“There are a lot of myths out there about loose slots,” said Ayers. But when a casino uses Strictly Slots to certify its slot machines, they are making a conscious effort to give information directly to their players that they would not be able to obtain from any other source. Knowledgeable players can often figure out the game’s payback just by looking at the payout schedule-such as with games like video poker. “If we weren’t absolutely certain the data is correct, we would never give our seal of approval.” “Certifying these machines is a detailed procedure,” added Vogel.

Double-checking information provided by Don Ayers, Director of Slots at Desert Diamond, with both on-the-floor machine data as well as through the various slot manufacturers involved, we were able to certify that the long- term payback of these games met the criteria of the Strictly Slots’ Loose Slots Certification Program. This month, Strictly Slots verified paybacks on nearly 70 different slots and video poker games located throughout the Desert Diamond Casino. And slot players know, if we certify the machines, they can trust the advertised payouts. By certifying their slots through our program, they are making a clear statement to players. We’re proud to work with casinos like Desert Diamond that go above and beyond to offer their players the most for their gambling budget. And in today’s climate, when for many, finances are tight, they are looking for the very best deals.

“Players-especially our readers- are savvy about the games they play, and how they use their bankroll” said Strictly Slots Editor J. Now Desert Diamond and the Tohono O’odham Nation have something else to celebrate: It is the only casino in Arizona to earn Strictly Slots magazine’s prestigious “Certified Loose Slots” program. With three locations in Southern Arizona (Tucson, Sahuarita, and Why) and having recently celebrated its 30 th anniversary, this Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise operation has for decades assisted the Tohono O’odham Nation, investing in the future of its people and all of Arizona.
