I relate it to a brand-new restaurant opening. So no, just because it’s a new machine, doesn’t mean anything.
But here are some of the most important lessons to learn… It’s very easy to ‘stereotype’ a machine based on the first time you play it, or during a big win or loss. I find this to be in a very similar category to beliefs that slots are tighter on weekends, holidays or during renovations. This is a topic that I’m asked about a lot, something my buddy Jason often refers to as slot machines being in their ‘honeymoon phase’, where casinos want to hook you in with a NEW game and loosen the slot. John Lloyd asks, Do casinos make slots machines loose when they first introduce them at their casinos?
