Paylines
A payline is a lineup of specific symbols on which a payout will be awarded. Today's slots feature many symbols and paylines. Paylines can line up in horizontal, vertical, diagonal or even zigzag patterns for a win. Plus, you can bet on as many paylines as you want.
Credits and coins
When it comes to slots, your money is converted into “credits” or “coins”, which are valued from pennies to $100. That’s why players talk about penny slots or nickel slots – they’re referring to the machine’s credit value, called the denomination.
Putting money into a slot? Be sure to check how much one credit is worth on that machine.
Tip
The denomination or value of a credit is rarely the same as the cost of a spin on that machine. Even machines called “penny” or “nickel” may actually have minimum bets that are much higher. In other words your spin will never cost only one cent on a penny machine.
What’s the most important thing in slots? Know what prize you’re playing for. When it comes to prizing, every machine is different. Even if they look the same, two machines can pay very differently.
The paytable is the key to knowing your slot machine’s payouts. It shows you the prize value, winning symbol combinations, and which bet sizes correspond to each prize.
Be sure to understand the winning combinations so you’ll know how to tell a real win from a disappointment.
Tip
Find pay tables and help screens on the machines – through a ‘help’ button or “i” on the touch screens. Or ask a slot attendant for assistance. Slot attendants are always available and happy to answer any questions.
Tip
Check the paytable to know that machine’s top prize and your odds of winning it.
Real Wins vs. False Wins
Sometimes on slot machines, it’s not always easy to tell if you win or lose. It’s possible to get winning combinations of paylines and earn back credits, but not necessarily the full amount that you bet. Pay attention to the amount of the win versus how much you paid for that spin.
Tip
Sometimes a machine will flash and make noises that seem like a win when you’ve actually lost money on that spin.
FALSE WINS IN ACTION
When you win less than what you bet, you've actually lost.
This is called a 'False Win'.
The flashy lights, loud noises and fancy graphics, make it look like you've won, but they’re for your entertainment only. How do you tell the difference?
Hit SPIN to see the difference between a false win and a real win.
FALSE WIN
The win is less than the bet.REAL WIN
The win is more than the bet.http://kdvr.com/2017/11/15/casino-customers-prosecuted-for-playing-abandoned-slot-credits/
Assuming the casino isn't forced to bring charges against the players stealing $2 or whatever, it'd be much better in about every possible way to:
1. Don't worry about it, let it go. Only 'go after' the sleezebags that are buffalo hunting / silver mining, or whatever you call it (people who walk the aisles, cashing out anything they see).
2. Next time player is in the casino, confront them and tell them they can't play off abandoned credits.
3. Put up some signs or some disclaimer saying it's illegal to play off abandoned credits, but still follow #1 and #2 above.
A dozen or so cases involved what appeared to be intentional criminal behavior: Cheating at roulette, wandering around slot machine to slot machine looking for credits, failing to honor a raise in poker, and failing to provide valid identification for IRS purposes after winning a $1,000 jackpot.
Wait, wut?
Signage would be a simple matter.
Slot Machine Cancelled Credits 2020
I abandoned a $16 Tito and security gave two chits. They pull out every ticket with not a care, not really sure what they do about hunting down the rightful owners. Supposedly it all goes to charity, but I'm not sure I believe it.
I think it depends on the staff roster as some staff are diligently doing the job to the casino specs others are a bit more relaxed. I have on an odd occasion left money in a machine gone back and it is gone, at the cage I mentioned to the cashier that it should have been more to enter into my cage account than what I was depositing, she ask why I told her about left ticket etc ie it’s long gone, she got a suit to come with me to machine no one there no money etc Next day at cage withdrawal of day bank I was asked to wait, after some time a suit gave me paperwork for $120 odd claim . They tracked down the other person and got the cash from them. On another occasion I had dropped a ticket somewhere, afterwards I realised went to a host and told them and was told in reply too bad the casino is not responsible etc. that person didn’t know casinos rules etc. no I didn’t get cash back on that one.
So yes it is a rule re casino owners of all money on property, if staff find chips etc they are not allowed to pick up as a finder keeps they must direct security to the place it ( chip) is located. Now if I find a amount in machine I pop the ticket and give to host at main counter take their name and number just in case I have to clarify myself in the future.
If I find cash or chips on floor at table or in cash dispenser I keep ,and have not been approached in that regard ever.
We have plastic money , static electricity sticks the notes to top of inside of cash change dispenser , so people cash a $2000 ticket don’t count the Bill’s dispensed, walk away leaving a couple of hundred still in machines, you happen to be next and nice bonus, I might add if the person was just in front of me I alert them to the oversight and give them the cash , they are thankful but don’t tip ha ha , if no one was before me and I don’t take the cash to host desk , I keep it.
I have been at a baccarat table when security have taken some one off table and ask for a few hundred dollars that person had received from the day before as an over payment from a dealer mistake the day before , they explained that it’s a mistake yes but it’s up to us to be honest etc and correct dealer on the day and give it back then. So now this lady had to pay up or be fined for theft etc.
She paid and was allowed to play on.
I view it as bank error, keep it , as lucky I have not been asked to pay back , I might mention I was also over paid at the same table as the above mentioned lady and I was half expecting to be asked to return some cash as well. They didn’t ask me , I didn’t volunteer, ha ha
We have free phone charger machine here ,6 units per machine type in a password put phone in to recharge close door, collect phone half hr later put in password door open collect phone. So what you say
A few months later a security and police tap on your shoulder, you are accused of stealing a phone, you have to prove you did not , this has not happened to me personally but I have been present when acquaintances have been questioned, a couple I’m sure would not steal but the other one maybe.
I do not drink as I have to drive to and from the casino, I do not drink as I gamble, completely hard wired rule once upon arrival I bought a juice and was walking between blackjack tables back counting ( in the old days pre automatic shuffle machine) saw a count in my favour finished rest of juice put glass down and put cash on table for chips ready to play etc. tap tap on shoulder I was taken from table as I had been deemed to be drunk according to camera footage. I took them to bar and located staff members who served me etc security said sorry etc , I missed my count, no big deal , another table later etc
The point being you are on casino property and it’s their rules, a bit like going overseas and shoplifting, difference being your not at home.
Kind regards

At the casino I work at, all found money not claimed goes to the local boys and girls club. Money not paid out on jackpots due to a player being banned or self excluded also goes to charity.

Wow wow wow! If you booked the bet and took the losing ones....unless you're on tribal ground.

Yes, tribal. That's the way all tribal casinos work in Arizona.

Slot Machine Credits Meaning
Pennsylvania does a good job of brainwashing people to think there is not finders keepers, but there is, with qualification. The law they quote with their interpretation doesn't even match up, very much so contrary in meaning.I don't think anyone can be found guilty if they attempt to look for the owner, and they return it to the rightful owner if found. When it comes to casino employees picking up money, they have the tools, should use them, and if not, it's wrong by me.
In Ohio, unclaimed funds laws were changed from $10 minimum to $50 right after the first casinos opened. It might be why the casinos seem lazy, because perhaps it frees them from the responsibility.
