Thursday night at Rampart- 9/6 DDB 10-play nickels - 1st $100 bill in - dealt 4 Q's. Up $125.
Friday night at SouthPoint - 9/6 DDB 10-play nickels (on the 50 play machines near the Oyster Bar. Quads were not hitting enough to stay alive. After losing the 4th $100 bill, threw in the towel and called it a night. Down -$400.
Saturday afternoon at Sams Town - 9/5 DDB 10-play nickels, yes 9/5 - 1st $100 bill. Hit various quads, and 4AWK off a pair. Cashed out and stuck another $100 in and hit a RF off 3 cards. Got my $400 back from the previous night. On the 9/5 if I get dealt 4 to a flush and 3 of them are to the royal, I go for the royal. On the 9/6 version, I go for the flush.
One of the things I did was if I stuck a $100 bill in and got the machine up to $200 or over, I would cash out and stick another $100 in and try to do the same. As of recently this has become a bit more difficult to do, so I cash it out when it hits or goes over $150, then repeat with another one. When this doesn't work I have to set my limits usually around $500 and if I hit that limit and no bite, then I have to accept the defeat and try again on the next visit.
Living, working, knowing people who work in the industry including IT, and having unlimited access to the casinos I tend to hear things from people that I wish I did not hear, and with as much playing as I can and do here, it is almost not impossible to believe some of this stuff. This has no reflection on this site, just my personal experience.
