What is a Sando?

A Sando can be one of two things: a slang used by Vegas Matt or a Japanese meal:

1. Sando is Vegas Matt’s slang for any dead spin or non-paying bonus on a slot machine. It is used as an alternative to “sh#t Sandwich” according to Urban Dictionary.

2. A Sando is the Japanese name for a sandwich. Sandos are traditionally made out of milk bread filled with pork cutlets, eggs and various fruits. These sandwiches gained popularity during the post World War II tourism boom. Fun fact: the milk bread higher butter and milk contents allows it to withstand wet ingredients while maintaining a soft texture. Unlike western bread that requires toasting before applying wet ingredients.

How do you win a Sando?

- A Sando is “won” by either losing your all your money, an encounter with a rude person or a slot machine bonus that doesn’t pay at all.

- Alternatively, people prefer to win Grandos where the bonus payout is sizable compared to your bet. Or it’s a Handpay which is over $1,200 USD.

What is a difference between a Sando and a Grando?

- A Sando is a losing spin, a non-winning bonus or a payout that’s less than the original bet. For example, you bet $25 on Dragon Link only to get $20 or less from your free spin bonuses. That’s a Sando. It also applies to table games including blackjack where the dealer pulls an Ace card after pulling a 10 therefore blindsiding the players.

- A Grando is considered a sizable win compared to bet size or a total of $1,000+. Grandos are usually celebrated with “side ways bananas” where Vegas Matt say, “I’m happy as a banana turned sideways!”

Why is the Sando recipe a top secret?

That is a great question! Turns out a Sando only exists in Vegas Matt slang unless you want a Japanese Sando. Eating a Vegas Matt Sando is equivalent to a “Sh#t Sandwich.” Who would want that besides a dung beetle?

Side note: a side ways banana is way taster and is an actual piece of fruit.
