machine activity, variances, identify meter
malfunctions, operational activity (drop/count,
payouts, voids), statistical report analysis, etc.

6
Key Points: Notes:

Activity recorded by the slot/gaming machine

system is provided to the personnel who need
to use it through the reports produced by the
slot/gaming machine system. The reports are
where the system takes all of the activity,
meter data and system calculations and
presents it to the end-user so the personnel
can perform the tasks related to their
positions. These are a sample of reports that
may be produced by the slot/gaming machine
system to identify and review exceptions and
variances.

7
Key Points: Notes:

These are a sample of reports that may be

produced by the slot/gaming machine system
to record operational activity and for
reviewing such activity. Many reports may be
produced by the system which have multiple
purposes.

8
Key Points: Notes:

These are a sample of reports that may be

produced by the slot/gaming machine system
for the use of the Accounting and/or
Revenue Audit departments. These reports
may be used to record financial accounting
data of the gaming operation and to review
the performance of the slot/gaming
machines.

9
Key Points: Notes:

• Machine Information: Information identifying

the slot/gaming machine
• Coin-in: Amount of credits wagered at the
slot/gaming machine
• Coin-out: Amount of credits won by the
player at the slot/gaming machine
• Free play: Meters for free play played at the
machine or returned to the Player’s Club
account
• Bill-in: Meters for cash bills inserted into
slot/gaming machine
• Vouchers: Meters for vouchers inserted into
the machine and printed out from the
machine
• Wagering Account: Meters for recording
wagers and winnings transferred to and from
a slot/gaming machine

10
Key Points: Notes:

• Drop: Amount of funds in the slot/gaming

machine drop box. Amount is represented as
metered (from machine) or actual (data recorded
from the count)
• Jackpots/Payouts: Payments of jackpots,
handpays, and other payouts from the machine
not paid through the printing of a voucher,
transfer, etc. that is not reported separately
• Win: Amount of funds won or lost by the gaming
operation for the slot/gaming machine(s).
• Actual Hold %: Percentage of actual funds earned
or lost by the slot/gaming machine for the
reported period.
• Theoretical Hold %: Percentage of hold
established by the design of the gaming machine’s
software, provided by the vendor on PAR sheets
and certified by a testing laboratory. Should be
weighted for multi-game and/or multi-
denomination machines which have different
paytables for effective analysis
• Variance: Difference between the Actual Hold and
Theoretical Hold percentages
11
Key Points: Notes:

See Handout: Daily Meters Report.

Meter Reports list a wide variety of meters

recorded by the slot/gaming machine system
for one gaming day of activity. This report is
useful for analyzing unusual meter data for a
short time period. However, the system can
list the same data for a larger time frame,
such as for a week, month, year, or specific
time period.

12
Key Points: Notes:

See Handout: Gross Drop Totals Report.

Drop Reports usually provide a reconciliation

between meter and actual drop data for
different types of gaming instruments that
make up the slots/gaming machine drop.
Report includes meter and actual data across
multiple time frames.

13
Key Points: Notes:

See Handout: Statistical Net Win Report.

Statistical Net Win, Net Win, or Win reports

(title for report depending on the system)
provide meter and calculated data to show the
Net Win or earnings and losses of the
slot/gaming machines. Depending on the
report, they may summarize data by
denomination, location, or other factor or they
may even be detailed and include the activity
by individual machine. In addition to providing
the Net Win for both financial reporting and
statistical analysis purposes, a comparison of
actual to theoretical hold percentages and the
resulting variance are stated. These type of
reports are a good tool for management to
evaluate the performance of the slot/gaming
machines on the casino floor.

14
Key Points:
Notes: for slot/gaming
Slot/Gaming Machine systems provide a variety of reports to identify variances
machine related activity and are useful tools in identifying areas for management to initiate
corrective actions, and/or perform investigations depending on the type of variance activity.
System reports are also essential tools to review variances from expectations required by the 547
Technical Standards (Statistical Analysis).

25 CFR 543.8(l)Variance. The operation must establish, as approved by the TGRA, the threshold
level at which a variance, including deviations from the mathematical expectations required by 25
CFR 547.4, will be reviewed to determine the cause. Any such review must be documented.

Slot/Gaming Machine system reports provide critical tools to review and investigate variances from
expectations required by the 547 Technical Standards (Statistical Analysis).

25 CFR 543.24(d)(1)(iv) At least monthly, review statistical reports for any deviations from the
mathematical expectations exceeding a threshold established by the TGRA. Investigate and
document any deviations compared to the mathematical expectations required to be submitted
per § 547.4.

The Technical Standard requires Test Lab calculation and/or verification of the mathematical
expectations of game play, which is the theoretical hold evaluated as part of the statistical analysis
process.

25 CFR 547.4(a) Fairness. No Class II gaming system may cheat or mislead users. All prizes
advertised must be available to win during the game. A test laboratory must calculate and/or verify
the mathematical expectations of game play, where applicable, in accordance with the
manufacturer stated submission. The results must be included in the test laboratory's report to the
TGRA. At the request of the TGRA, the manufacturer must also submit the mathematical
expectations of the game play to the TGRA.
15
Key Points: Notes:
The controls under this section of the Class III Guidance relate to
ensuring the integrity of the data of the slot/gaming machine
system from the time the machine is installed until it is
permanently removed from the casino floor. The integrity of the
system data for each slot/gaming machine and servers is critical
for ensuring the validity of system reporting and performing
statistical analysis.

§5.(h)
(1)-(6): Par sheets, multi-game machines, adjusted
theoretical holds, and manufacturer performance
standards.
(7)-(13): Records for machine data for installations and
changes to machines, functioning meters and meter
readings.

The integrity of the system data for each slot/gaming machine

and servers is critical for ensuring the validity of system reporting
and performing statistical analysis. Maintaining and updating
machine data plays a key role in ensuring data integrity.

§5.(h)
(14)-(18): Monthly statistical report, not commingling
various hold percentages or distorting actual, review of
monthly reports and investigations of large variances.
(19)-(20):Maintenance of system data files and updating
the system.

16
Key Points: Notes:

See Handout: Gaming Report.

Statistical Analysis reports provide detailed

statistical performance and hold percentage
data at the machine level for structured time
frames. They are an essential tool for revenue
audit and management’s statistical analysis
review. Statistical analysis reports identify
machine variances between actual and
theoretical holds and identify variances which
exceed established thresholds. They also
include meter and calculated data by machine
to provide the user for the type of activity they
should review for the cause of significant hold
percentage variances.

HANDOUT #5
JOHN KANE WAS on a hell of a winning streak. On July 3, 2009, he walked alone into the
high-limit room at the Silverton Casino in Las Vegas and sat down at a video poker
machine called the Game King. Six minutes later the purple light on the top of the machine
flashed, signaling a $4,300 jackpot. Kane waited while the slot attendant verified the win
and presented the IRS paperwork—a procedure required for any win of $1,200 or greater—
then, 11 minutes later, ding ding ding!, a $2,800 win. A $4,150 jackpot rolled in a few
minutes after that.
All the while, the casino's director of surveillance, Charles Williams, was peering down at
Kane through a camera hidden in a ceiling dome. Tall, with a high brow and an aquiline
nose, the 50-year-old Kane had the patrician bearing of a man better suited to playing a
Mozart piano concerto than listening to the chirping of a slot machine. Even his play was
refined: the way he rested his long fingers on the buttons and swept them in a graceful
legato, smoothly selecting good cards, discarding bad ones, accepting jackpot after jackpot
with the vaguely put-upon air of a creditor finally collecting an overdue debt.
Williams could see that Kane was wielding none of the array of cheating devices that
casinos had confiscated from grifters over the years. He wasn't jamming a light wand in the
machine's hopper or zapping the Game King with an electromagnetic pulse. He was simply
pressing the buttons. But he was winning far too much, too fast, to be relying on luck
alone.

At 12:34 pm, the Game King lit up with its seventh jackpot in an hour and a half, a $10,400
payout. Now Williams knew something was wrong: The cards dealt on the screen were the
exact same four deuces and four of clubs that yielded Kane's previous jackpot. The odds
against that were astronomical. Williams called over the executive in charge of the
Silverton's slots, and they reviewed the surveillance tape together.
The evidence was mounting that Kane had found something unthinkable: the kind of thing
gamblers dream of, casinos dread, and Nevada regulators have an entire auditing regime to
prevent. He'd found a bug in the most popular video slot in Las Vegas.
As they watched the replay for clues, Kane chalked up an eighth jackpot worth $8,200, and
Williams decided not to wait any longer. He contacted the Silverton's head of security, a
formidable character with slicked-back silver hair and a black suit, and positioned him
outside the slot area. His orders: Make sure John Kane doesn't leave the casino.

Kane had discovered the glitch in the Game King three months earlier on the other end of
town, at the unpretentious Fremont Hotel and Casino in downtown's Glitter Gulch. He was
overdue for a lucky break. Since the Game King had gotten its hooks in him years earlier
he'd lost between tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands annually. At his previous
haunt, the locals-friendly Boulder Station, he blew half a million dollars in 2006 alone—a
pace that earned him enough Player's Club points to pay for his own Game King to play at
his home on the outskirts of Vegas, along with technicians to service it. (The machine was
just for fun—it didn't pay jackpots.) “He's played more than anyone else in the United
States,” says his lawyer, Andrew Leavitt. “I'm not exaggerating or embellishing. It's an
addiction.”
To understand video poker addiction, you have to start with the deceptively simple appeal
of the game. You put some money in the machine, place a bet of one to five credits, and the
computer deals you a poker hand. Select the cards you want to keep, slap the Draw button,
and the machine replaces the discards. Your final hand determines the payout.
When the first video poker machine hit casinos in the 1970s, it was a phenomenal success
—gamblers loved that they could make decisions that affected the outcome instead of just
pulling a handle and watching the reels spin. The patent holder started a company called
International Game Technology that debuted on the Nasdaq in 1981.
IGT's key insight was to tap into the vast flexibility offered by computerized gambling. In
1996, the company perfected its formula with the Game King Multi-Game, which allowed
players to choose from several variations on video poker. Casinos snatched up the Game
King, and IGT sold them regular firmware upgrades that added still more games to the
menu. On September 25, 2002, the company released its fifth major revision—Game King
5.0. Its marketing material was triumphal: “Full of new enhancements, including state-of-
the-art video graphics and enhanced stereo sound, the Game King 5.0 Multi-Game suite is
sure to rule over your entire casino floor with unprecedented magnificence!” But the new
Game King code had one feature that wasn't in the brochure—a series of subtle errors in
program number G0001640 that evaded laboratory testing and source code review.
The bug survived like a cockroach for the next seven years. It
passed into new revisions, one after another, ultimately

How She Hunts a modest payout. But when he hit the Cash Out button to take
his money to another machine, the candle lit at the top of the
Game King and the screen locked up with a jackpot worth
more than $1,000. Kane hadn't even played a new hand, so he
knew there was a mistake. He told a casino attendant about the error, but the worker
thought he was joking and gave him the money anyway.
At that point, Kane could have forgotten the whole thing. Instead, he called a friend and
embarked on the biggest gamble of his life.

Even before the phone rang in his suburban Pittsburgh home, Andre Nestor had a gut
feeling that everything was about to change for him. Superstitious and prone to hunches,
he'd felt it coming for days: April 30, 2009, would be exactly 15 years since Nestor ignored
an urge to play a set of numbers that came up in the Pennsylvania lottery Big 4.
That was the story of his life—always playing the right numbers at the wrong time. Games
of chance had been courting and betraying Nestor since he was old enough to gamble. In
2001 he'd moved to Las Vegas to be closer to the action, answering phones for a bank
during the day and wagering his meager paycheck at night. That's when he met John Kane
in an AOL chatroom for Vegas locals. Though Nestor was 13 years younger than Kane and
perpetually flirting with poverty, they developed an intense addicts' friendship.
Nestor's records show he lost about $20,000 a year for six years before he gave up, said
good-bye to Kane, and moved back to the sleepy Pittsburgh suburb of Swissvale,
Pennsylvania, in 2007. For about two years he had a stable life, living off public assistance,
gambling infrequently, and playing the occasional lottery ticket. Then Kane called to tell
him about a bug he'd found in video poker. Nestor drove to the airport that night and
camped there until the next available flight to Las Vegas.
Kane picked him up at the curb at McCarran airport. After a quick breakfast, they drove to
the Fremont, took adjacent seats at two Game Kings, and went to work. Kane had some
idea of how the glitch operated but hadn't been able to reliably reproduce it. Working
together, the two men began trying different combinations of play, game types, and bet
levels, sounding out the bug like bats in the dark.
It turned out the Game King's endless versatility was also its fatal flaw. In addition to
different game variants, the machine lets you choose the base level of your wagers: At the
low-limit Fremont machines, you could select six different denomination levels, from 1
cent to 50 cents a credit.
“Yo
Y u had complete control,” Andre Nestor says. “Yo
Y u could win $500,000 in one day.” MI CHA E L FRI B E RG

The key to the glitch was that under just the right circumstances, you could switch
denomination levels retroactively. That meant you could play at 1 cent per credit for hours,
losing pocket change, until you finally got a good hand—like four aces or a royal flush.
Then you could change to 50 cents a credit and fool the machine into re-awarding your
payout at the new, higher denomination.
Performing that trick consistently wasn't easy—it involved a complicated misdirection that
left the Game King's internal variables in a state of confusion. But after seven hours rooted
to their seats, Kane and Nestor boiled it down to a step-by-step recipe that would work
every time.
Nestor and Kane each rang up a few jackpots, then broke for a celebratory dinner, at which
they planned their next move. They would have to expand beyond the Fremont before the
casino noticed how much they were winning. Fortunately, Game Kings are ubiquitous in
Vegas, installed everywhere from the corner 7-Eleven to the toniest luxury casino. They
mapped out their campaign and then headed back to Kane's home for the night.
Kane lived in a spacious house at the far northeast edge of town. His Game King was in the
foyer. A spare bedroom down the hall was devoted entirely to a model train set, an
elaborate, detailed miniature with tracks snaking and climbing through model towns, up
hills, across bridges, and through tunnels, every detail perfect. The home's centerpiece was
the living room with its three Steinway grand pianos. Kane is a virtuoso pianist; in the
early 1980s he was a leading dance accompanist in the Chicago area, and even today he
sells recordings under the vanity label Keynote Records. He left the professional music
world only after failing to advance in the prestigious Van Cliburn International Piano
Competition. Now he ran a management consulting practice that claimed one-third of the
Fortune 100 as clients.
Kane's business was lucrative, so he was accustomed to handling money. But now that they
were on the verge of a windfall, he was worried about Nestor; he could see his younger
friend returning every cent to the casinos at the roulette tables or blowing it all on
frivolities. “If you had a million dollars, what 10 things would you do?” Kane asked him. He
wanted Nestor to make a list and really think through his priorities.
Nestor started a list, but it would prove unnecessary. After another day at the Fremont,
they branched out. To their surprise, the button sequence didn't work. Over the following
days, they explored the Hilton, the Cannery, then the Stratosphere, Terrible's, the Hard
Rock, the Tropicana, the Luxor, and five other casinos, drawing the same dismal results
everywhere. For some reason, the Game King glitch was only present at the Fremont.
At the end of a frustrating week, Nestor headed to the airport for his return flight with just
$8,000 in winnings. As a final insult, he lost $700 in a video poker machine while waiting
for his plane.
Kane decided to wring what he could from the four Fremont machines. He learned to
speed up the process by using the Game King's Double Up feature, which gave players a
chance to double their winnings or lose everything. Respectable payouts that might once
have satisfied Kane were garbage now. After five weeks using the new strategy, Kane had
pocketed more than $100,000 from the Fremont.
Unsurprisingly, the Fremont noticed. In modern casinos, every slot machine in the house
is wired to a central server, where statistical deviations stick out like a fifth ace. The four
machines under the Chinese food sign shot to the top of the Fremont's “loser list” of
underperforming games: They'd gone from providing the casino a reliable $14,500 a
month to costing it $75,000 in May alone.
On May 25, a slot manager approached Kane after one of his wins and announced that he
was disabling the Double Up feature on all of the Game Kings—he was aware that Kane
used the option copiously, and he figured it must have something to do with his run of
luck.

Kane took the development in stride: The bug, not the Double Up, was the real secret of his
success. But he was in for a shock. The next time he played the Game King, the magic
button sequence no longer worked. In an instant, the Fremont was no better than all the
other casinos that had been immune to the glitch.
He phoned Nestor, who processed the news. With the Double Up option turned on, the bug
worked; turned off, it didn't. Whatever internal stew of code made the Game King
exploitable, Nestor concluded, the Double Up option had been a key ingredient the whole
time. They just hadn't known it.
This wasn't bad news at all. It was the missing link. It explained why the bug had failed
them everywhere but at the Fremont. Most casinos don't enable Double Up because it's
unpopular with players. But that could easily be changed. High rollers and slot aficionados
often have favorite game variants or features that aren't available by default but can be
enabled by any passing slot attendant.
Nestor purchased two dress shirts and caught another flight to Las Vegas, where he joined
Kane at Harrah's. Row after row of Game Kings were waiting, and, true to the plan, the
staff didn't hesitate when Kane and Nestor asked for Double Up to be enabled.
Nestor got the first significant winning hand of the trip: four fours and a kicker for $500.
He tapped the magic sequence, hit Cash Out, and watched with delight as his $500 became
a $10,000 jackpot. He tipped the slot attendant $20.

There were no limits now. They could play anywhere and beat the house wherever they
went. Nestor, who’d been scraping by on a $1,000-a-month welfare check, saw a whole
new future unfolding: home ownership, an investment account, security, better clothes,
and gifts for his friends back home. For his part, Kane was already well on his way to
erasing the massive losses he’d suffered since moving to Sin City.
Working as a team had its advantages. While experimenting with the bug, they discovered
that they could trigger a jackpot on the same hand more than once: All they had to do was
lower the denomination again and repeat the steps to activate the glitch. They could
effectively replay their win over and over, as much as they wanted. It was a risky play—
even the busiest casino might notice the same player repeatedly winning with the same
hand. But now that they were playing together, Kane and Nestor could ride on each other's
jackpots. Nestor won $4,000 with four aces; then, after waiting a bit, Kane slid over to the
same machine and replayed the hand for another $4,000.
They could even piggyback on other players' wins. No longer confined to four low-limit
slots at a single casino, they prowled the floor at Harrah's looking for empty machines still
showing a player's jackpot. Once they got an attendant to turn on Double Up, it took only
seconds to replay the hand at up to 10 times the original value. Video poker wasn't even
gambling anymore. “You had complete control over how much you could win,” Nestor says.
“If you wanted to go to a casino and win $500,000 in one day, you could win $500,000 in
one day.”
At the end of the evening, Nestor says they went to his cheap hotel room at Bill's Gamblin'
Hall and Saloon to settle up. As the benefactor of Kane's discovery, Nestor had agreed to
give his old friend half his winnings. But now that the cash was rolling in, he was having
second thoughts about the arrangement.
Every jackpot, he realized, was being reported to the IRS, and he'd already won enough
from the bug to propel him into a higher tax bracket. If he paid half to Kane off the top, he
might wind up without the reserves to pay his tax debt come April of the following year. He
broached the subject with Kane: He'd be more comfortable holding on to the money until
his taxes were paid. It was just a year. He'd happily give Kane half of his post-tax winnings
then.
Kane was indignant but not surprised; leave it to Nestor to turn even free money into a
problem to obsess over. He insisted Nestor honor his agreement, and Nestor grew more
agitated, his voice rising in pitch. “What am I doing? Why am I even doing this?” he
complained. “I'm not winning any money doing this if I'm giving you all this up front.”
Kane finally agreed to accept a third of Nestor's $20,000 take for the day. Nestor says he
counted out $6,000 in hundreds onto an end table, and Kane said good night.
The tension between the men lingered the next day at the Wynn, a towering upscale
supercasino with more than 1,300 slots. They played side by side, raking in money and
continuing to argue over the split. Nestor was now of the opinion that he shouldn't have to
pay Kane anything. It was Nestor, after all, who'd figured out that the Double Up feature
was part of the bug. That should make them square.
“This was my gift to you,” Kane shot back testily. “If you'd found this bug instead of me,
you would never have told me about it.”
The accusation stung. Nestor gaped at his friend, then he stood and walked away from the
machine.
The next day Nestor nursed his hurt feelings with a solo trip to the Rio. He found a Game
King displaying four aces and a kicker and hit it for $5,600. Then he wandered into the
high-limit room and found another four aces. He punched this one twice: $20,000 at a $5
denomination, then, after a decent interval, $8,000 at the $2 level. Nestor's records show
that he eventually left the casino with about $34,000 in his pockets. He didn't need Kane
at all. “There was so much money to be made, what did it even matter?” he says.
On his last day in Vegas, Nestor continued his solo run, hitting a Game King at the Wynn
for a combined $61,000. Back in his room at Bill's, he added up his winnings: He was
going home with $152,250 in cash in his luggage. And he wasn't done yet. There were
casinos in Pennsylvania, too, where he could operate without the slightest risk of Kane
knowing what he was up to—or demanding a cut up front.
After Nestor left, Kane tore into Vegas with a vengeance. Official numbers have never been
released, and Kane declined to speak for this article, but the FBI would later tally Kane's
winnings at more than $500,000 from eight different casinos. The Wynn, where Kane kept
four nines on one Game King for days, was the biggest loser at $225,240.
Back in Pennsylvania, Nestor targeted the newly opened casino at the Meadows Racetrack
in Washington County. In contrast to Kane, who played the bug with joyless, businesslike
intensity, Nestor was voluble and chatty at the Meadows. He dressed smartly and,
according to court documents, brought along a small entourage for company: his
roommate, a retired cop named Kerry Laverde; and Patrick Loushil, a server at Red
Lobster who agreed to collect some of Nestor's jackpots for him, so they wouldn't all show
up on Nestor's tax bill. Nestor hammed it up every time he won, gushing excitedly to the
slot workers—“I'm so excited! Here, feel my heart!”—and tipping generously.

But it all began to unravel the night Kane found himself waiting for a payout at the
Silverton. The casino's head of security stood just outside the slot area. Kane paced and
huffed, spun the swivel chair back and forth like a metronome, and complained to passing
slot attendants. Finally, three men strode up to him. The head of security directed Kane to
an alcove, handcuffed him, and escorted him away from the video poker machines.
An armed agent from the Gaming Control Board arrived soon after. He sealed the
machines Kane had been playing on with orange evidence tape and collected Kane from
the back room, where he'd been handcuffed to a chair. Kane's wallet and the $27,000 in his
pocket were confiscated, and he was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on
suspicion of theft.
After a night in jail, Kane was released. On Monday he called Nestor to warn him that the
bug had been discovered. He sounded more upset than nestor had ever heard him. “Stay
out of the casinos,” Kane said. “Do not go back to the casinos.”
Nestor's heart sank for his old friend. It was painful to imagine Kane suffering the indignity
of a night in jail, mug shots, fingerprints, being treated like a common criminal. But after
the call, Nestor talked himself into an alternate theory. What if there'd been no arrest?
What if Kane suspected—as he must have—that Nestor was using the bug and had made up
the story about the Silverton to scare Nestor into stopping, so Kane could have the exploit
all to himself? By this time Nestor had been back in Pennsylvania three weeks and had
already won nearly $50,000 from the Meadow's Game King.
He decided to ignore Kane's story and started planning his next trip to the Meadows.

Three days later, in Las Vegas, engineers from the Nevada Gaming Control Board's
Technology Division descended on the Silverton. The forensics investigation of the Game
King scam had fallen to John Lastusky, a 25-year-old clean-cut USC computer engineering
graduate.
Lastusky pulled up the game history on the two machines Kane had played and reviewed
the wins, then slid out the logic trays, the metal shelves housing the Game King's electronic
guts, and checked the six EPROMs containing the machines' core logic, graphics, and
sound routines. There was no sign of tampering. He confiscated the logic trays and packed
them up for the trip back to headquarters.
Housed in an anonymous office park near the airport, the GCB's Technology Division was
formed in the mid-1980s to police video gambling as it began its Nevada ascent. The
division helps set the rigorous standards that gamemakers like IGT must meet to deploy
machines in the Silver State. A 3,000-square-foot laboratory at the back of the office is
packed end to end with slot machines in various states of undress—some powered down,
some in maintenance mode, others stripped to their bare electronics, though most are
configured as they would be on a gaming floor.
A smaller, locked-down room adjacent to the lab is more important: It houses a permanent
repository of the source and executable code for every version of game software ever
approved in Nevada—more than 30,000 programs in all. The code vault is at the center of
the gaming board's massive software integrity operation. Every new addition is carefully
examined: Is the random number generator random enough? Does the game pay out at the
advertised rate? Is there logic where there shouldn't be? “We're not necessarily looking for
something nefarious, but the goal is to ensure the integrity of the product,” says division
chief Jim Barbee.
There's a real, if mostly unrealized, danger of gaming software being backdoored. The
concept was proven in 1995, when one of the GCB's own staffers, Ron Harris, went bad.
Harris modified his testing unit to covertly reprogram the EPROMs on the machines he
was auditing. His new software commanded the machine to trigger a jackpot upon a
particular sequence of button presses—like a Konami Code for cash. He was eventually
caught, and he served two years in prison.

HOW THEY BEAT THE HOUSE

The “Double Up bug” lurking in the softf ware of Game King video poker machines survived undetected for
nearly seven years, in part because the steps to reproduce it were so complex. John Kane and Andre Nestor
experimented until they could trigger it at will.

1. Locate a Game King video poker machine configured for multi-denomination play. If you're in Las Ve
V gas,
you're probably already standing next to one.
2. Flag down a slot attendant and ask them to enable the Double Up option. Say thank you and smile until
they walk away.

3. Insert money or a voucher and select the lowest denomination level off
f ered by the machine—for example,
$1 per credit on a $1, $2, $5, $10 machine.
4. Choose your favorite game variant—Triple Double Bonus Poker is fun—and start playing.

5. Keep playing at the $1 level until you win a big hand. An $800 royal flush is perfect.
6. With your royal flush showing but not yet cashed out, hit the More Games button on the touchscreen and
select a diff
f erent game variation. Play it until you score a win.

7. Insert more money or a voucher into the machine.

8. To
T uch the More Games button again, and change to the maximum denomination—in this case, $10 per
credit. Then return to your original $800 royal flush.

9. Press the Cash Out button. “Jackpot! $8,000” will appear on the screen and the light on the top of the
machine will illuminate. Congratulations!
10. Wa
W it for the slot attendant to show up with an IRS form W-2G (“certain gambling winnings”). Once you've
signed it, they'll get the machine to spit out a jackpot ticket.

That stain on the board's integrity haunts the division to this day. But by all evidence, the
division's paranoia, coupled with the game industry's self-interest, have kept video
gambling code clean and mostly free of exploitable bugs. That made the Game King case an
intriguing puzzle for Lastusky. Armed with the surveillance footage of Kane in action,
Lastusky sat at one of the Game Kings in the lab and began experimenting. Within a few
days he was able to reliably reproduce the exploit himself. He gave his findings to IGT,
which rushed out a warning to its customers advising them to immediately disable the
Double Up option. “Replacement programs are being expedited,” the company explained.
Every Game King on the planet running a vulnerable version would need a patch. The
upgrade process would be grueling. When an operating system like Windows or OS X has a
security bug, customers can download the patch in a few minutes over the Internet. Slot
machines aren't online. New programs are burned onto EPROMs by the manufacturer and
shipped in the mail in plastic tubes.
Blind to the firestorm erupting in Vegas, Nestor spent the rest of July and most of August
playing at the Meadows, until August 31, when the casino finally got suspicious and refused
to pay Nestor on a four of a kind. Nestor protested but walked away, breaking into a run as
he reached the parking garage.
Nestor was up more than $480,000. The Game King ride was over, but he had enough
money to last him forever.
At 1:30 pm on October 6, 2009, a dozen state and local police converged on Andre
Nestor's split-level condo on a quiet, tree-lined street in Swissvale. He was dozing on his
living room couch when the banging started. “State police! Open up!” The battering ram hit
the door seconds later, splintering the frame and admitting a flood of cops into the house.
Nestor says he started toward the stairs, his hands over his head, when he came face-to-
face with a trooper in full riot gear. “Get on the floor!” yelled the trooper, leveling his AR-15
at Nestor's face. Nestor complied. The cop ratcheted the handcuffs on Nestor's wrists,
yanked him to his feet, and marched him into the kitchen.
For the next two hours, Nestor watched helplessly, handcuffed to a kitchen chair, while the
police ransacked his neat home. They flipped over his mattress, ripped insulation from his
ceiling, rifled his PC. At about 4 pm, Nestor's roommate, Laverde, arrived home and was
arrested on the spot as an accomplice to Nestor's crimes.
It was the first major gambling scandal in Pennsylvania since the state had legalized slots
in 2004. The media portrayed Nestor as a real-life Danny Ocean, and prosecutors hit him
with 698 felony counts, ranging from theft to criminal conspiracy. The district attorney
seized every penny of Nestor's winnings and gave it back to the Meadows. Nestor and
Laverde spent about 10 days in the county jail before making bail.
A defiant Nestor vowed to fight the case—no jury would convict a gambler, he was certain,
for beating a slot machine at its own game. But on January 3, 2011, when it was time for
jury selection, Nestor was hit with another surprise. Two FBI agents showed up and pulled
him from the Washington County courthouse. The Justice Department had taken over the
case. Nestor and Kane had both been charged federally in Las Vegas.
As the agents walked him to their car, Nestor stopped in front of a television camera and
let loose. “I'm being arrested federally now—for winning at a slot machine!” he shouted in
disbelief. “This is what they do to people! They put a machine on the floor, and if it has
programming that doesn't take your money and you win on their machine, they will throw
you in jail!”
The Las Vegas prosecutors charged Nestor and Kane with conspiracy and violations of the
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Passed in 1986, the CFAA was enacted to punish hackers
who remotely crack computers related to national defense or banking. But in the Internet
age the government had been steadily testing the limits of the law in cases that didn't
involve computer intrusion in the usual sense. Kane and Nestor, the government argued,
exceeded their otherwise lawful access to the Game King when they knowingly exploited a
bug. The casinos only authorized gamers to play by the rules of video poker. “To allow
customers to access previously played hands of cards at will, would remove the element of
chance and obviate the whole purpose of gambling,” assistant US attorney for the District
of Nevada Michael Chu argued in a court filing. “It would certainly be contrary to the rules
of poker.”
The defense attorneys pushed for dismissal of the computer hacking charge, on the
grounds that anything the Game King allowed players to do through its interface was
“authorized access” by definition: The whole point of playing slots is to beat the machine,
and it's up to the computer to set and enforce limits. “All these guys did is simply push a
sequence of buttons that they were legally entitled to push,” says Leavitt, Kane's attorney.
The pretrial motions dragged on for more than 18 months, while in the larger legal
landscape, the CFAA was going under a microscope for the first time since its passage. In
January 2013, coder and activist Aaron Swartz committed suicide after being charged
under the same law for bulk-downloading academic articles without permission, spurring
calls for reform. Three months later, the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals threw out
computer hacking charges in a closely watched case against David Nosal, a former
executive at a corporate recruiting firm who persuaded three employees to leak him
information from the firm's lead database. The Ninth Circuit found that pilfering contacts
doesn't become computer hacking just because the data came from a computer instead of a
copy machine.
Seeing parallels to the Game King prosecution, the judge overseeing Kane and Nestor's
case ordered the government to justify the hacking charge. The prosecutors didn't even try,
opting instead to drop the charge—leaving only an ill-fitting “conspiracy to commit wire
fraud” count remaining.
Prosecutors had a weak hand, and they knew it. As a December 3, 2013, trial date
approached, the Feds made Kane and Nestor separate but identical offers: The first one to
agree to testify against the other would walk away with five years of probation and no jail
time.
The old gambling buddies had one more game to play together. It was the Prisoner's
Dilemma. Without speaking, they both arrived at the optimal strategy: They refused the
offer. A few months later, the Justice Department dropped the last of the charges, and they
were free.

Kane and Nestor haven't spoken since 2009. After his Silverton arrest, Kane began
recording classical music in his house and uploading the videos to a YouTube channel. Last
March, after the federal case was dropped, he sent a CD of some of his performances to his
high school piano teacher. “I'm essentially now retired from a career in business, have
remained single, leading a quiet suburban life,” he wrote.
Nestor's greatest regret is that he let the Game King bug come between him and Kane. “I
didn't want it to go that far,” he says. “I thought he and I were friends long enough that
these kinds of issues didn't need to happen.” He claims he always intended to pay Kane his
cut from the secret jackpots. Now he can't. His roommate, Laverde, signed over Nestor's
money in exchange for avoiding a trial of his own. (There are no court filings to suggest
that Kane's winnings were seized.) Nestor says the Meadows still has his winnings, and the
IRS is chasing him for $239,861.04 in back taxes, interest, and penalties—money he
doesn't have.
If there's one silver lining, it's that Nestor has been banned from Pennsylvania casinos. He
still gambles occasionally in neighboring states, but his more pressing addiction right now
is Candy Crush, which he plays on a cheap Android tablet. He cleared 515 levels in two
months, using a trick he found on the Internet to get extra lives without paying.
