There's a lot to choose from, but I would have to go with the Plinko version of The Price is Right.

I liked the gameplay of the Match Game machine. (Even though it featured Rip Taylor, who, as far as I can tell, was on the panel for all of one week.)

/Especially after making a $50 head-to-head match on the penny slot.
// 'Course, I was already $30 down when I qualified for the bonus
/// And I eventually wound up losing the whole pile, anyway
//// And that's why I stick to video poker

I liked the You Bet Your Life one I was using a few months ago. The bonuses happened fairly often and I was able to capitalize on them each time. Other ones spotted at Soaring Eagle casino in Mt. Pleasant (that I didn't play because I enjoy blackjack more) include Supermarket Sweep, Shop Til You Drop, Wheel of Fortune in numerous denominations and a Big Event Press Your Luck.

I lost money on TPIR and Hollywood Squares and won on Pyramid, so Pyramid's my fave.

Why, "The Joker's Wild," of course.

Can I say "None"?

/Don't play slots.
//Hate slots.
///Would rather play the card games.

much agreed, however i get suckered into slots bc of the game show feel.

I've had terrific luck on PYL: Big Event and WOF 1c with the huge wheel in the middle of all the slots
I've hit for $500 on 50c WOF with the regular wheel, and moderate success on the $1 WOF machine.
I've had fun with Match Game, Password, and Shop til You Drop.
With TPIR, I've done best on Cliffy, then Plinko, and do pretty bad on the dice game.
Havent seen Sweep or You Bet Your Life, saw Joker's Wild once.
And I've literally never won anything on the 25c jeopardy slot

Wheel of Fortune quarter reel slots as long as they don't play "Happy Wheels" after I get the 1000-coin jackpot.

If I were to pick a video slot, probably TPIR Cliffhangers or TPIR Plinko.

A few months ago, I lost all of about $10 on a Wheel slot...it's the only one I ever played.

/Was at the Vegas airport
//On my way to L.A.
///Where I had lunch with Chris Clementson
////And caught a Dodgers game
/////Been a Dodgers fan since :-P

Up here in Washington, the only gameshow-related slots I've seen/played are PIR-Plinko, WoF and Press Your Luck. These are either penny or nickel machines. Just the other day I won $500 on a WoF :D

/Oh, and we've got Monopoly slots..does that count?

You do realize that the game design itself has absolutely 0 to do with what your payouts are, correct?

I guess I don't quite understand what you're saying, I'm just picking up on its condescension.

What I'm saying is it doesn't matter at all if the reels are YBYL, fishes, or toasters. What matters is the EPROM chip inside the machine, and what the casino you go to has set it to.

I'd be happy to give a more detailed explanation, if anyone wants.

Of course. I'm saying that whenever I happen to get a bonus, I just happen to do well on it.

Better yet, go here and get lots and lots of information on how slot machines work. (And lots of other games, but that's another story.)

When I turned 21, I went and played "Family Feud" and "Pyramid". "Feud" just lightened the weight of my wallet, but "Pyramid" won me $50. When you talk about slot machine payouts, not too shabby. It was a penny machine, at that.

Slightly off-topic, but I later played "Dick Clark's Bloopers" machine, and got about $15, and thinking (foolishly) that Dick Clark slot machines were my lucky charm that night, I played the "American Bandstand" machine. I ended up losing $40, so I'll say this: it didn't have a good beat, and I certainly couldn't dance to it.
