Thanks for the tips! Tried to go to your FB page and I can’t find it today. Is there an issue with it (or maybe I’m just tired and not searching right). Lol
Here’s my complete gambling history- not in Vegas but in Central City, Colorado. Walked into the casino, joined the free Players Club, which entitled me to a free pull on a slot machine. I won $10. I then proceeded to the restaurant, where my Players Club card entitled me to a prime rib dinner for $8.95. Ate my dinner and left.
@NoRemorse Imagine living there sure people must do that in different location so it won't be noticed and you have some days until such a bonus can work again
Actually the time is printed on every slot machine ticket. If you are playing and want to know the time, just hit the CASH OUT button, look dead center at the bottom of the ticket to see the time. Simply reinsert the ticket to keep playing.
I am such a ‘non-consumer’ that Vegas would go bust if they depended on me for any income. But people watching is the funnest part of going to Las Vegas.😎
I went to Las Vegas once...it was awful. My strategy for dealing with casinos was to buy a couple of rolls of nickels and play slots and people watch until the nickels were gone...took about and cost about as much as a movie. They can't outsneak my sense of stingy...
Great information! The only thing I would disagree with is not betting the maximum on slot machines. The payout on a winning hit is multiplied much more than a single credit hit. Mathematically, in order to get the highest return, you need to bet the maximum number of credits. Also, higher denomination machines are set to a much higher payback percentage than low denomination machines. Penny machines are the biggest money maker in any casino. That being said, gambling should always be seen as an expectation of loss. Never gamble more than you can afford to lose.
I would hope that most people realize that that is what Vegas does. It’s called gambling after all. When I used to go, I saw it as entertainment and decided how much I wanted to spend for a night of entertainment, once I hit that mark, I would stop gambling. Winning is a fluke, a nice fluke, but a fluke.
I don’t gamble much but I’ve been to Vegas 12 times (often for work) and when i gamble, do exactly as you. I see it as entertainment and considering how much I’m willing to spend for it (I.e how much I’m willing to lose).
@@JamesG1126 I'm handicapped so I don't golf. Gambling is a way for me to budget for entertainment and be a bit competitive. Try not to feel too superior to the way others choose to spend their own time and money, perhaps?
Thanks for posting this video to expose what some of us already knew about the ways Las Vegas casinos play mind tricks on their visitors. I guess it doesn’t really matter because people keep going back for more! 😂
I also noticed there are no seats in common areas of Las Vegas . There is nowhere to sit if you need a rest unless of course it's a restaurant or a slot machine . Casinos have also always targeted smokers , they love the addictive personalities which is also another reason they hand out free liquor
Noticed this unfortunately a few days ago (was in Vegas on business and not gambling) -- my wife broke her toe a few weeks back and really needed to sit down and adjust her splint, and it was impossible before we finally just found an empty set of blackjack tables after walking what felt like 1/4 mile. I immediately thought, "this is no accident"
@@JamesG1126 When my friends were coming to Vegas I would take 4 bucks in nickels and play nickel pino usually I'd win about 50 to 80 bucks because no one ever plays those machines hardly at all they've lose all their money and I'm that I ended up buying everybody breakfast nobody breakfast also if you go in there and you just play aren't you just playing a few bucks here and there you drink free so that's the only real reason for gambling
I lived in Las Vegas in the late 80s and early 90s . They just nickel and dime you to death on everything. I feel it's not worth it anymore to go . My dad used to tell me the casino s are nice place to visit your money.
What I think is a scam is you have to pay for parking at the casinos (MGM) now even though you are a guest there. Parking is expensive up to $15 a day. Also the resort fees are another scam that doesn’t cover parking only internet gym and pool. Not to mention the tourist tax they sneak in your hotel stay.
Along with rip-off Casinos, there comes other rip offs as well. Some twenty years ago, I bought $5 ice cream with $50 bill at an ice cream shop inside a downtown casino and the bill went into cash register so very fast.., and when I asked for $45 change, I was told it's $5 bill. On the strip, I bought a $3 regular size apple with a $20 bill, and once again, I was told it's a $5 bill, and received a $2 change. On the downtown taxi ride, the driver refused to return the $15 change. Sadly, that was my last trip to Sin City. 😔
'Fleecing tourists' has become a norm in many touristy places such as Vegas. 😂 😂 😂 "The biggest rip offs are the casino games themselves. They're always stacked in the house's favor". By the way, here's my suggestion for thy compulsive addicted high roller/gamblers alike, that it may be therapeutic to come stay at a place like Alaska/Hawaii where there are no gambling whatsoever., no casinos, no lottery, etc. Stay here for a year or two till your compulsive gambling addiction (that little devil inside you) is all but gone. It's worth it friends.
@@60gregma Because I follow the channel. Because I sometimes enjoy learning about things even if I'm not going to engage in the activity. Because I may want to share what I learn with friends or family who gamble. Because often scams in one area/industry can also be adapted and used in others. Etc., etc., etc.
@rob9876...I get free rooms, no resort fees, free food and free slot play at all MGM properties, Golden Nugget, Harrahs and Caesar properties and I'm no high roller. I visit those properties in Tunica and Biloxi and somehow I started receving offers about 10 years ago. I am a .60-.75 slot player but I also play 3 card poker and blackjack. Now I visit Vegas every other year staying at the Bellagio, MGM Grand or Caesars.
I guess I'm a more exclusive traveler. Never have been attracted to casinos and I hardly call them resorts yet they charge resort fees while making people wait in long lines to check into a room. Not my cup of tea. I get that it's stimulating for many people, though. I appreciate these videos to help keep peoples money in their own pocket and out of these corporators hands.
FYI, the video machines that are linked to celebrities, game shows, (ones like wheel of fortune), etc also get a 25% cut of your money right off the top before the casino gets there cut and then taxes! You get less than half of any jackpot you hit. That guy that just won the $1.2 million jackpot recently was a friend of Dana White's and he called the guy live on a podcast Dana was on and he broke down how much they each took of the jackpot and he said he walked away with just under $600K! Still a lot yes but when you think you've just become a millionaire and then everyone comes in with their hand out it kinda sucks! Great video, you definitely were right about all their tactics!
Behind the lights & glamour are a lot of very depressed people who gambled away far too much money. Years ago there were NO children. Now Vegas touts it as "family" oriented. I can't think of a worse place for a "family" trip. Duh. Parents boozing & throwing away needed family money.
Hi Jordan..., Excellent video and very informative, and thank you for sharing the video... I hope that "May" is with you in Las Vegas, Nevada... * If "May" is with you in ( Lost Wages )..., I would like to know what "May" thinks of Las Vegas, Nevada ? Looking forward to your next video, thank you for sharing the video... Your friend, Mike in Montana P.S.: It was nice to see you with Jacob..., (JacobsLifeInVegas)... Mike :)
I once found a purse with about $700 in it in the bathroom at the Bellagio and I wished I would’ve looked at the ID and tried to contact the person on Facebook if I could’ve found them. I gave the purse to the casino cashier desk. Not knowing if they’re gonna even contact the person and keep the money. I guess I will never know.
All good pointers, one thing that annoys me with slot machines is false apparent odds. For example, the Wheel of Fortune games, about 20 or so spots on the wheel but far, far lower than 1/20 odds of hitting the "1000". As mentioned, the chip decides what you've won when you first bet--but then the fake sounds as the 1000 comes up... and you land just past it on 35...
Great video! I loved to see you back here in my town. I think everything you said was spot on and useful for travelers. Great job!! Let’s show some good parts of my city next time. I’m sure you will. I love the direction you are taking with your channel.
Here's the thing, if you come to Vegas expecting to make money you're doing it wrong. I fully expect to lose all the money I put in the slot machines but at least I'll get a kickback on room comps. I much rather lose money and get comps then lose money AND pay for rooms.
Captain obvious video. How about making a video about "How bars get you to drink." 1. Theres lots of liquor behind the bar. 2. Theres a bartender 3. Theres chairs 4. Theres a restroom in the back.
Damn, I'm turning 19 this year and watching videos like this, is honestly making me feel like I shouldn't get myself caught into casinos. I'm glad I saw this video because this just gave me the motivation on what not to do whenever I might wanna get buzzed😏😂
Good video and great points on all this. The only one that is a myth is the "pumping of oxygen" in casinos. The pumping of scents is very true, but it's illegal to actually pump oxygen into a building. It's a huge fire hazard, if they did and someone lights up a cigarette it would cause an explosion. You would hear of a lot of casino fires if true. one other item I would add, slots now pay out odd amounts, like bet $3 and win 66 cents, vs winning even amounts. That way it's much more likely you'll end up with some odd amount like $1.89 left when you are running out of money and put in more money, where as before you could just bet off the $1 remaining in the machine and run.
Hi Jordan!! Guess what we we’re in Vegas at the same time as you! We were there from the 12 till the 16th! Love Britain Jordons! Hope he makes another appearance! We spent 4 weeks in Mexico in Puebla, Mexico City, Oaxaca city puerto Escondido and Acapulco.
Basically what you are saying is true, and it is really not news (at least not to me)... HOWEVER!!! WHY are you using the word "SCAM" and "DIRTY" tricks (tricks is okay)... Look up the definition of a scam, I think that you are being a little harsh. Casinos are in the exact same business like any other business (to make money). If you look at your video, I think you can see that they are smart, not scammers or dirty/dishonest; tricky, smart maybe, but not scammers (or am I missing something???)
1:00 This is very clever on the way the mind works, if you are presented with a 90* angle on a path, you decide if its worth staying on the path you are on, or which way to go. This will make a lot of people to leave the casino, which doesnt help the casino. Therefore, you will never see a 90* intersection in a casino
These casinos sound like going to the mountains with all of this fresh cool air, a lot of oxygen, and losing the sense of time they are providing .... haha!
That was a good one about your villa bud. I was already going to ask you how did you get your villa comped? You must of gambled a lot! Lol I’m glad I seen your video towards the end when you said what are all these people doing in my villa 😂😂😂 Good one 👍🏻
The change thing really irked me the last time I was in Las Vegas. Venetian and Caesars related casinos did give back the full amount, including the few cents in change. It was the MGM properties that did not give back change. That upset me, because I do a lot of gambling at their group of casinos in the Tropicana/Strip area.
Alway watch how many credits you have left. I always use up all my credits, even if it means less than full prize payouts. There is no reason to give money for nothing to the cadinos.
Nice tips, Jordan, but I may never go to Vegas. I prefer travel to cultural and historical locals like Mexico. I will, however, support your channel and watch you enjoy yourself there.
Vegas isn't just the strip.. there are some great museums.. the mob museum.. Zac baggins horror museum. Natural history museum.. also the old Mormon fort historical site. Valley of fire state park.. red Rock scenic loop.. mount Charleston. Amazing restaurants that aren't on the strip..
I use to work in casinos in Reno in the mid 80s and I know what Casinos do. The problem is, no matter what someone says about Gambling, not Gaming, very few people listen, unfortunately Gambling is an intoxicant, just like any other drug. Alcoholics and or addicts cannot drink, gamble or whatever and that’s why Vegas has a lot of homeless. Good Luck..
You didn’t mention “shields” were the casinos pay someone to sit in front of a machine that they know is going to hit the jackpot but the player doesn’t get the pay out. But does get an agreed amount for their service.
I had police escort me out of I think the Flamingo casino not sure which casino but I was just playing someone's money that was left on the slot machine they saw me checking the machine and playing it. 🎰
Happy to see your Vegas videos once again. A good comprehensive list of gambling "scams" or tricks. One correction: 88 credits at a 10 cent machine is $8.80, not $88 as you stated (I'm sure you caught this one already. I would add the attempt at newer casinos (like Resorts World) to part you from your money is the cashless system they're using. I will not fall for this one. Great job as always!
Extra oxygen pumped into the casino is complete Bullsh*t. Logic should tell you that oxygen accelerates fires. Las Vegas has a bad history with the MGM fire in the 80"s where dozens died. So no way are they going to add to endanger customers with oxygen added to a casino.
It was proven to be BS years ago. Logic would tell you the size of the buildings and the doors being open most of the time it wouldn't work. The AC is because hot bloody air is coming in most of the time.
#19 I'm the guy that goes around looking for that money left in a machine. While In Vegas in 2019, I grabbed 47 tickets that added up to a grand total of $16. Gave that money to my wife and she flipped it to $80 in another slot machine. I've been doing for years, but it wasn't until 2021 when I found out that taking tickets that were left behind could be illegal. So, did I stop? Nope. I'm just more careful now. I'll actually sit down, put my ticket in, cash out, and go to the next machine.
I go to Vegas to stay at resorts off strip and lounge by the pool and go to shows or things like the aquarium or the beautiful Wynn buffet and other attractions. We went up in the high roller last time, views were insane. We haven't been since before the pandemic and are about to go this summer to stay at tahiti village, I'm seriously looking forward to the vegas show girl mermaid at the man made beach they have there, and lounging around in inner tubes at the lazy river. My kids don't really remember it from last time, they were only 2 & 4 so I'm also looking forward to them seeing Tournament of Kings for the "first" time lol Skip the gambling, there's more fun to be had
Great info . Besides Vegas adding fees on top of fees .,( parking. Resorts Etc. ) , Vegas policy of changing odds , i.e., trip 0 on roulette, 6 to 5 odds on blackjack. That’s disgusting and money grubbing greed. .. i went twice in ‘90 with a gal had a great time made a little money., but Vegas isn’t for me anymore…

They don't want locals. Only degenerate gamblers from out of town. You poors are not welcome
Hotels all over the country now charge for parking and resort fees.
The tourist tax is to fund the Raiders Stadium. As we all know the NFL is broke and can't afford to build stadiums on their own money.

2. Theres a bartender
3. Theres chairs
4. Theres a restroom in the back.
Damn, I'm turning 19 this year and watching videos like this, is honestly making me feel like I shouldn't get myself caught into casinos. I'm glad I saw this video because this just gave me the motivation on what not to do whenever I might wanna get buzzed😏😂
Thanks for the info. I’ll be in Las Vegas July 1st
You sounded just like Derek Zoolander! Lol 😂
Good video and great points on all this.
The only one that is a myth is the "pumping of oxygen" in casinos. The pumping of scents is very true, but it's illegal to actually pump oxygen into a building. It's a huge fire hazard, if they did and someone lights up a cigarette it would cause an explosion. You would hear of a lot of casino fires if true.
one other item I would add, slots now pay out odd amounts, like bet $3 and win 66 cents, vs winning even amounts. That way it's much more likely you'll end up with some odd amount like $1.89 left when you are running out of money and put in more money, where as before you could just bet off the $1 remaining in the machine and run.
THE PLEASURE IS MOYN. CHEERIO. I’m freakin dying 🤣🤣🤣
There biggest scam is RESORT FEES, and drinks are not free, you are paying for those with your loses..
The carpets are designed so if you drop a chip, there is a chance you won’t find it. Then when they vacuum, the casino gets all those chips.
This is just pure scum but I would n not put it past them
I’ve never been to LV and don’t care to go but all these trick coming from sin city, if it makes dollars it makes sense 😧
British Jordan started to sound like Derek Zoolander!
Lol!!! I’m so embarrassed. The villa shot totally tricked me. I was like dang this guy gets some serious comps. Lol!!
Thank you for this video!!!
💕👍😄🇺🇸
Hi Jordan!! Guess what we we’re in Vegas at the same time as you! We were there from the 12 till the 16th!
Love Britain Jordons! Hope he makes another appearance!
We spent 4 weeks in Mexico in Puebla, Mexico City, Oaxaca city puerto Escondido and Acapulco.
Im happy to see you back in vegas!!! These are the videos that made me subscribe to you 👍
I second that. I enjoy his Vegas videos
"There's a sucker born every minute"...
That's the Casinos motto
Basically what you are saying is true, and it is really not news (at least not to me)... HOWEVER!!! WHY are you using the word "SCAM" and "DIRTY" tricks (tricks is okay)... Look up the definition of a scam, I think that you are being a little harsh. Casinos are in the exact same business like any other business (to make money). If you look at your video, I think you can see that they are smart, not scammers or dirty/dishonest; tricky, smart maybe, but not scammers (or am I missing something???)
1:00 This is very clever on the way the mind works, if you are presented with a 90* angle on a path, you decide if its worth staying on the path you are on, or which way to go. This will make a lot of people to leave the casino, which doesnt help the casino. Therefore, you will never see a 90* intersection in a casino
That is the worst british accent I have ever heard by far😂
These casinos sound like going to the mountains with all of this fresh cool air, a lot of oxygen, and losing the sense of time they are providing .... haha!
Very good video
I agree with all of this, and have known about it for awhile, but still gamble wayyy too much and love vegas!
Lmao 😁 i learned my lesson not to get too drunk all bad
That was a good one about your villa bud. I was already going to ask you how did you get your villa comped? You must of gambled a lot! Lol I’m glad I seen your video towards the end when you said what are all these people doing in my villa 😂😂😂 Good one 👍🏻
Jordan, you did a really great job on this. I just found it.
I love all of these "tricks"
I've never been drawn to gambling. Something about my not enjoying losing money.
Why did you stop at twenty-five?
The change thing really irked me the last time I was in Las Vegas. Venetian and Caesars related casinos did give back the full amount, including the few cents in change. It was the MGM properties that did not give back change. That upset me, because I do a lot of gambling at their group of casinos in the Tropicana/Strip area.
Alway watch how many credits you have left. I always use up all my credits, even if it means less than full prize payouts. There is no reason to give money for nothing to the cadinos.
Nice tips, Jordan, but I may never go to Vegas. I prefer travel to cultural and historical locals like Mexico. I will, however, support your channel and watch you enjoy yourself there.
Vegas isn't just the strip.. there are some great museums.. the mob museum.. Zac baggins horror museum. Natural history museum.. also the old Mormon fort historical site. Valley of fire state park.. red Rock scenic loop.. mount Charleston. Amazing restaurants that aren't on the strip..
I use to work in casinos in Reno in the mid 80s and I know what
Casinos do. The problem is, no matter what someone says about Gambling, not Gaming, very few people listen, unfortunately Gambling is an intoxicant, just like any other drug. Alcoholics and or addicts cannot drink, gamble or whatever and that’s why Vegas has a lot of homeless. Good Luck..
Very informative thank you.
You didn’t mention “shields” were the casinos pay someone to sit in front of a machine that they know is going to hit the jackpot but the player doesn’t get the pay out. But does get an agreed amount for their service.
I go to Vegas mostly for the shows and the pools.
Same here!
You mean people actually lose when they go to Vegas? Everyone I know that goes to Vegas comes back and claims they won
Greetings to May and You from Las Vegas
With all these negatives about Vegas you speak about, why are you there?
I haven’t been watching TT for too long but I can honestly say I’ve been waiting for a Vegas video 😂
You are very wise little grasshopper.
I had police escort me out of I think the Flamingo casino not sure which casino but I was just playing someone's money that was left on the slot machine they saw me checking the machine and playing it. 🎰
Happy to see your Vegas videos once again. A good comprehensive list of gambling "scams" or tricks. One correction: 88 credits at a 10 cent machine is $8.80, not $88 as you stated (I'm sure you caught this one already. I would add the attempt at newer casinos (like Resorts World) to part you from your money is the cashless system they're using. I will not fall for this one. Great job as always!
Max bet on that machine was actually 880 credits not 88
@@TangerineTravels oh OK. My bad!
Oh, it's true, it's damn true. Thanks for sharing. Awesome video 👍
Wow 😳…that’s crazy stuff. I’ve only been once .. with kids… so we didn’t do casinos.
I have used those change vouchers to tip the maid. No complaints yet!😁
Extra oxygen pumped into the casino is complete Bullsh*t. Logic should tell you that oxygen accelerates fires. Las Vegas has a bad history with the MGM fire in the 80"s where dozens died. So no way are they going to add to endanger customers with oxygen added to a casino.
It was proven to be BS years ago. Logic would tell you the size of the buildings and the doors being open most of the time it wouldn't work. The AC is because hot bloody air is coming in most of the time.
Thanks for this
#19 I'm the guy that goes around looking for that money left in a machine. While In Vegas in 2019, I grabbed 47 tickets that added up to a grand total of $16. Gave that money to my wife and she flipped it to $80 in another slot machine. I've been doing for years, but it wasn't until 2021 when I found out that taking tickets that were left behind could be illegal. So, did I stop? Nope.
I'm just more careful now. I'll actually sit down, put my ticket in, cash out, and go to the next machine.
Me to be having. Pocket full once found over 100 dollars in circus circus in just slips on the floor on the machine
Just stack them up and cash out all at once when you leave with the cashier
These are things you learn as you go, and once known things i like about going there.
Dude, you really need to lose the creepy stache
I just stay on the east coast so I don’t have to worry about Vegas 😊 good video
I go to Vegas to stay at resorts off strip and lounge by the pool and go to shows or things like the aquarium or the beautiful Wynn buffet and other attractions. We went up in the high roller last time, views were insane. We haven't been since before the pandemic and are about to go this summer to stay at tahiti village, I'm seriously looking forward to the vegas show girl mermaid at the man made beach they have there, and lounging around in inner tubes at the lazy river. My kids don't really remember it from last time, they were only 2 & 4 so I'm also looking forward to them seeing Tournament of Kings for the "first" time lol Skip the gambling, there's more fun to be had
All the trick are totally true, I never find the exit.
Great info . Besides Vegas adding fees on top of fees .,( parking. Resorts Etc. ) , Vegas policy of changing odds , i.e., trip 0 on roulette, 6 to 5 odds on blackjack. That’s disgusting and money grubbing greed. .. i went twice in ‘90 with a gal had a great time made a little money., but Vegas isn’t for me anymore…
Also the max bet will automatically be selected when you sit down to play. I have played it without thinking on the 1st spin a few times.
No. 8 is true. Casinos increase oxygen level of 3% than in normal air:)
Top shelf liquor
If Vegas is so full of scamming then why did you go?? I havent been to Vegas in a 100 years, and i can care less.
With the very high cost of gas, I wonder if casinos will have to bus people to gamble
They have been doing that for years in Atlantic City
If I'm cold then I'm leaving. I hate being cold!
Elephant in the background scared the crap out of me!!!!!
