About C.J.
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
If you would like to understand spinning reel slot machines, video poker and multi-line video slot machines, I can help. Can answer most questions on odds, math, trends, myths and realities related to gaming devices at licensed casinos in the US. I have no winning "systems" to offer. Please limit questions to slot machines in licensed casinos. Please do not ask about table games, or how to fix a machine!

Experience
Work for a major manufacturer of gaming/slot machines, which are sold strictly to licensed casinos.
