Re: Royalless streak continues
olds...since mohegan .25 single line machines are awful the last few times ive gone im playing the game king single line.05 machines...there are 2 banks of them....one of them is on the earth side(i call it the dark side)..there is a bank of either 8 or 10 machines in the vp room..the other bank of 5 is on the sky side non smoking area...ive played exclusively triple kicker(triple double bonus)..i play 15-25 credits per punch...not all machines have the triple kicker game(check the menu)..ive had very good results over the last 3 sessions..of course it can be volatile...by the way if u dont already know in the same room(sky non smoking) there is a bank of 5 .25 and 5 .50 game king machines and some(not all) have the triple kicker game..i couldnt care less about paytables...mohegans machines are so amped up that paytables mean nothing..as a aside have you noticed how many dealt 3 of a kind 2;3;4 youve been getting and none(except on white hot aces)ever convert..before my recent play on the .05 machines i played .25 ddb;sddb;and white hot aces mostly..i was sagamore for like 5 yrs and last yr they downgraded me to wolf..now i dont care anymore about the perks plus half the machines dont give pts anyway..last nite on the wind side on 3 different .05 machines i hit quad 3s w/kicker twice and quad 4s w/kicker once..also got 4aces but no kicker...pulled out almost 600 profit....the time b/4 on the dark side hit 4 aces w/kicker and a 2 card draw royal..all of these were on triple kicker(tdb)..im sticking w/the nickles till they stop working

Thanks for the tip. I will give the nickels a try until as you said, they ruin those too. My friend hit for over 500- on the tripp kicker game under the turtle playing 10 nickels the other day. That is all they play now. I play a lot of quarter games on the other side of that bank, and see results like you described. The premium quads come in on games where they mean nothing and you don't get them on the games where they count. I would love to be able to prove what has been done to the supposed rng programs on the quarter and up machines. I think they are covered legally since when the player return stats are given to the public, the percentages are lumped in with slot return percentages. I guess the vp machines are considered to be nothing more that slots. That is why I now call them slot poker and DaBurglar calls vp machines slottified machines.

Interjecting some mathematics here:
With 4 possible royals in a 52-card deck the average number of hands between dealt royals would be 649,740. Still there's a little less than 37 percent chance you won't have been dealt a royal after that many hands. For a 50 percent chance of being dealt a royal you'd need to play somewhat more than 450,000 hands; there's slightly more than a 5 percent change you won't be dealt a royal in 2 million hands.
Good mathematics!

But it's a lot worse than that. olds says that he hasn't got a royal at all in 450k hands. Depending on the game variant(s) played, the chances of that given a random video poker machine are anywhere between 1 in 20,000 and 1 in 60,000.

438,000 hands...no Royal dealt or otherwise...Pulled a double marathon. Lucky enough to get bailed out this time with deuces quads. Caught one with 12 quarters in. The Martingale clone has bailed me out this way quite a few times and only stung me once so far.If anyone is interested, I play just enough quarters to be even or a little better if the deuces quads hit, but the Royal doesn't. So far, I haven't had to play more than the quarter level allows which is 25. I also have the option to switch to dollars on the same machine. The one stung time happened because I ran out of time, not because I would have had to bet more than max bet on the machine to be even if the deuces hit. I know there is the potential to get stung pretty good here, but in this no Royal scenario, this is the only defense mechanism I have to use at this point on the deuces wild game.

444,000 hands now and no Royal dealt or otherwise. Near the end of the session, I gave up on Deuces and played a little Double Down Stud Deuces wild. Luckily, caught two five of a kinds and a Wild Royal. Enough to damage control, but that is about it. This no Royal thing is unbeliveable. SPX I hear you too!!! I also played 3 hours of 20 line spin poker Bonus Deuces wild and caught no Royal on any line and not even Deuces. I didn't even count that in the above number. My true number now if had been counting multi line, would be closer to 1 million hands. I am nearly one hundred percent convinced now that vp machines are nothing more than slots and do not operate with an unaltered rng program.

Oh meant to add this time I had dealt 4 to it 4 times. And yes I agree that's why we might as well play slots. I think pre-deal its random after that its control by a payback% So its a slot machine with a chance to spin the 3rd real a second time.

450,000 hands now. Not even close this trip. No deuces quads and Double Down stud did not bail me out this time. I did not include the DD stud play which was about 3k hands in the above total.
