Especially the one about how to beat the house.
They even made a big deal about picking slot machines in the high traffic areas.
Really...I'm shocked, shocked. How old is that one? LOL
I fell asleep during the second episode.
DonDiego concurs. The first show discussing the casino advantage and how to "beat the house" was a decent introduction to the topic. And the little quiz after each exposition on how to apply the techniques was educational.
DonDiego detected one distinct error, however. After a reasonable presentation about the house edge and setting the house edge on individual slot machines, the little quiz posited that all-else-equal one should play the machine with the higher jackpot. This might be accurate on a progressive jackpot, but the example was non-progressive machines, one with a $400 jackpot and another with a $4000 jackpot. Without knowing the house edge on each machine one doesn't know which machine is "better", . . . and it is reasonable to assume one is less likely to hit the $4000 jackpot than the $400 one.
DonDiego also found himself dozing off during the second show, in spite of the presence of Anthony Curtis. It was just too-o-o-o, . . . z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z.
