We’ve noticed that too. And the new machines seemed to be made and programmed to pay smaller payouts to make you feel like you’re winning when really, the win is smaller than your bet and it just takes longer to lose!
Our favorite casino was the Borgata in Atlantic City. Comps were excellent and you could play for a long time UNTIL MGM bought it. Once that happened all the machines tightened up and comps were reduced. Needless to say we do not go there anymore, nor do many of my friends. I have a second home in Boca Raton, so we’ve been going to the Hard Rock in Hollywood. All I can say is “forget about it!” That place is one of the worst for having tight machines! I guess I’m going to have to take up another hobby and leave my $$$ to my kids! 😂 Good luck wherever you play!
Crazy tight slots at mgm grand Vegas. I didn't even spend all the money earmarked for gambling.i was like whats the point it went so quick. Platinum card holder
I was going to the mgm Springfield before the cyber attacks and always did ok, but since the attacks it seems the slots are alot tighter!! Other players said the same thing that I have talked to! It had to affected their revenues and no one knows exactly what kind of a hit they took! Seems like they are passing it along to the players!! Solution is to go somewhere else to gamble!!
I find the hits better in the summer to encourage tourists, cooler in the fall for the die hard locals, loose again the week before Christmas when people are supposed to be shopping& cooking. Notice.😳
As a heads up, the big 3 casinos in Detroit are on strike, including Mgm Grand Detroit. They definitely don't get treated good like the Nevada casinos.
When Stacy is not killing it, you know the casinos are tightening up! I've noticed the trend and I think maybe we ought to protest by staying home and letting the casinos feel the pinch!
I'm a fairly new subscriber and I really enjoy your channel and I want to thank you for all the time and effort ya'll put in to your video's. I feel your frustration when the machines aren't cooperating, but am glad when you show them from time to time. It lets us know that it doesn't just happen to us and sort of made me feel better, if that makes any since. Yes, I've felt many of times that the casino that I visit knows right when I walk in and feel that they may have something to do with my machines not playing friendly. I feel that it's hard enough to win on there machines and I don't need any extra help losing. LOL. I only play the the three wheel slots, that's my era, the new ones are to busy for me and are hard for me to figure out.
First, thanks for watching and for subscribing! It sure can be frustrating sometime! It seems like over time, the casinos have become tighter and tighter! I guess those beautiful hotels and resorts don’t build themselves, do they?! Thanks again and best of luck to you!!
They have been tight but Vegas also has had some of the largest hits whacks this year at the same time! Weird. Those slots you played in this session iMO are some of the hardest ones to crack!!
Go gamble downtown at El Cortez.. Vegas had gotten so expensive.. Before, you give all the monies you two won, back to MGM.. Go to Resort World, downtown Vegas. We did good at casinos downtown. Fremont, not Golden Nugget.
After or before, always tight. Bonus bummer at an all time high. Try to find one with line hits more then your bet. Betting 20 dollar spins, get 6 orbs and the highest one is $6. Maybe why so many are breaking into on line casinos, cruises.
These were tight as what I dealt with in 2020 the pandemic when Vegas was closed for a few months then reopened back in September took 4K of my money and hardly any line hits so I know the feeling too well
Theories and mind games. Depending on how the “random number generator” is designed it is possible for it to output endless streams of numbers, technically random, that do not address the range of “good pays” to stop the wheels thus (the wheels are after the fact, the random number is stripped down to three or four digits that determine the prize). I am retired university professor of statistics so I get it - but don’t often like it. However when multiple locations ALL go cold something suspicious seems to be at play.
Yes MGM has been tighter than before the hack. We go every week to our local and it has been bad and even horrible right after the hack happened. Seemed last week was a little better but still not how it should be.
Speaking of slot tournaments, Miran aka DudeLuck23, Lady Luck HQs "Lovey Dovey" yo know already that he won a slot tournament. Won $50k. But I can't remember if that was for 1st or 3rd place.
I’ve been moving away from the 3wheel 1 line machine all they seem to do is take your money it’s sad because I still love them , but you can only be beaten so many times before you you get smart enough to walk away and believe me I’ve been dumb for a long time.
The computer hack gave them the opportunity to reprogram their slots. Just think if they just dropped the winning percentage by 1% how much more money they would make!
Greed, not bad if your on that end, not good if your on the other, if they take the carrot off the stick people will stop visiting, Just entertainment shows won't fill the void from lack of casino players
Oh for sure robbing people. They need to make the money back somehow. Personally I would steer clear of MGM properties for a good long time. Sorry you lost, Stacey!
After the hack , I landed a grand at Aria and the same night landed a maxed out Grand at Mandalay bay . I believe it is luck of the draw . It is called gambling lol We win and we lose . Every trip is not a winning trip . People need to just go and have fun and if you get a winning trip it’s a bonus . Continue luck 💕🍑
Realistically the machines aren't tighter, as changing the machines en masse would be a big undertaking. They'd need to open each one (with someone from the gaming commission there), change the payback %, etc. It would be a huge undertaking and something that wouldn't go unnoticed. And as Cowboy Slots demonstrated on his channel, even if you do change the payout of a machine, you don't notice a difference over small sessions anyway. A 88% payout machine can still pay out more money than a 94% machine over a few hundred spins. You wouldn't see a difference unless you had a huge sample size. Still, it definitely is true that the hold percentage in Vegas is only getting worse and worse over the years. That's all public knowledge. It's a shame given that they're generating record profits. I hope the culinary union gets the raises it deserves. They're the backbone of the service industry there.
Well face the TRUTH. the machines in MOST Casinos favor the Casino or they would not reap profits. As to 'adjusting" the frequency or Jackpot amounts... The Gaming Commission adamantly denies it. so they must be telling the truth lol.
I agree I can’t hit anything and always feel they watch the high rollers and do something to the machine. It is nice to see that the people that do these videos lose too. It would not be as interesting if they were all winners and us people watching were the only losers.
Greg. I/We would be more willing to do so here 12:29 if it wasn't for every time you hit a sizable jackpot say $5k or more you're so nonchalant about it. It's like you're not even the least bit surprised. It's like no big deal to you, unlike Stacey. You don't even care that you won. So when you play I usually fast forward your segments.
Stacey, you mentioned watching sports at the top of the video and I don't care for them anymore. Except CFL Canadian football, because I've been watching it off and on for 11 years and the regular season ended today and the postseason starts next week. 🍁🏈 Sorry the slot games not doing you any justice, but hope you can rebound next video.
Sports? I've never understood the entertainment of watching grown men playing with their balls for 3 hours or however long a game lasts. I was more into video games as a kid. I still am and my feelings about sports haven't changed. Maybe that's why my dad always favored my younger brother who exactly one year older than me. Ironically we even have the same birthday and he was all into sports. Even played for his school.
Colorado slots an casino are super tight they are hardly paying out to the point to were its not even fun to go nemore there going to make it to were they lose all there business
You know gambling wasnt made for honest but to swindle people out of there money now look at technology of today your playing against a computer competitive who do you think is going to win they have to reset the machine like to start over again thats what a1 is all about pretty much were screwed.
It is not just at MGM I have noticed every place I frequent the payouts are less and line hits do not cover your bet
We’ve noticed that too. And the new machines seemed to be made and programmed to pay smaller payouts to make you feel like you’re winning when really, the win is smaller than your bet and it just takes longer to lose!

Must be nice to have a second home let alone a home😮
@@daniel-ws5cn You're that guy at a banging house party complaining about the dip being too salty.
@mickeyhead9770 You're living your best life. Congratulations on your success.
Crazy tight slots at mgm grand Vegas. I didn't even spend all the money earmarked for gambling.i was like whats the point it went so quick. Platinum card holder
We’ve had trips like that too. Sorry and better luck next time!!!
Remember casinos are a business they always will make out no matter what
I was going to the mgm Springfield before the cyber attacks and always did ok, but since the attacks it seems the slots are alot tighter!! Other players said the same thing that I have talked to! It had to affected their revenues and no one knows exactly what kind of a hit they took! Seems like they are passing it along to the players!! Solution is to go somewhere else to gamble!!
We are still pretty loyal to MGM BUT we are trying out some other casinos for a while too 😊 Thanks for watching!
I find the hits better in the summer to encourage tourists, cooler in the fall for the die hard locals, loose again the week before Christmas when people are supposed to be shopping& cooking. Notice.😳
@@StaceysHighLimitSlotshow about caesars? Station casinos or boyd?
@@laceyflake2433 I agree, that seems to be how it is! Good luck at the slots!
As a heads up, the big 3 casinos in Detroit are on strike, including Mgm Grand Detroit. They definitely don't get treated good like the Nevada casinos.
I’ve heard that too!
"Greg's slot tip of the day" sound like a fantastic new feature for the channel.
Hahaha I’ve been trying to get him to do TikTok’s and shorts for me with his tips!!!!
When Stacy is not killing it, you know the casinos are tightening up! I've noticed the trend and I think maybe we ought to protest by staying home and letting the casinos feel the pinch!
Wow! They sure were tight!
Tight machines! I like to see you and Greg to win big! 🤩♥️
Thank you!!!
I feel that all the time!

Thank you, Stacey, good luck to you also, so I can continue to watch your great video's.@@StaceysHighLimitSlots
thank you!!@@williamwoldt2174
you can put your money in the machines or throw them out from your car window... same results...
🤣🤣 but it’s more fun to play slots 😊😊 thx for watching!
You make me laugh! Love your laugh too.
They have been tight but Vegas also has had some of the largest hits whacks this year at the same time! Weird. Those slots you played in this session iMO are some of the hardest ones to crack!!

Good luck Ms.Steacey 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💚👍👍
I use to play hard & heavy everywhere.. Vegas has gotten so tight after covid
That was a BRUTAL session! Greg didnt even hit a jp😢
We had long cold streaks on this Las Vegas trip!! thanks for watching!
After or before, always tight. Bonus bummer at an all time high. Try to find one with line hits more then your bet. Betting 20 dollar spins, get 6 orbs and the highest one is $6. Maybe why so many are breaking into on line casinos, cruises.
Maybe so! The online stuff makes me nervous because they’re so unregulated and who knows who to trust!!
Heading to Winstar this coming friday, Nov. 3rd. Hoping we have some luck! 🤞🤑🎰
Answer is Yes, everyday, 24/7
Winstar super tight right now
These were tight as what I dealt with in 2020 the pandemic when Vegas was closed for a few months then reopened back in September took 4K of my money and hardly any line hits so I know the feeling too well

Have you tried the Cherries Jubilee cowboy slots talked about at MGM?
I haven’t tried those. Thanks for watching!
I tried those last week for a little over $300. Almost all of the machines were full and I didn’t see anyone hit anything while I was there.
The only machine I’ve been getting a payout on says ATM!
TRUE
Yes MGM has been tighter than before the hack. We go every week to our local and it has been bad and even horrible right after the hack happened. Seemed last week was a little better but still not how it should be.
Yea sometimes I think the casinos are saying, well shes back. Let's see how much she'll spend with us this time. 😂 and I stay and spend 😢
A little tip for 65k of my closest friends. Bally's Dover Casino in DE. Shh keep it on the dl.
Ever play the Cherries Jubilee machines at MGM Grand? Bet you hit a jackpot!
Speaking of slot tournaments, Miran aka DudeLuck23, Lady Luck HQs "Lovey Dovey" yo know already that he won a slot tournament. Won $50k. But I can't remember if that was for 1st or 3rd place.
Hello., you ..2.. cool people ✨🍀👍✨👀from Duncan Oklahoma.
Proof positive, answered your own question. "TIGHT" !
I’ve been moving away from the 3wheel 1 line machine all they seem to do is take your money it’s sad because I still love them , but you can only be beaten so many times before you you get smart enough to walk away and believe me I’ve been dumb for a long time.
Baseball! Baseball!
Go Rangers!!!!!! What a fun game to watch last night!
The computer hack gave them the opportunity to reprogram their slots. Just think if they just dropped the winning percentage by 1% how much more money they would make!
I watch several players and lately they are all tight.
Hmmmm... It should be "Just Like That"..... 🙄 Appreciate you posting the real reality of slots. Good Luck Yall!!
Someone has to pay the bill, usually me.
Greed, not bad if your on that end, not good if your on the other, if they take the carrot off the stick people will stop visiting, Just entertainment shows won't fill the void from lack of casino players

Totally agree 👍
Slots are extremely tight
After the hack , I landed a grand at Aria and the same night landed a maxed out Grand at Mandalay bay . I believe it is luck of the draw . It is called gambling lol We win and we lose . Every trip is not a winning trip . People need to just go and have fun and if you get a winning trip it’s a bonus . Continue luck 💕🍑
Agree! I think the casinos, in general, are tighter these days! But....we still go and have fun so can't really blame them! haha

Sooooooo sad for you ,Stacey!
:) It's ok! Luckily we had some wins in between and still had fun! Appreciate you watching!
Its like that every where now, the payouts will continue to get smaller and smaller my friend 😢
ITS NOT JUST MGM ,ITS ALL THE CASINOS IN THE UNITED STATES. RIPPING US ALL OFF
Just my opinion but I Think MGM is one of the hardest casino to win at !! Not a fan
I should have our MGM in Northfield Ohio ! It use to be a HardRock and when MGM took over they are very tight !!
And yes I only play high limit
They want you to watch that tell I vision programming stuff turn tvs off
Stacey some of the machines is like a strip show... Show you everything but give you nothing 😊
Well face the TRUTH. the machines in MOST Casinos favor the Casino or they would not reap profits. As to 'adjusting" the frequency or Jackpot amounts... The Gaming Commission adamantly denies it. so they must be telling the truth lol.
@HC-sb1ru They used to put the payback percentages on machines but they stopped doing that about 15 years ago.
Play without your card to win,
I agree I can’t hit anything and always feel they watch the high rollers and do something to the machine. It is nice to see that the people that do these videos lose too. It would not be as interesting if they were all winners and us people watching were the only losers.

Depends on how you're raised. Many men were taught to hide emotions while it's considered normal for women to show emotions.
Stacey, you mentioned watching sports at the top of the video and I don't care for them anymore.
