at most of the properties unless they granted you a late night check-in. There are other practical considerations with the schedule I was keeping – because my need to work during the day meant having overlapping hotel bookings, I also needed to make sure I was there before the comp room cancellation time kicked in, which is 9 p.m. Based on the window of time I had a day, which was 5-6 hours, realistically you can comfortably visit 3 casinos without being rushed. In my Cash + Free Play bankroll post I noted that Atlantic City, being a competitive market, meant lots of offers coming from lots of directions. Many games have pretty easily spotted visual clues when they’re in a strong position.

So this is just a reminder that just keeping your eyes open you can spot opportunities. But because I had my eyes open, I was able to capitalize on my find. I was not planning on gambling at all when I tripped across it I had just grabbed breakfast at Resorts and was walking back to my hotel to eat and get into my workday. But I believe AP moments, when you trip across them, can be great bankroll boosters.

I don’t expect most visitors to the site are heavy Advantage Play players. The machine next to hit had a lot of one $ reels, and while working through them to clear them out scored my first-ever bonus on the game, worth 75x my bet.īoth finds were on a $1 bet, but that was just fine – within a few minutes I was up $120. Instead I encountered a number of good AP moments, such as the above, my best AP find to date on a Wheel of Fortune machine – three wild reels triggered and left behind, so I got two spins with three wild reels. At my locals I can tell pretty quickly when machines have been picked through, and I can recognize immediately when certain people have been through – all the Scarabs are set to max bet and so on.

Most of the time I didn’t encounter people checking machines, although I did occasionally bump into people who were doing a casual check like myself. Perhaps it was the fact that I was there during the week in October, but my anecdotal evidence didn’t put me into contact with too many obvious Advantage Players. Had a great AP moment this morning!Ī post shared by Know Your Slots on at 7:49am PDTĪhead of the trip, I had read some comments asserting Advantage Play opportunities would be poor because Atlantic City was a busy area with a lot of Advantage Players.
