"Up To 99.8% Machines"

Post by Sea Lion »

Has anyone ever hit a royal on these? Me, never. They have a bank of these slanted machines outside west of the high limit room at Orleans and the floor staff there mentioned that they have never seen anyone hit a royal or 4AWK on any of these. Same at Red Rock. No one to my knowledge has ever hit a royal on those either. or Texas Station. No royal or 4AWK. Random RNG spinning? of course. They are supposedly programmed to not determine what is dealt or drawn which has me thinking that there are other components built into those machines can legally throw these machines off in favor of the casino. What gives? Those machines should be titled "99.8% you will lose your money in these." :down:

I hit one at Palace Station on ACE$. That was before they reduced the number of 98.8% down to 6 machines.

The last royal I hit, before we stopped playing at local casinos due to the smoke, was at Fort McDowell a number of years ago on one of their 10/6 DDB $.25 machines with the SF penalty (40 vs 50 or 200 vs 250 max coin). Close to a 99.8% machine. Ironically, I drew 4 while holding the singleton ace of clubs.

I have, but not at that location. Got plenty of NSUD (99.72 (Or 73 depending how you round)). A bunch of AWAK on 40/10/6 DDB (99.96). First dealt royal came on 9/6 JoB STP SP (99.82).

Sea Lion,
Keep the faith. Sweet C and I used to play at Red Rock a lot! We've both hits Royals and AWAK on those machines. This past family trip to Green Valley, I caught AWAK on one of them.

Wouldn't you know it, my wife hit 4AWK at Orleans playing 9/6 Aces and Faces last weekend on the very same machines I was griping about. All it takes is a post here on the forum and bam! 4AWK!! I have hit that at GVR and wife a Royal at GVR on those. Someone must have done flipped the switch in the back room off hahahaha!

As for me, I hit 4AWK at Main Street Monday night on 9/6 DDB, so off to a good start for this week. :up:

You might also see it denoted as 'AWAK'
