Advanced Tactics for Machine Pros

A massive, in-depth course that covers all facets of card building. Features a detailed guide to multicarding (and explains why the risks are not worth it), the importance of metrics beyond ADT, performing test builds, card maintenance best practices, how to deal with casinos cracking down on card builders, using local vs non-local addresses, how to determine which properties are likely to give the best freeplay, how to take advantage of tier matching and point multipliers, how to use freeplay to artificially generate losses, how to minimize losses during builds and an extensive FAQ that answers 12 commonly asked questions about card building.

Card building can still be extremely lucrative, you just need to know which casinos are still actively offering generous freeplay (and use the latest techniques taught in the Card Building Masterclass). Learn exactly how much coin-in you need to generate at specific properties to get huge offers. Covers detailed info about the builds, including coin-in, win/loss shown, machines played, card maintenance, teaser offers and any known heat. This is coveted, secretive information that pro APs will not post on the forums because it is too valuable to share.

• Learn how to get freeplay offers of up to $7,900 per week from a single casino.

• The value you receive in freeplay should pay for the entire product many times over (it’s common for professional APs to make the majority of their profits from building cards).

• Includes 26 full reports, with 8 smaller, less-detailed mini reports. There are also generic reports covering certain markets, such as Caesars and MGM properties in Atlantic City.

• The currently available reports are heavily centered on the California and Atlantic City markets. Also includes reports from Louisiana, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon and Virginia. More reports are planned for the future. Even if there aren’t reports available for the specific casinos you visit, you can still use the information as a guideline to understand how to structure your builds and produce similar offers in your local market.

• Disclaimer: These reports are for educational purposes only. The amount of info included in each report varies. Do not expect every casino to offer thousands of dollars in freeplay every week. Casinos change their offers all the time, so the information included here is subject to change. Properties can cut off your freeplay at any time, so nothing is ever a guarantee.

A collection of custom calculators for games that are useful for card building. Dial in your exact edge to build cards with confidence. Having access to these calculators during your builds will put you at a massive advantage over other APs.

• Regal Riches. This is one of my most prized possessions that I have been hesitant to share with other APs because of how valuable it is. Regal Riches is a staple AP game in casinos and I can usually find combo plays everywhere I go because accurate combo numbers are not well known by APs. Those using simple total number combos are doing it wrong (e.g., play when purple + green = X) because the EV depends entirely on the specific ratio of the three numbers rather than a flat total. I’ve seen other attempted Regal Riches calculators built in Excel that are nowhere near accurate because they do not account for the non-linear payouts of the accumulated wilds and do not factor in all three meters hitting early and cycling back in again. This calculator properly models the non-linearity and uses a simulation (20,000 trials) to accurately determine the end states. It’s particularly useful for card building when you want to find return states in the high 90s. It also shows bankroll on hand needed and total expected coin-in.

Discuss card building (and other closely guarded secretive topics) with professional APs in a private forum that is separate from the main group.

Everything you need to know to level up your AP game distilled down into an easy-to-read list of actionable tactics. Contains insider tips about figuring out RTP, reading dashboard screens, making money in competitive markets, proper AP etiquette, chopping plays, how to fly under the radar in shops that aggressively ban APs, the logistics of taking big plays, the latest techniques for avoiding detection by analytics software like Tangam Systems, tips for maximizing your profits and much more.

Learn about what not to do (and who not to trust) by understanding flawed thinking that is common amongst APs. This is more of a fun section where I get to rant a bit. Topics covered include gathering data from YouTube, making generalizations from small sample sizes, tracking irrelevant metrics, games getting nerfed, the usefulness of PAR sheets, using combo number totals on non-linear games, combining tracked data in misleading ways and more.

A collection of 10 essays that take a deep dive into advanced topics for high-level APs. Learn about risk management, dealing with variance, survivorship bias, applying the teachings of Nassim Nicholas Taleb to AP slots, thinking in averages vs possibilities, how to identify strong vs weak AP games, why it’s better to be roughly right than precisely wrong, a counterintuitive concept about slot math that is useful for card building and other advanced topics that will make you a stronger AP. There are a lot of useful insights here that I have not seen discussed anywhere else on the web.

Important: This section of the course is tentative and may not make it into the final product. It is still in its early stages and completing it is going to take many months of work. I’m hesitant to publish this because the modeling techniques I’ve developed to build my calculators are the main advantage I have over competing websites that copy what I do. So do not buy this product solely for the game modeling section, as I cannot promise exactly how much of this will end up in the product.

Covers the simple version of figuring out games through play tracking and then takes a deep dive into the three different methods I use to model games and build calculators. Features techniques I have discovered myself through analyzing and modeling hundreds of AP games over the years. This is stuff that you will not find discussed anywhere on the web. Learn insider info about hit frequencies derived from PAR sheets, building simulations, dealing with the biggest challenge in modeling games (non-linearity), how specific game studios typically handle payback distributions, setting up natural boundaries in your models that can be adjusted with a dial (if the feature pays more, the base game therefore has to pay less), handling RTP differences, how to reverse engineer the most important variable in game modeling (advantage feature contribution to RTP), methods for figuring out base game returns beyond brute force spin tracking and many other topics.

All new strategy guides and calculators for the foreseeable future.

Can I buy the modules like the Card Building Masterclass separately?

Unfortunately not. Everything is sold together as a single package.

Why aren’t you creating more Booster Packs?

Completing all the calculators in Booster Pack 4 about killed me, especially the Temple Falls and Bonus Builder ones. The amount of work I put in was not worth the return. Tracking plays, analyzing data, building models and coding up the calculators takes an incredible amount of time. From an hourly rate perspective, the Booster Packs are not +EV for me to create at that price point.

I also don’t like my calculators being used by masses of APs because that creates more competition for myself. So I would rather have fewer customers but charge more. It also makes this product more valuable for the customers who do purchase because the information is more exclusive and the masses won’t have access. That is why all new strategy guides and calculators for the foreseeable future will be going into this product rather than new Booster Packs.

Why is this so expensive?

This product is targeted towards APs making six figures a year. It will help those APs make more money than it costs. $5k is not expensive for someone making $25k+ per month. The card building information alone is more than worth the price of admission, as anyone who builds cards should be able to recoup what they spent pretty quickly. My overall goal with this product is to pack as much value into it as possible, so that it is worth 10x what it costs and pays for itself many times over.
