The Casinos of Bootleggers: Slot Machine WillSeanMakeBoss
The Slot Machine is possibly the most renowned casino on Bootleggers. It is also the most unpredictable as there aren’t really any strategies you can use. You simply input your bet and hope for the best.

Average price of a Slot Machine: The average price of a Slot Machine right now is 180 points (or $4,500,000).

Average turnover of owning a Slot Machine: I was given a rather mixed opinion on how much cash Slot Machines make. The general consensus was that they are unpredictable. I was told by a few of the current owners that making the Slot Machine’s max bet unlimited often got lots of money rolling in but, as is the nature of casinos, it could also lead to you losing all of your cash.

Slot Machine owners’ opinions on Slot Machines/if they’re worth it: Every Slot Machine owner said that they are worth owning. LowryderV3 said that they made 45-55 million dollars by owning a Slot Machine in the last week. I was told that they could give you huge profits but they are also very expensive. DepartedHerrings, however, said “I personally prefer keno as they are less costly, so losing one isnt too painful.” However, he added that it really depends on how much of a risk taker you are. From a casino owner perspective, a Slot Machine could make you a huge amount of cash but they cost a considerable amount more than any other casino.

Opinion of gamblers on how easy Slot Machines profitability/chance of winning when gambling: This casino received the most discussion out of all the other casinos I have looked at so far. Menoria instantly summed up the Slot Machines by saying “sometimes slots give high payouts (if you bet high ofcourse), but sometimes you can click and click but it doenst payout... but i think this is a problem that all the gamblers have”. Players seemed mostly to be talking about how great Slot Machines are to own and LowryderV3 said “Those past 3 i've also had 35mil, 47mil and 55mil profit on so the profits are good. As far as gambling on them goes, I try to stay away from the slots gambling on them as you need a lot of patience to keep clicking to hit good on it.” As the discussion continued, the idea of why Slot Machines are worth so much came up. OllibolsRevenge said that “Slot Machines are sheer luck” as opposed to other casinos, which you can apply some sort of strategy to. ArachnaphobiA said that Slot Machines, like most other casinos, just require a lot of patience before you make any money but, also like all other casinos, it boils down to luck and therefore it is a game of complete risk.

Conclusion: So it seems that this casino is great to own but you should probably steer clear from gambling on it yourself. I think 5TK87 summed up Slot Machines well when he said “winning one is hard but owning one (with a steady (low) maximum bet) is safe profit.

This was going to be the last in the series, but I was requested to also do an article on Poker earlier this week so I will be looking into how good Poker is on Bootleggers later this week. I’d like to thank everybody for their contributions so far.
