Since nobody has replied yet (and I'm no guru about these things):
Is the manufacturer of the machine IGT? There was a recent QoD about "Advantage Player" displaying on a slot machine. The answer from LVA (and a reader who posted a link): Something like "Advantage" is the name IGT has given some of their (newer?) machines. Might be what you were seeing, might not.
Me, when something odd happens like that, I put the service light on and ask the attendant about it.
Caveats: 1) right now "service" is slower than prior to the pandemic, and 2) often the attendant will not know about such things, will probably 'radio' for a slot tech, which will take even longer as slot techs are also an endangered species in the pandemic. But worth a try. Not to sound bitchy about the service, etc., just how it is sometimes. They are all stretched.

Naah, it's much more likely that he stumbled on a way to exploit a flaw in the machine's programming and the alarm was sounded, warning that he was about to take the casino for tens of millions. Security was alerted and the guys downstairs were told to mix up a batch of concrete for some new shoes, but he left before they got there (they're so inefficient these days).
I would like to see a report on the various advantage player disposal techniques used by casinos across the nation. Obviously, it's very easy if the casino is on a river or other body of water. Las Vegas casinos were always handicapped by the need to drive out into the desert and dig a hole. Labor-intensive; time-consuming.
A couple of years ago, I was playing video keno and a message popped up on the screen: "DISADVANTAGE PLAYER" followed by a graphic of a clown laughing. That may or may not have been related to what Brent experienced. I was using my battle-tested method of marking only prime numbers. I once won $4.80 with that strategy.
I don't remember the details, but "Advantage Player" was some verbage that shows on the players club display on the machines at certain casinos (I think Boyd, but I could be wrong, might have been Stations; one or the other). Unfortunate name for the club or software or whatever, but it had nothing to do with being an AP. This was a couple of years ago, I bet you could find it by searching some of the gambling forums. I think it was before the new forum format here on LVA, so you wouldn't be able to search it here, the content of the old forum is gone.
