Was visiting The Mirage Hotel in Vegas this weekend on a family get together.

On the last night after having terrible luck the whole trip, took my last $300 to a Hot Roll video poker machine. Started playing (11:35PM) 5-hand $0.50 double double bonus and on the second deal got three aces with an 8 times multiplier (no kicker to hold). Hit the button and got two hands with another ace but no kickers. After getting paid my $6680, I switched to 3-hand $1.00 triple double bonus (this machine only plays triple double on dollars) and on the second hand (11:55 PM) got dealt three 4's (again no kicker to hold) with a 5 times multiplier and hit the button and got one hand with no kicker. After collecting my $2100 decided to switch to 10-hand $0.25 double double (00:18 AM) and again on the second deal got dealt 2 two’s with a 9 times multiplier. Held them and got one hand with a kicker this time.

After collecting another $1823 for a six-hand total of $10,603, I called it a night.

Such a great turn of luck!
