Hello Roger:
For Obvious reasons i do not wish to post too accurately about the companies i have been associated with (On a public forum) but I will tell you that if you Know Peter, Jack, Jo, Ralph,Connie etc. they all remember/Know me as well as Photoman etc.

I began my career in Live gaming in the mid 70's in las vegas. I saw slots becoming the dominant force, and switched careers to the slot end in about 1980 . I then ran a Growing division of a public firm that was (but is no longer) listed on the NYSE as BLY (5+ years).....next was a division of a NYSE gaming Route firm J for 5 years. Then my escape from Corporate America to run a small sparks casino (5 yrs (that still has strikes but do not know how to limit production).....There is obviously more but this should be enough info for a while.....
Thanks for asking....

I am going to explain how a modern slot machine works next topic tomorrow for those interested. BTW: The info I am providing is NOT secret stuff...just takes someone who worked in the business at the right levels for a while and is willing. I hope the info will assist you all in making informed decisions when you 1) Play 2) trade, or 3) Purchase/Sell strikes.

2 old gaming sayings:
1) I would rather be lucky than good....
2) It is very UNLUCKY to be SUPERSTIOUS....KNOCK WOOD!!
