There are some players @ Lucky Nugget who keeps on appearing on the RECENT HIGH WINNERS list quite so often. I am very aware that these winners are players who wager high to get the highest possible payouts, but there MUST be something else indicating those players on WHEN they must play in order to get the biggest possible payouts, but when that is, I am not aware of, really. And obviously, the online support for that casino will not/cannot tell us the "secret" behind that.

If we take one regular winner named "Lynn S." (from Canada) as an example. She's been hitting the big wins like NUMEROUS times over the last year! At REMOVED website you can see that she's been winning like 7 big wins in just a couple of months! Each big win she's been getting is worthy at least $2000 and up to $25000, which is a darn nice amount to say the least! Below is a screenshot of what I am talking about:


As for Lucky Nugget, they've got something else that might be playing a hand in this; some sort of "heat meter"-thingy as shown below:


I've been playing @ Lucky Nugget casino for such a long time now, and the biggest single win I've gotten is like $800 and that's all.... so how she can get so many big wins SO many times, and mostly they're from games such as "Belle Rock", "Aces & Eights" and "Thunderstruck", which are all non-progressive video slots.

So, what do you guys make of this? Any clues and opinions on this, perhaps?

I've noticed the same kind of big hit winners by the same players at English Harbor group of casinos.  Not only do I not believe people are winning huge amounts there, I think the winner names are made up as well. 

Yep, it does look like the wins are legit, mainly because I've been on those lists as well, thanks to a $3000 win @ BtBank, and guess who I was accompanied back then? Yup! Lynn S.! I mean... she MUST be a zillionare by now? Sure she might be a high roller, but the amount of jackpots and high wins she gets, is c-r-a-z-y to say the least!

Another thing I've noticed. People DO seem to care about the "win meter"-bar/value next to the game name for MG-games. I mean, as soon as small games (regular, no-progressive slots) hits 800+, the high rollers seem to be hitting those games extremely hard, resulting in MOST of the high winners posted on the main page are winners from that particular game! And then when you check the game, the meter has gone down to 100'ish or something. Wonder how they do it... Anyone with me so far?

The same goes for Aces & Eights. What's up with that game? The ONLY video poker that seems to be paying the jackpot fairly regularly, if you ask me. I see a lot of different names displayed on the front page saying "XXX won 20,000 @ Aces & Eights". And it's 20,000 exactly, meaning that they'd be playing @ whopping $25 coins (coin size = 5, so 5x 4000, which is the royal flush prize = 20,000 credits) each hand/game when they hit the A&E jackpot! So, it seems that in order for us to win the jackpot on A&E is to play at LARGE. It's not enough to play A&E with less than 5 coin size if you want to hit the jackpot. Have lost the count how many 1000 hands/games I've played on 2 coin size pr. hand/game, and I've yet to hit that jackpot... So yeah, by playing from 5 coin size and up to whopping 25 coin size ($125(!) pr. hand/game) are our best chances, it seems.

Of course, these are just theories, but I cannot be THAT far off, or am I? All this comes from 2-3 years of "studying" how and when the big wins are hit/done, so I am just basing these on what I've seen in that period of time.

What do you lot reckon about this, huh?

Also, if there are things that are "unclear", feel free to ask and I'll explain.

Ah, I see. So you reckon there is a "certain" thermometer value for each slot, huh? Seems interesting that, yes. However, when I take a look around different casinos now, I've spotted FLS @ 999.. so that would be a better value for high wins than if it'd be on 500+ like you said, for FLS that is?

Well, I usually bet around $1 per game. Depending which game it is, I normally play $0.90-$1.50 per game. If I get nice enough wins, I will of course jump the coin size to even higher amounts, but not more than $5 at max. That is for slots. For video pokers I normally play either with $2.50 or $5 coins per game, but at first I play $2.50 per game. If I get a nice win amount, I can jump to $5 and even $10 per game.

I didn't realise that kazzi.  Thanks for the info - so the thermometer means nothing basically.
