  As an IT nerd, i absolutely love seeing tech like this, that we don't ever get to see or aren't supposed to see.

  The Bingo ID fact has me flabbergasted. It is both such a clever trick that quite clearly by definition fits within the word of the law...yet also shows how useless many of these types of prohibitive laws are.

  I don't consider this strictly a programming channel as much as a tech channel, so this qualifies. I'd like to see more like this.

  As a person that writes software for a slot machine company, I thought this video was really neat. Especially since this was a competitors slot machine. And even more that it was Class II standalone progressive slot. Much of what you showed isn&apos;t a trade secret and just stuff that is required by regulations. It was particularly interesting to see which events get recorded and how they are recorded compared to how I&apos;m used to seeing them. <br><br>Another interesting tidbit was the BMM at the end of the executable name. BMM is a group that verifies slot machines are compliant with regulations so I&apos;m guessing the devs just ensure they don&apos;t send a test .exe to the compliance lab by specifically calling it out as BMM.<br><br>Thanks for the video it was really neat.

  Its fascinating how the game has to be written so that it takes its input values from another &quot;legal&quot; game (bingo in this case).

  I was almost expecting you to suggest a button combination that would bring up task manager in the game 🤣

  I used to work as a QA Tester at a video lottery terminal company in Atlantic Canada a number of years ago and the 92.5% pay ratio is very typical for these machines. &nbsp;We manufactured &nbsp;and shipped machines all over the world and the payout was generally between 92 and 95 percent. &nbsp;Those menus all look very familiar to me, although they are clearly more modern graphically than what we were working on. &nbsp;If anyone remembers the game &quot;swinging bells&quot; from the late 90s and early 2000s, well that&apos;s one of the games I worked on. &nbsp;The later machines we worked on at the time had 16MB of flash storage and had to hold 10 games plus all the accounting and communication back-end. &nbsp;This forced the programmers to clean-up their code to make it run as efficiently as possible in the limited storage allocation.

  College math professor here (usually Precalculus), I’ve been considering leaving education and getting a gaming license to work in that industry. &nbsp;Keep this style of video coming!

  Enjoyed it - hope there’s no fallout. Maybe the old lady was hoping you’d throw a few bills her way since you were actively being paid out on a jackpot.

  It was an insight experience that most people wouldn&apos;t get to share or record. Thanks for presenting and sharing.

  I like these, like service menus in TV&apos;S and monitors. Allows you to tweak settings not normally exposed to the consumer.
