I did try it the other night, but only for 5 minutes and dropped a hundred in 5 minutes. You are right about needing 5 grand. On Deuces Wild, with the Martingale Clone, I can get away with 2,000 for a session if I start with quarters to halves to dollars if the machine stays cold. My enemy is being satisfiedwith a hundred or 200 bucks a session. I know nobody will believe me, but playing the clone and starting with quarters, I have never failed to be up a hundred bucks at some point. Quitting at that point is another story altogether. And that includes sessions where I never hit a Royal or even quad deuces. I do make a mistake the math guys would frown upon, but with the clone, making the mistake works much better for me on Airport Deuces. I don’t hold 2 cards to a Royal like a suited KJ or AK. I also don’t try for the straight flush with a gap for instance deuce 8, 10. or deuce 5, 7.

On a trip there when I was welcome there I put a 100 dollar bill in the dollar pickem. as u know a quad pays 600 dollars. quads come around every 2 hrs or so if u play fairly fast. u could get 3 quads in 10 min.or none in 10 hours ! I hit 4 quads in 20 min. my 100 dollars turned into apx 2400 dollars !! one caveat 2 hrs later the whole 2400 dollars went bye bye , almost like the Coney island cyclone rollercoaster !!

Yep, on my last trip there, I hit a $ 600 quad right away and a few other things and was up $700 in 10 minutes. I quit and took my profit.

How severe are your strategy errors? You don't seem the type to rigorously follow an optimal strategy.

Btw, KJs <> AKs. The K-high is always held except when overloaded with penalty cards. The A-high is hindered by limited straight potential, and therefore is never held.

The cyclone is still there and providing thrills unlike your MS bankroll. The parachute jump is no longer operating but stands as a monument, sort of like the fading pictures of royal flushes I may have had in the distant past.

its still there ? last time I was in bklyn was 10 years ago playing 9 ball for 400 dollars a set , race to seven !

it was at skyline billiards .

Some blackjack players on other forums would say that the shuffler is rigged here.

9 hands later on this stupid game.

10 minutes later...
