4th time I've hit $10k on Supertimes in the past 2 years. This was last month, it happens.
Hey mule, long time no hear. Good to see you're still kickin'. I would have imagined you would have had a few of these beauties. I only played extensively enough for that one year, so my examples are quite few. Though with Double Super Times Pay, I had twice as many chances at multipliers when I was playing.

When a friend asks.....friends do.
Thanks Ted, I will try and use this later this weekend or early next week. See, I also need to get the picture from my phone gallery to a computer. I know, I know. I have never taken the time to even do the simple stuff … unless it involved a little math. Different interests for different souls.
New; I have full confidence that you'll accomplish this task. Right now my 1 year old Grand Nephew most likely knows more about the features on a smartphone than I do.....

...all day, 24/7, and still never hit a Royal x10.

The game is frustrating as hell and I question the so-called "payback". You could literally put tens of millions into these dumb machines and win nothing.
My first ever dealt royal came on quarter 9/6 JoB STP Spin Poker (no multuplier) for a sweet $9000. Overall made well over $50k from those 2 machines before they got rid of them.

I thought I had uploaded all 6 photos. This is of course the first 10x Royal, that was discussed in the middle of my post. I will try again one at a time. I think I will just try to show the dealt royal and the other 10x royal at this time.

(You might note in this photo, that I was one card away from getting $20,000 on this hit. Oh, well, this was double my previous highest jackpot.)

Thanks, Ted and Webman. This turned out to be pretty easy. For those who have pictures on their phone, the one step that I was worried about was actually adding the files.

Webman suggested that I simply check in to the forum from my phone. After clicking on Add Files, my phone gave me two options, Camera and Files. I selected Files and could not find what I wanted, but there was a listing icon on my phone which allowed me to select Photos. Then I went there, checked the photo(s) that I wanted, selected Done, and then proceeded with the rest of Tedlark's excellent algorithm.

I will say the first time through, I selected 6 photos, including the 3 "normal" run-of-the-mill quarter royals on the same 5-play machine that I included in my story in the previous post. My phone indicated that 6 files downloaded. But just one appeared in the first post as you can see.

I don't know what happened there, but it was no problem for me to simply go through and make the other posts one at a time.

Oh, and thanks to Vman as well for his request. I would not have tried had he not asked.

Nice pics! You've definitely have had some sizable wins on Double STP! It doesn't seem to like me for the most part. Lol

Thanks, Vman. Somebody had to pick up the negative portion of the variance that offset the positive part that I benefited from. Sorry if you got some of that.

Of course, I had some very poor sessions as well.

I think I was probably lucky that the casino downgraded this game a few months after these hits. They moved to games that I could no longer rationalize playing at those stakes. And no doubt this saved me money before the law of averages could take its toll. But I must admit that the allure of that potential 20x multiline royal was quite strong.

Best of luck ... or maybe I should say "best of variance" to you going forward.
