Please allow me to introduce myself.
Hello, and welcome to my website, EGDSecrets.com. For the purposes of this discussion, you can call me Mark. I’m a certified slot machine technician, and I have been for many years. Because I’m a slot technician working in the casino industry and I don’t wish to lose my job, I hope you’ll forgive me if I don’t use my real name. I promise, that’s the only thing on this website that I’ve made up.
You may be wondering what the EGD in EGDSecrets stands for. EGD stands for Electronic Gaming Device, and is a fancy way of saying slot machine. EGD is what we call them in my business. And the secrets? Well, let’s just say that there is quite a bit of information out there that most slot players don’t know. Luckily, I do, and I’m here to teach you all about it. This is the real deal; No lies, no gimmicks, no snake oil, no kidding.
If you’ve been looking for slot machine information you’ve probably been bombarded by misconceptions, mis-truths, and all out lies regarding slot machines and their operation. You’ve probably heard phrases like “Beat the slots,” or “Make $1000 a day playing slot machines.” These are, of course, marketing hype. I’m here to not only expose scam artists and hucksters for who they are, but to show you just what you can actually do in order to dramatically increase your payback and odds of winning. Here you will learn the real truth from a real technician, and you will learn why slot systems and methods are a waste of your time and money. You can stop wondering if there is a system or method to beat the slots, there isn’t.
Avoid scams like that and learn the truth from a real Slot Technician.
What I’ve done in order to teach slot players and the gambling public how to play slots is write a book. My book, EGDSecrets: Reel Truth, Right From the Source is comprised of years of experience, research, question and answers, and good solid strategy. If you want to know how to get that confident feeling, the feeling of KNOWING that you’re getting the best bet, the best odds, and the best payback, then you need to read my book. This isn’t a small little pamphlet or hastily written word document. There are plenty of those already. What I’ve done is actually sat down, compiled all my slot technician knowledge and experience into a 134 page book, had it copy edited, printed, recorded in a voice-over studio, and even made into an audiobook so that people could listen to it in their car on the way to Vegas. Why have I done this? Listen for yourself.
Here’s the truth about slot machines, and how to play them.
Slot machines are designed to take your money, and you will never consistantly win, or consistantly beat the house. That’s a fact. It also sounds like pretty bad news, right? Well, here’s the good news: There are many things you can do to ensure that you’re getting the best payback possible… and most slot players don’t do them. Think you might be one of them? If you’ve never talked to a slot technician or really studied how the machines work, you probably are. There’s more good news… I can take care of that little problem. I know how to play the slot machines, and I know how to play them for maximum payback – all the time. I’m not talking about budgeting or no-brainer strategies. Lots of websites out there tell you to “stop playing a machine if it’s cold.” Really? Figure that out on your own didja? What I’m talking about is sitting down at a machine and KNOWING that you’re going to get the best odds in the casino. Have you ever felt that way? YOU CAN.
I’m a real person, a real technician, and really wrote this book.
So what’s the catch? No catch. The information is real, it works, and all you have to do is follow the tips and information I’ve laid out for you in my book. If you’ve been looking around for slot machine information, then you know that most scammers out there selling junk will typically force you to sign up for some mailing list first. Then they’ll charge you anywhere from $47 to $195 for their information. I have no such desire to rip you off like that.

The price for my book is comparible to any real published book that you might find in your local bookstore or on Amazon. In fact, my book IS on Amazon. Get a copy and you’ll get that feeling of settling down into your slot chair, looking around, and knowing that you’ll be getting the best odds. You can finally learn how to get the best payback possible anywhere, and know it will work because it’s the truth.

Program Description

With the dramatic local expansion of casino gaming machines simultaneously joining technological change in the industry, a gaping void exists in available educational opportunities associated with gaming equipment repair. With this certificate program, Erie Community College can plug this void with classes aimed at training students to become gaming machine repair technicians.
This program is designed to provide education and training in the repair and maintenance of casino gaming machines. Its purpose is to prepare individuals for jobs as technicians who will service the gaming industry's sophisticated electronic equipment. Students may include persons new to the industry, as well as employees already in the industry who may wish to upgrade their skills. Individuals already working as electronic technicians may wish to add a new skill set. Moreover, it will make possible another career alternative for students in the Computer Repair Technology Program.
The design of the program recognizes that the CGM repair technician is essentially a computer repair technician, and builds upon the courses that comprise the first year of computer repair technology. Then it adds the missing elements in an additional CGM system maintenance course. It is a 25-credit hour program, designed for full-or part-time study – two semesters full-time or three semesters part-time. The first half of the curriculum includes mathematics, recognition of components, circuit testing and safety issues. The second half deals with advanced electronic skills, computer logic and microprocessors. Electronic troubleshooting is featured in the new course.
