\"\"Banking slots are interesting games that deliver bonuses as soon as you fill a meter. All you do is collect special scatter icons to fill the meter and trigger the bonus.<\/p>\n

Banking slots are attractive because they can offer you a theoretical advantage. You can gain positive expected value (+EV) if you play these machines when the meter is almost full.<\/p>\n

The biggest catch, though, is that you won’t find many of these games around anymore. Las Vegas, which is easily the biggest gambling destination in the Western Hemisphere, only has a small amount of banking machines.<\/p>\n

Why aren’t these games as readily available these days? Keep reading to see the three main reasons why casinos got rid of banking slot machines.<\/p>\n

1. Vultures Bothered Other Players<\/h2>\n

\"\"A “vulture<\/a>” is an advantage slots player who stalks casinos looking for favorable opportunities. The same players will try various tactics to get regular gamblers off machines.<\/p>\n

The vulture starts by asking the gambler if they can use the machine for superstitious reasons. But they can get more aggressive and irritating if the gambler doesn’t move right away.<\/p>\n

The simple fact that vultures bother good customers is enough to convince many casinos that banking slots aren’t worth the hassle.<\/p>\n

2. Fights Started Breaking Out<\/h2>\n

You can imagine how annoying it would be to have a strange person lurking behind you, trying to coax you off a slot machine. You may even become irate if the person is annoying enough.<\/p>\n

Keeping this scenario in mind, it’s no surprise that vultures have started actual fistfights with gamblers who became extremely irritated.<\/p>\n

3. Casinos Got Tired of Banking Slots Drama<\/h2>\n

Gambling establishments do everything possible to appease the regulars. They don’t, however, have any obligation to an advantage player.<\/p>\n

Considering the drama that vultures have caused, most gambling establishments don’t want to deal with the drama. This is why it’s really hard to find banking slot machines anywhere, even including Vegas casinos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
