I have often enough been dealt a casino quad after what felt like an exhausting life or death ordeal. I now tend to believe that it’s the programmer crying uncle. They will concede a Pyrrhic victory to reward the player’s sheer tenacity. Congratulations, you waited us out. We can’t throw any more losses at you without skewing our stats. Here’s your damn quad, maniac. Same idea when I hit my Harrah’s redraw RF. So I concur with your assessment.

One viewer warned him of a potential RNG impediment.
Do you recall which video had the comment? I'd like to see it in context, if any.

I haven’t even seen it. The comment can stand on its own. But it’s the one in which he lost $4,500, from what I read of the comments section.

In that case, I'll give it all the consideration it deserves.

S&M has too many recent videos for me to search through all the comments, but no biggie.

That RNG variant alluded to is somewhat concerning. I’ll have to read up on how it’s purported to work.

FAA, if you start wondering about things like this you will find yourself in a not too comfortable rabbit hole and you should just as well stop playing video poker in casinos all together.

Yeah, no doubt. I’ve already forgotten about it! It is what it is.

I have never experienced dud cycles as long as at the casino either playing on this site or Wolf vp program I have also not experienced short compressed win cycles anywhere on a program as I have at the casinos. I truly believe that’s how they do things sometimes. Hope you go broke in a dud cycle and then make up for it to stay within the payback range listed or programmed by having a bunch of wins in a very short cycle. I have seen this scenario repeated over and over again over the multi millions of hands that I have played. That is why I have resorted to in the last few sessions starting with a very low denomination machine hoping I can wait them out. The downside is almost every cycle for me turns into a marathon before I get them back. I have had more than one slot attendant usually the ones that are quitting imminently or retiring tell me the random number generators are only partially so. But they never elaborate either because they don’t know the details or they are afraid to divulge them I could say that this is attributable to the nature of randomness to have swings like this if I could duplicate those results in programs either on this site or like on wolf video poker I would say it’s just random being random but I cannot Whoever heard of someone having to scenarios of going over 600,000 hands without a royal flush. You are listening to one of them and I have posted about it over the years quite a few times. I haven’t even come close on my practice sites maybe at the most 150,000 tops without a royal on the practice sites To add to the craziness I have had way more royal redraws than I ever should have in a lifetime and many many more dealt quad deuces then I should have in a lifetime. Go figure. A couple of sessions ago while I was still playing jacks or better before I switch to what I am doing now, in one hour on jacks or better on a quarter game I was dealt quad aces with a two. I can’t even imagine the probability of that happening probably in the billions. Just to correct that a bit if I remember one of the quad aces was dealt and when I hit draw a two appeared
Old, are you saying the dud cycle is longer at casino or longer on wolf video poker??
which is better for the player do you think??
i have tested my personal betting system on 9/5 ddb geared towards the 800 jackpot and with a 1-7 spread (.25-25$) it does get the money 98% of the time just too risky to try in real life, i actually tested
on a online casino backed by IGT gameking logo and lost around 300$ risked 1k$ but i didnt like it, i farted around with a 4k$ roll same site and hit the 40k jackpot i think all i needed was 3 grand, hey that royal flush was bound between all the hands i played before up to that royal right?

masque,wolf, novemeber 31st and this site and also a endorsed gambling site by the wizard of odds
they all have their own personal ebb n flow of RNG to the player.

the casino IGT depending upon which model the classic upright seems to be the streakiest of em all imo
i read 1 player likes to bring 100$ an hour for FPDW and my last gambling cashing out my freeplay he would be right, lost 100$ in 45min flat pretty expensive, was thinking better off at the baccarat stadium cant get beat up that fast that much! but then tried 50$ more and didnt lose a penny got all the hands, wild royal and 5 of a kind (playing 95% dw) and15min later 4 ducks.

i havent gone back, they have promotion in march, 25$freplay for 100k wscore points (free for anyoine who has acount play at home and redeem at casino) i really dont know modern rebates in vegas/ac but i think if you lose 2-3 grand they give you back 1 grand is that the standard or good or bad or what?
im also thinking slots maybe better play than poker for comps buit cant bring myself to playing slots unless i knew for certaintly that it works

I don’t practice at home on this site or on wolf video poker anywhere near the hours I put in at the casino probably only 10% of such but at least what I found so far is the dud cycles are always Longer at the casino but they seem to give most everything back compressed together. My session last night posted on the recreational forum is a prime example of that. Almost all of my lifetime and pays have been very late in the evening and very early morning especially between 4 and 7 AM including this batch because of that I played almost exclusively overnight now usually starting just before midnight and sometimes going to as late as 8 AM or so I am pretty sure the return percentages match the pay table by the end of the year but I also think that what they are counting on is most people don’t have the time, bankroll, stamina, or knowledge to wait them out.

i dont know any amount of bankroll would help me in 7/5 bonus poker on that machine that features dreamcard and quick quads, its quickquad 7/5 but w/ the feature disbled, i never get that ebb n flow on the newer model machines i get from the older models, maybe i havent played them long enough, on a side note, deciding if i wish to spend 1300ish$ to fly to vegas or spend next nothing and enjoy atlantic city beach for the summer, leaning towards ac for now,

my rewards at windcreek bethlehem has gone down, trading 2-3 grand for 1 grand or play traditional comps down in ac? still undecided
