Our Nickel Test

In our unflagging devotion to information overload, the Big Empire staff has conducted a rigorous test of the slots in Las Vegas. Following standard scientific protocol, we conducted a single test involving a single slot and a single nickel at each hotel to determine how loose all the slots were over the long-term. The following table ranks the casinos by our results,so that you'll be better able to pick a winning casino (please note, your results may vary, but since we were so very scientific, we can't imagine how). We have not yet tested all casinos because our Federal research grant has run out of money (five cents at a time), but as soon as the Senate approves more money, we'll finish the list.

HOT SLOTS!

In our testing, the following casinos proved almost too good to be true. Based on our sample, Buffalo Bill's at Stateline pays out a whopping 400%! How can they make money? We're guessing they charge a ton for the buffet.

 Casino  Sample Machine  Payout  Payback %
Buffalo Bill's Midas Touch 20 cents 400%
San Remo 5000 Plus 10 cents  200%
Caesar's 7 Bar 5 cents  100% 
Fitzgerald's Nevada Nickels 5 cents 100% 
Prima Valley Casino Cold Cash  5 cents 100% 

COLD AS ICE...

No wonder they can afford those fancy lasers and all the shampoo in the bathrooms. These casinos didn't pay a cent during our testing. Other people around us seem to be winning, but science doesn't lie
