Yes, you can be arrested for trying to defraud a casino. It's called theft. (source: my wife, casino employee for 8 years.)

I am not sure about that ?i play at the gas stations in ga so they cant do a damn thing but pay the money if it works ill let you know

You would get yourself in trouble, not the casino. hear that clicking noise? this is the sound of handcuffs being placed on your wrists, just before jail. The casino cameras constantly watch for customers that commit fraud.

If you try to cheat the casino, it's a FELONY. (You'll lose your right to vote as well as find it rather difficult to find further employment, lose right to gun ownership, and all of the wonderful other perks of being a convicted felon.) What you're probably thinking of is known as a monkey paw. It takes advantage of the random number generator.

It wouldn't win you money to put a magnet on it. However a slot machine is an electronic device, and the screen can be PERMANENTLY damaged by a magnet. It may also mess up other parts as well. If u damaged the machine, it may pay out due to malfunction, but since u ruined the machine u may be either forced to pay for the machine or get banned from that casino

You can be asked to leave a casino for any reason they choose. If you are suspected of attempting to win by some means of artificial manipulation, it is an act of attempted fraud and you will be asked not only to leave, but escorted from the establishment by police officers, and charged and prosecuted as a criminal.

Honestly yes you can get in trouble... however holding a strong magnet over the screen of a slot machine wont do anything except mess up the picture. Like holding a magnet up to your tv set, it disrupts the pixels and distorts the picture. It wont make the machine pay. (I also worked in a casino for a few years)

it's really risky doing such nonsense at casinos.
