Advantage Play Tips
When scouting for advantage play opportunities at MGM Grand, keep these tips in mind:
- Scout before you play. Walk the entire slot floor before committing any money. Check progressive meters, counters, and collection boards on every machine you recognize from the list above.
- Check all denominations. Many machines at MGM Grand are available in multiple denominations. Each denomination has its own independent meter and counter state, so check them all.
- Visit during off-peak hours. Early mornings and weekday afternoons tend to have more walk-away opportunities from overnight and lunch-break players. Late-night sessions after casual players leave can also be productive.
- Use the calculators. Before sitting down at any machine, verify it is actually +EV using the MHB calculator or EV calculator. What looks promising at a glance may not clear the break-even threshold.
