left in the game. she played it and kept the money. I told her don't do that you could get caught. luckily nothing happened to her

I was in vegas in January my husband went to bed early and I went to the floor to gamble. Off in a corner on my own at NY NY a young man came over and sat one machine over. He started chatting with me telling me to switch my bets up and down. I tried to ignore him and within 5 minutes a security guard came over and escorted him out of the casino. I was happy to know I was being watched and safe being on my own inside the big hotel. Great video thank you 🇨🇦

[@msrocker2121]

I had my phone stolen once at a casino. I immediately went to security and told them, and asked them to look at the camera. They reminded me that security is for them and not for me. Needless to say, I was more than unhappy about it.

[@sage2520]

I work in casino Surveillance, and part of our duties is prioritizing. Unfortunately, people misplace their phones and they get taken on a constant basis in the casino. So most surveillance departments have thresholds for what they will review. Honestly, phones are at the bottom of the chain, if they’re even there at all. We will search for someone’s $500, we will investigate when you have issues with other patrons, we will look into dealers messing up your payout and make sure you get your money back, but I don’t know of many casinos that will use their resources on phones. We get so many calls as it is, we would be doing reviews of lost cell phones all day if we were to allow it. You may not like the answer, but having these thresholds makes the department run more efficiently.

I live in Shreveport used to work security and then surveillance. Dude is right. Our radio call was “300” any time I did anything or picked anything up off the ground I’d have to radio “4 to 300” they’re then gonna say “300 go ahead, “ and I’d have to have them legit watch me pick up chips money or whatever and hold it basically up and away from my body and drop it in a box to be claimed , if unclaimed money or chip or person couldn’t be verified , it would then go to the boat .

Back in the 1980s, I worked as the only female barback ever at a major casino in Reno. I found out just how vigilant the casino’s surveilliance was the one time I decided to have a fling with a casino customer, a wonderfully charming and handsome Army Special Forces officer. After my shift, I went with him up to his room, still in my black and white uniform. I was never directly reprimanded, but I found out later from one of the bartenders that our department boss was immediately notified that I had spent the night in that customer’s hotel room! 😮The ”eye in the sky” doesn’t miss a thing…especially, as you point out, when it comes to casino employees! 😅

I love your tips. I actually just had a serious issue at caesars atlantic city where someone got a hold of my players card and went to a high end clothing store . They made 3 different purchases 70, 90, and 310 dollars. Spent nearly 500 of my 680.00 worth of reward credits. There is an current investigation in effect to get me my reward credits returned to me. Best part is I can't buy a soda without showing identification. But somehow this person got away with making 3 separate purchases Without being identified! Makes me think it was an inside job, or the employee was friends with the person who had my card. It's been roughly a week and they do keep me updated. But have yet to receive my credits back. There are thieves all around us

I will leave my card if it is for a short bathroom break. Because if your card is in the machine for 10 minutes it locks up and becomes an abandoned card. Which means you have to go to the cage and have them unlock it.

I was in Vegas for this last New Years and we stayed at The Orleans. So whenever we stay at a hotel any where for just a few days we always put out the do not disturb sign. No need to be in our room, we clean up any messes we make and usually travel with our own towels...lol The last day we were there we were getting ready to go out and as we were opening our door security and some other guy knocked and was asking if we were ok. We told him yes and they left, it's the first time I have ever had that happen and I think it was because we didn't want anyone in our room.

[@stever7157]

[@frazzledhaloz3184]

I used be a cashier for a casino and everything is monitored 24/7 special procedures are in place. Watch and you can catch. After every time you count money out you MUST clear your hands for two reasons. 1. To indicate you are done 2. To show your hands are clear.

[@seasonsintheson]

As a customer, I too started doing the hand-flip clear procedure whenever I transact with the cashiers, it usually gets a smile out of them.

[@frazzledhaloz3184]

What’s really interesting is some cashiers can spot when they mess up. It happened to me twice! I can reel back my memory and tell you when that funny feeling happened time wise. Helps security to narrow the time down. But I cannot impress you enough that you are heavily monitored 24/7.

[@1967Camaro]

Hey Brantley, I have a question about this. Annie and I had a different experience at Bellagio. We felt like surveillance was NOT there for our protection. We felt like they were there to protect the casino, and not the guests, and we had a false sense of security. Long story short, after we got robbed by a thief of over 1250 bucks, we felt they were analyzing us to see if we weren’t trying to commit fraud, and then they made us agree NOT to do a security report in exchange for Free Play. We went back a month later, saw the same thief doing the same thing, but we had no way to alert anyone because they made us agree not to do a report. Do you think this is an outlier event? Bottom line - we learned casino surveillance and security are there to protect the casino first and foremost. PS, I’m not challenging you? I’m just asking your thoughts.

[@juhcyslots]

Exactly

[@rickyphillips5163]

Really? I got robbed in primm nv. The security said that they can't do anything about it! I have never been back to that place.

[@sage2520]

Casinos have different things they will investigate. I can tell you that in my casino, we have never asked someone not to file a report, and we will absolutely investigate a robbery of that amount. We will even send the report to the Sheriffs that are assigned to our property. I’m honestly shocked of that response that you described.

[@1967Camaro]

@@sage2520 hi Sage. It’s all 100% accurate. No exaggeration. Here’s where it gets crazier. We went back a month later and saw the EXACT same person doing it again. He was standing between a bank of machines watching people, waiting for them to move. He stood there for over 10 mins. It was so obvious. But we had no report to prove it. I confronted the guy, drawing the attention of security and it gave me closure. But clearly the Bellagio security doesn’t give a damn. They let him back in there, even after seeing him on surveillance.

[@eylsnokissile6608]

Yeah, that definitely sounds like a company-endorsed and coordinated "inside job". Did that non-disclosure agreement INCLUDE the state Gaming Control Board (it's technically NOT "security")? That's really f*cked up what they did to y'all, but it MIGHT be safer to just cut your losses and just never give them any more of your patronage. I've heard from multiple credible sources that the casinos are indeed owned by very VERY dangerous and powerful people, and often they go to some pretty extreme and "interesting" measures in dealing with anyone that tries causing them ANY kind of "problem" (or what THEY "interpret" as being a "problem" for them) Put it like this - Back when I used to work as a retail Loss Prevention Investigator, I was actively looking into get hired to be a Casino Surveillance Agent. But after I had spoke with some former casino employees in Vegas and the horror stories they were telling me about that actually happens sometimes behind closed doors to casino cheats, thieves, dishonest employees, anyone else they feel is "problematic" in their eyes, perpetrated by BOTH the security AND surveillance staff, I decided "Hell NO!", I didn't want ANY part of that. I'm all about dealing with crooks within the framework of the law, but some of what I was being told they WILL often do to these "crooks", would constitute as being "atrocities", gross human rights violations - really disturbingly BAD things to these people. I mean, I've gotten into plenty of brawls and uscuffles with combative shoplifters and that's one thing, but these casino employees take it to a whole other plateau altogether.

[@sandranoyd9576]

In the Flamingo, our room door was open. This was years ago. We called the Manager and asked him to see us. He asked why we didn’t call security. I told him that I go to the top. He refuted my statement. So I asked him how we got in our room without the key card. He still didn’t answer me. So I said maybe the Las Vegas police department would be interested. So finally got him to at least look into the matter. Finally he gave us the money that was stolen. Much later that day I might add. Returning home I wrote to Conrad Hilton about the way we were treated by that manager, as well as several instances that took place at the Hilton in Savannah two months before. We received a letter from the same, an apology and a 3 night stay in a suite in both Las Vegas and Savanna! He certainly knew how to handle his customers. Again this was many years ago. My husband passed away in 2015. But even many years ago I knew that they could tell from the log whose key card was used.

At San Manuel Indian Casino (now Yaamava Casino) in Highland, CA, my girlfriend used to have some rich friends who played the $5 machines right behind the machines we played all the time. When they hit jackpots, they would call my girlfriend over to sit at the machine and claim the jackpot because they didn't want to pay taxes. They would give her 20% of their winnings. I watched this happen at least 7-8 times and she would give me a lucky $20 out of her cut. The casino never noticed evidently.

Adaptive gaming, also known as adaptive slots, is a controversial technology that some casinos use to adjust the odds of winning on their slot machines based on a player's behavior and betting patterns. The idea behind adaptive gaming is that the casino can use data collected through player tracking to identify players who are likely to continue gambling even after experiencing losses, and then adjust the odds of winning on the machines those players are using in order to increase the likelihood that they will continue to gamble and lose more money.

I’ve seen on other videos you have to get permission from the casino to take videos of play.

If I’m sitting at a slot machine and I put the money in, I’m playing then I ask my friend to hit the button one time because his luck is unreal and he hits the jackpot, is he technically the winner or signer of the money???

[@kevinb4079]

They do have a claim to the wins if the other person or the casino wanted to make a case out of it. There is at least one case I am aware of where it was ruled that the person pressing the button was entitled to the jackpot.

[@jacomans9078]

@@kevinb4079 Yea Kevin, I heard that too, I was waiting to see if Brantley or Mark knew for 100% for sure

[@sage2520]

I work in Surveillance and verify jackpots as part of my duties. It does not matter who puts in the money. The person who pressed the button that triggered the bonus is the rightful winner.

[@jacomans9078]

@@sage2520 ok..thanks .:.sounds fair enough

[@sage2520]

@@jacomans9078 it’s also a big situation if you claim it and you didn’t trigger the bonus. Essentially, that person is lying, because that jackpot has to get reported for tax purposes. If at any point anyone suspects the jackpot winner of seat swapping with someone else, I get a call to do a review. It’s a huge thing, I have to submit paperwork, their name, the person’s name they swapped with, that gets sent to compliance, it’s just a bigger hassle than it’s worth.

By the way we were never asked to sign a no disclosure agreement.

[@johnkerr6697]

The casino doesn't care about players being targeted on the casino floor. I was pickpocketed on the casino floor at Hard Rock Tampa, while in line to cash in a couple TItos. I contacted security and described the thief....Security and Surveillance did nothing to 8:47 assist or identify the suspect. They did nothing to help wouldn't even contact the local police. Will never return there.

[@Ocean_breezes]

I go to the Hard Rock in Tampa on a regular basis. The security there is excellent. A year ago some woman was threatening my wife because my wife was playing a machine that the woman wanted to play. We reported the woman and security escorted her and her husband out and banned them. They -Security-then found us later and followed up and let us know . I feel safe there

[@HGSlots346]

I agree because it also happened to me at Morongo casino in California and they didn’t do anything to help me out either. I called the Sheriff department and was told to meet their deputy outside of the casino .. the deputy never went inside to speak to their security and left as soon as he was finished writing the report.

[@kevinb4079]

@@HGSlots346 If you were present at the machine at the time your friend hit the jackpot they MAY have paid you. Depends on the casino and/or other circumstances. But if you are not present they will not pay you just because it was your money and card in the machine. If you could prove he was playing without your permission you could make a legal claim to the jackpot if you wanted to press charges on your friend for theft and go through all of the legal proceedings. But you gave him permission to gamble with your money.

[@HGSlots346]

@@kevinb4079 I wax pickpocketed and my wallet was stolen by someone . I was responding to the earlier comment I should have been clearer and the Morongo casino security and staff didn’t do anything to assist me in trying to apprehend the person who had stolen my wallet.

[@eylsnokissile6608]

​@@HGSlots346My guess is probably the Riverside Co Sheriff's and the Tribal Police, casino security/surveillance probably don't get along, like there's a rivalry between them most likely, or maybe it's just a jurisdictional thing. Kinda hard to say.

Hey question??? I am trying to do most of the things for the buckle contest. But only gives me 2 points. Keep watching the videos that are part of the contest. Keep watching you on KZbin. But only gives me 2 points, then it says come back in 23 hours and play again. Not giving the additional points Have played every day and only have 14 points. Thanks for any help. Love your videos and all your info.

[@lynn9418]

Are you expected or supposed to tip when you get a handpay, and if so how much do you tip

[@shill1444]

Good question. I think it depends on how much you actually win. The first time I won a hand pay the lady handed me $3,000 and I actually didn't know to tip her. By contrast, the next time I hit a hand pay for $1,300 I was so excited I gave the lady $100 bill and over tipped her. LOL. Maybe five to 10%

[@clevelandrocksgirl]

A hand pay is taxed 30% as well. Damn I will end up with 500.00 by the time all the tipping and taxing is done!

[@clevelandrocksgirl]

@@maxfrax333 true, but you will end of paying later then sooner

[@CowboySlots]

This topic has been covered. Please see the Top 50 Myths video and look in the video description.

[@kevinb4079]

Tipping slot attendants is optional. It's not like tipping a server in a restaurant who is relying on tips as a major part of their income. Tips are typically shared with a lot of employees at the casino so you are not just tipping that person. A lot of people who get frequent hand pays will tip 1% as a general guideline. You can always tip more if you want to be generous or you can not tip at all if you're not.

[@garysapp1450]

Does the casino security care if a dude playing the slots takes a "date" to his room after winning a big jackpot? Asking for a friend.

[@goddesst]

Why would they care? You're adults.

[@sonnygower8242]

What about Surveillance Surveillance?

[@nancyrainey9453]

How do casinos prevent someone who has been banned from playing?

[@CowboySlots]

If you're banned from playing and hit a jackpot, instead of money, they bring you police to handcuff you for trespassing. If your banned, your informed that your return will result in arrest and forfeiture of all wins.

Omygosssh, at my local casino, this Top Level employee walks up behind me, says Boo ! Startles the S*** out of me, he also pinches me on my side and flirts, im not the type to scream ' Harrasment' but i would think he would worry about him doing that on camera...

I was at Casino Morongo with my son and I was playing a $5 machine. I had my card in the machine. I had to go to the restroom so I told him he could play my machine while I was gone. Sure enough he hit a hand pay, on my machine with my money and my players card in it. They paid him because he was the one that pressed the button. I was disappointed.

[@gregorydaniels3884]

Do they monitor the restaurants and other food outlets in the casino? What about restaurants that are not operated by the casino, like a Subway restaurant? What about people who are sitting at a machine and looking at porn on their phone?
