I happened to be in Vegas for a day and half, and managed a quick stop by the Palms. I've now been playing this machine for several years now and I'm still convinced theres patterns to the way the lines come up. For instance there appears to be 2 possibilities. Either a symbol appears on line one or a symbol appears on both lines 2 and 3. I continue to wonder if its possible to determine prior to the spin by using a system of trends as to if scenario one is about to occur, whereas you only need to spin line one for 25 cents, as theres no possibility to hit strike on line 2 & 3. If scenario 2 appears 2x in a row, then it appears that scenario one accurs over 80% of the time thereby only requiring 25 cents for that spin. The same works for the reverse as if scenario ones occurs 2x in a row then there is a greater chance for the necessity to spin seventy-five cents for the next spin as lines 2 & 3 are in line to hit for a strike. This all might sound hokey as theres the known random number generator, and all these 2 coin cherry winners that appear more than from time to time which pay for the spins etc... but its just a thought and perhaps if statistics were made as to the trend of scenario 1 and 2 occuring, certain patterns maybe identified. It just doesn't seem as random as a ball on a roulette wheel. Only once during this playing sequence did I lose a stike on line 3, playing only a quarter for that spin. But I did walk away with 4 strikes on $20, which includes the 200 quarter winner which hit on line one.
If this photo generator works, I'm attaching a photo I took of this machine hitting 7-7-7 on line 1 with one coin played as previous to this spin scenario 2 occured 2x in a row prior to this spin. This saved 50 cents which adds up in the long run. This 7-7-7 winner was the second of my strike playing career as my first 7-7-7 hit on line 2 at SouthPoint when they had their horses, in the machine.
Any thoughts on 3-line machine patterns?
