I hate to correct you, WM, but your copy of the e-letter must have been garbled - games with kickers aren't on his menu any more. Hm, I guess my copy was garbled also.

My favorite was the opening Aces w/kicker on hand #12, with "the only significant thing" being a disgusted attendant on the handpay who didn't get a tip. The twelfth hand would be less than a minute of play; in my own 15 years of playing I've hit Aces w/kicker in the first minute of single line play 3-4 times. Last time for me was two years ago, and it was dealt.
I'm still waiting on the official announcement from him that thousands of dollars are no longer necessary for training sessions - just a bit of free play, with $100-$200 in pocket money to cover any unusually bad dry spells during training sessions at $2 play. Maybe that will be in the next e-letter.
I was also sad to read in that e-letter (or the previous one) that the flip "testing" (

) is completed. It would have been nice to know at what point in the future the unrandom-plus-rigged-for-flips machines get set back to the normal rigged-unrandom mode. So many questions left unanswered about that. How widespread is it? Why weren't multiline machines "tested" (

)? Are all denominations affected, or just nickels? Full bets affected, or just one coin bets? I hope in the next "testing" (

) for, uh, whatever, that he's a bit more thorough in both the testing itself and the record-keeping. Kind of lax and sloppy on this go-round.
I hope at some point in time one or more game companies donate an unrigged-random machine or two to the Smithsonian that comply with published regulations so that we can see the difference in play between them and the machines in casinos.
