3 of a kind? I only care about getting 4 of a kind with a kicker though ;)

Nice one, HH. I've been playing TTB lately, and the $1 "triple" still eludes me. I've had a bunch on quarters though in the past.

@ppp thank you! If you can find 9/6 version, then it’s a huge deal. The best game in my area is 9/5 only.

There are some major strategy differences between these 2 versions. One of them is going for low pair instead of 4 to flush in 9/5.

Good luck!

Correct. 9/6 TTB. But, the pre-virus carousel of 6 machines with 9/6 is down to 3 machines. And, one of those has a busted bill acceptor. So I can't always get on one and I have to settle for 9/7 TDB.

This month I have $300 in FP; so that covers the theoretical loss on many hours of the game. But, as we all know, the actual results could be far, far away.
