Some off you  might even invest in individual stocks or a mutual fund in a private brokerage account.  So let me ask you what you would do if you got a hot tip from a friend about a tech stock, a "highly volatile" tech stock, that was poised to go through the roof. Maybe they're about to release a new app, and there are rumors that Google is going to buy them out. Maybe you've squirreled away some "mad money...

One of my followers on Twitter, Eddie "Mastersnake" DeSoto (@corvetteflex)  wants to know if there's any way that a slot machine can be made to pay off more often from a remote location, AKA hacking it. Here's what I know. First of all, I know of no documented case in the United States where that is happened. I have heard about it happening in Europe, particularly Eastern Europe. But first, a little background. There are two types of slot machines being used currently, 1 used all over the world and the other only found in North American casinos. The first type is a stand-alone slot machine like you would find in Nevada, or anywhere in the world that there's a corporate-owned casino. What designates them as 'stand alone" is that they have a random number generator chip embedded on their motherboard, and every time you press the spin or play button that RNG provides a number which corresponds with a game result.

I had one of my local readers, here in Reno too, ask me why I don't talk about slot machines more often. So I'll cover that in this post Quite frankly, slot machines not that interesting to me. I rarely play them and when I do play machines it's either penny or nickel video poker or a Keno game. I never, evet play the reel type slots. They just hold no interest for me.

And there were dozens of different ways to shape the machines. You could feed slugs instead of real coins into the machine. You could use a device called a "monkey's paw" to block the optics and cause a machine to pay out more than it should. In yhr real old days, when slot machines were mechanical instead of electrical, you could pop the handle at certain times to cause the reals to stop in a payoff position. None of that can be done anymore. All ...

I just watched an interesting video on YouTube about the total numbers of ways that you can rearrange a deck of 52 cards. It's very interesting video, without going overboard on the math, basically it says that if you had started shuffling at the beginning of time and shuffled a new deck randomly every second, you would still not have duplicated any shuffle (or deck combinations) in 13.8 billion years. think about that the next time you go play video poker.
