Saw a new Brian Christopher video that perplexes me. Please put your input in if you've played slots at MGM properties, preferably ARIA, but his latest video has a brand new(like on the casino floor) variant of wheel of fortune multi-denom(1,2,5,10 cent) game in a livestream. He's allegedly the first person to play this IGT slot on a casino floor, and has an IGT sponsored giveaway in the description box. Take that into consideration.
I was watching him play for 40 minutes and noticed that his slot points didn't change much. IIRC, besides a few exceptions, most slot machines at Aria give you 1 base point for $3 of coin-in play, and this machine according to Brian Christopher allegedly gives you a 5x base point bonus. This doesn't take account into the mlife tier benefits that give an extra 10%/20%/30%/40%, but a guy like him probably at least would get some benefit for pouring a lot of money into these things and probably has to be above entry level. Let's be generous and assume he got no bonus benefit at all and he's starting at entry level
Anyway, here's a screencap of the base points at 3 minutes:
Here's a screencap of the base points at ~43 minutes:
Let's assume he got 129 session points or $387 coin-in. His bets during the video made me think there's something going on, because he was betting anywhere from 2-15$ a spin. So I got a notepad and literally wrote down the spins up to that 43 minute:
Excluding free spins, he had around (20+19+34+13+7) ninety-three $6 dollar spins ALONE. That's around $558 dollar coin-in or a bare minimum of 186 session points before any mlife or machine specific bonus.7 spins at $6 at 32744 points
8 free spins at $6
13 spins at $6
10 spins at $3
44 spins at $4.50
34 spins at $6.00
8 free spins at $6
14 spins at $9
15 spins at $9
6 spins at $15
19 spins at $6
8 free spins at $6
20 spins at $6
17 spins at $9 end at 32873 points
Adding it all together:
10 spins *$3 = $30 - 10 base points
44 spins * $4.50 = $198 - 66 base points
93 spins * $6 = $558 coin-in - 186 base points
46 spins * $9 = $414 coin-in - 138 base points
6 spins * $15 = $90 coin-in - 30 base points
Total is $1290 coin-in . Instead of getting $3 coin-in for one point at base level with no machine bonus - this alleged slot machine gives you the same amount of coin-in as a video poker machine at $10 for one point .
I wouldn't of posted so soon after my last post, but as he's bouncing around machines in the same video, he hits an older thanksgiving buffalo machine at around the 57 minute mark, we get to see the points accumulate.
This video has him betting $2.50 and getting almost a new base point per pull which is close to the $3 coin-in to 1 point ratio stated on MGM's website. This is way faster than the wheel of fortune game, which makes no sense as this wheel of fortune variant doesn't even have the 5x bonus. I really don't want to assume anything, and would love to be corrected from the smart people at PFA, but that has to either be technical error or something shady on this Wheel of Fortune variant. My brain can't wrap around a penny slot that has the same amount of coin-in to point ratio as a videopoker machine.
An actual super-chat somebody posted in that livestream which validates my posting of this thread in my opinion:
Not even the biggest superchat donation as some Rudie whale named bob donated $200 and does these high donations frequently.
