300,000 divided by 365 would be about 821 hands everyday for 365 days. If the 300,000 was from records kept since late last year you could then say 183 days (6 months) of 1,642 hands a day, everyday for 6 months straight.
 
WOW, that's alot of play.

 Glad you are no longer ignoring my posts, I feel a greater sense of purpose knowing I have your full attention, I'll just try not to offend your sensibilities with any off-color remarks about societal woes, racial or gender issues and global warming being a farce. 300K may seem a lot to you, but its not that hard to attain....I am sure you have played more hands than you actually realize, most people do. From around September 2012 thru mid-April of this year (April 10) I visited AC around twice a month with my average stay between 5-7 days.   Altogether I spent about 80 days total. I only play 25 cent denomination so the demands on my bankroll are on the low side and predictable because I never jump up, even on the rare chance I am ahead (in AC). Keeping detailed records slows me down, but over the past half year or so, I ditched keeping detailed hand results, and only focused on winning/payable hands (jacks or better) versue no-payable losers, or duds.  This allows me to easily play and record 400-500 hands an hour.  I play anywhere from 8 to 10 hours per day when in AC, sometimes a little more, or less, depending on the weather,  Since this play took place during winters cold months I was definitely playing more than beach combing in AC. SO you can see 300K isnt really that incredible for a hand count.  On a related subject, someone mentioned how Online Gaming is rigged, and this is definitely true, and I actually have, courtesy of one certain online gaming site, REAL Incontrovertible proof of rigging that the site sent me themselves!   I couldnt believe it, but they sent me a play log of my Video Poker play on their site, and my loser rate playing their 9/6 JOB online game was also 75%!!!   They sent me a nice excel spreadsheet file that allowed me to calculate the rate in 2 minutes!   it only encompassed about 500 hands total but still......Online gaming is for sure rigged, although they will tell you, just like in AC, that their actions are well within the scope of whatever "regs" they claim to follow.

shadowman ... can you possibly provide specifics?  where do you primarily play to accrue  these winnings?   What games and denominations?

I've played many places over the last 15 years since I retired. Primarily, I played in MN casinos. I played dollar OEJs which returns 100.28%. The casino I played at the last 3 years also has monthly promotions, freeplay and cashback. Free meals are available whenever I want them.

The bad news is the casino just removed those machines last month. If I want to continue to play I will have to drive 3 times further and receive fewer benefits. More than likely I will only do this on rare occasions.

I also spent my winters in LV for 5 years and played quite a bit. I played off-strip and always positive return games.

During the last 15 years I only lost money over one full year (2003). While I've had many good and bad runs I've never had any reason to doubt the randomness of the machines I have played. It helps to keep good records.
