Slot search.Skill- based slots.?

Elvira and Family Feud in downtown?

I like boobs and then there is a small area of SKILL SLOTS.

 "Survey says."...

If family feud has a truly extra bonus round that tests your knowledge of what the survey people says,who is in control of the survey?Are these people in the survey from the East coast? Different attitudes are widly variable.

What is COKE to an East coaster?

Same question to a mid-west resident.

What pizza topping is the most popular?

What is a "PIE"

Apple or pepperoni?

Are there slots that have a bonus round that tests your skill or knowledge level?

Skill pinball 2047 may be one.

Casino games.

I'm really NOT a slot player,but give me a chance to make more coins in a slot,based on my knowledge? I'm in.

Should  I take some random pay outs against a game that tests your skills? Yes, I'll try the skill /knowledge game.

Slots: "You have to get lucky".May I slightly change that?

BJ: A lot of skill/knowledge is involved.

Roulette or bubble craps:none.

Poker: a LOT of skill.

VP: basic skills.

Sports betting: A lot of study.

Golf: tons of skill and a bit of luck.

Big wheel: You are an idiot.

Craps: get lucky + money management.

Bottom line: KNOW THE GAME.

Have fun and be happy that you will win or lose those round things.

Always tip your dealers and servers.

I dont think the "skill slots" add up to much gain for players.  The house edge is still through the roof.

Traditional penny slots might give 91% payback.

Skill slots might give 90% payback to a weak skilled player and 92% payback to a high skilled player.

I think that this game is no more.

It was a penny slot.

Dave dear, despite the complexity of the "Help" screen, there is no skill in playing a slot.  They are fun, bonus rounds are fun, but as for being "games of skill", that was an old term used when the result of a reel spin, you could take it or spin again for a better result.  If you'd have gotten three cherries you probably wouldn't go for the re-spin (since 3 cherries would be a winner), though you could (but you might have gotten nada.  If you got two cherries on the reel you could spin once more and hope the third one filled in.  This allowed the casino to call it "games of skill" for some legal requirement to operate.  But now mostly when you pull the handle or push the button, regular round, bonus round, whatever will happen will happen, almost zero control by the player.

**One exception that I know of, just recently saw it at Laughlin.  Some kind of "wheel" slot (not Wheel of Fortune).   Push the button, watch the three or four reels fill in with little green or blue or red hairy looking cartoony monsters, among other things.  The red monsters pay more.  If you get three "wheels" you get to spin a wheel.  The wheel might land on an amount of money.   If the wheel lands on "Bonus", another wheel spins to land on 8, 16, or 38 "fish."  Start that round and these "fish" come swimming on the screen.  You slap as many fish as you can catch swimming up and down.  Each is worth a certain number of money.  Many of them give you one or two or three additional "fish" to slap.  At some point you have slapped all that you could (of the total number) and what you won is the total of the slapped fish values.  It is fun and can win you a few dollars.  Whew, that was a lot to describe!

Ask me about High Card Flush.  My new favorite game (table game).  I'm worn out describing the fish!

Hi Candy,

High Card Flush has a house edge of 2.7% when played optimally. However, when watching people play this game, I've had the absolute feeling that they were playing anything but optimally.

It's a raise-or-fold game. And like all such games, much of the player-fuckup house edge (as opposed to the inherent house edge) is that players don't fold often enough. In HCF, the player should Raise (as opposed to fold) a wee bit more than 2/3 of the time. But when I was watching, no one EVER folded, except when the best they could put together was a two-card low-ranking flush. Sometimes, not even then. People hate to give up, even when they should. See: other games, such as Crazy Four Poker and all the various Hold 'Em bastardizations.

The house edge is a bit too high for me, but then, I occasionally play Pai Gow Poker, which had a house edge almost as bad--primarily because for the same size bets, I get rated as if I was playing a much faster game, such as blackjack. That, and the high frequency of pushes (almost half the time) means that I have very little risk of getting pounded through the floor. It's cheap amusement. Have 100 drinks before you lose $100 and you've beaten the game, that's what I say.

Here's the Wiz's article on HCF (no, not hydrocarbon flouride):

https://wizardofodds.com/games/high-card-flush/

The most valuable skill in playing skill slots is you see them, you keep right on walking. That skill is mighty hard to develop for some people, but for me, it's like seeing a pile of poop and not going out of my way to step in it.

Thanks, Kevin.  Raise with a two card flush?  Never heard of that.  The house wins with us playing the Flush and especially the Straight Flush spots every time.  Some folks are disciplined enough to only bet their ante.  But you want to kick yourself if you get a nice four card or higher Flush or especially SF.

I've followed the Wiz and fold any Jack high three card and Queen-7 three card.  (Though the Wiz's program sometimes says bet Q-7?  Not me.) Dealer qualifies with a 9 high which is often beaten (if you have anything to raise on).

I like the slowness of the game, nobody else's cards affect mine, mine don't affect anyone else's, no real decision making except what you have in your hand.  While I've been killed every time (and quickly) playing HCF on the Strip, I now wait for a Laughlin trip for that game.
