I guess I wasn't clear, I was more interested in how these slot machines are checked to make sure that they are paying out what they are supposed to.

Pretty sure the software (firmware) is changed via an IC chip. The chip has been programmed to give back 90 cents on the dollar after, for example, over 1,000,000 spins. Or 92 cents on the dollar after (maybe) a million spins or some other quantity of spins that was predetermined by state gaming authorities.

Each locality has a minimum amount of payback they give (90%, 92% etc) and the higher the denomination like a $25 slot machine, the higher the payback like 95% where the chip has been pre-programmed to payback 95 cents on the dollar over so many spins that are determined by the software/game manufacturers as agreed with by the state's gaming commission. They can just look inside the machine to check if certain seals have been broken so the IC chip wasn't removed. Hope that helps.

Pace View site

Haven’t even able to access Greg’s website. I get “domain name not found.” I believe it was Pace-View.net. Apologize if I missed some sort of announcement regarding it. Is it just me or did it go away?

Thanks

Slim

I get the same message, Slim. NCG hasn't posted in a while. I didn't see any announcement either so the site may be temporarily or permanently unavailable. I don't want to speculate.

Greg is probably too busy counting his slot machine profits.

Where are the other disciples that use the program? They're not posting either.

Thask may be correct. It's probably tough getting those bags of slot machine winnings in the door. He may have hurt his back.

Actually I was in the hospital yet again. I went through life NEVER getting sick...and now that I'm getting older I cant stay healthy. I wasnt able to come up with a new program--sales have been dwindling down, naturally.

The website company wanted another couple hundred dollars for the domain, site, etc....for another year. I couldnt justify spending that kind of money so I let it lapse--and they shut it down.

I'm finally feeling good--but like an old buick....you fix one thing and next week something else goes out.

Feel better Greg. Thanks for all of the good programs that you made available at very reasonable prices not to mention the excellent customer service. Hope you keep cashing at both the races and the slots
