Video Poker Forum

Borgata has a 10x slot day tomorrow. I always try to go, but have meetings tomorrow that I now can't get out of. Wish I knew of the 10x day before I booked the meetings. Place will be packed. You need to get there by 10 AM or so to make sure you can get on a good VP machine by the time the promo starts at 12 noon.

 I posted the 10x on Jan 12 on the post titled "Anyone played Borgata 10x on May 18" Next time I'll put it on this post. I went down last weekend and the hotel & casino was not very crowed. I played the new VP machine by the 25¢ triple play joker poker near the Music Box. I had a good session playing Deuces Joker Poker. I started out playing 25¢. I was getting a lot of winnings hands. So I raised it to 50¢. The machine kept giving me winning hands. So I raised it up to $1. I played for about 3 hours and then it started to die. I cashed out up $300.

Thanks, Jim, I'm losing my memory. My secretary puts meetings in my book if I don't cross a day out, so I screwed up.

What games are on that triple play?

Jim, yours is the aggressive strategy I yearn to take, had I the backbone. If all is smooth sailing, raise the damn stakes and cash in on a hot cycle while you can. Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor.

What games are on that triple play?Only AC Joker Poker. 25¢ progressive that starts at $50,000. You need to be dealt the 4 aces and the joker to win the progressive jackpot. These machines are run by IGT and they located through out AC.

Jim, yours is the aggressive strategy I yearn to take, had I the backbone. If all is smooth sailing, raise the damn stakes and cash in on a hot cycle while you can. Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor.The machine do have their cycles. When I am getting a lot of wild cards and winning hands. I'll bump it up and see how it goes. When I get time, coins thru and denomination It helps towards my comps. So I just "GO WITH THE FLOW"

Yes, you can't be the eunuch in the bordello. Intuitive strategy paid off yesterday. CET machines were smoking hot and I abandoned my cheap bets to go all in. Two max quads worth $250 (Caesars, Harrah's) and +$294 overall. It's hardly a mystery. Believe your eyes. The wins are rolling in. It's a clarion call. Shift gears and go into aggressive mode. Race car drivers would kill VP. They have the survival instincts and smarts to weave through just about anything.

So I just "GO WITH THE FLOW" [/QUOTE]How do you explain "Cycles" in otherwise RANDOM machines?    I'm not arguing or disagreeing with you that there are INDEED cycles, because I have seen them too......Mostly BAD cycles but a few good ones too.   I attribute it to MY PERCEPTION, based on the data and results I See and experience and analyze, that the games in AC , at certain times and in certain casinos, are statistically ABNORMAL and therefore, questionable as to their integrity.

Cycles have always been a suspiciously curious feature of VP. AC is my only experience. We get killed the rest of the time, correct? It behooves us to ride the discernible cycle all the way to pay dirt. Hopefully hand pay dirt. Carpe diem. That's good advice, not just another empty platitude.
