That’s a great day for sure. I have a quick question. You were playing the same pay table As I can get at Mohegan Sun on quarters. I can only get it on a single line game. If you are dealt a single deuce and say a suited 57 or suited 68, do you just hold the deuce and hope for the ducks, or go for the straight flush? I know there is a small penalty involved for just keeping the deuce, But I am just curious.

SF hold always. Here is an odd one today hitting all 3 very rare.

Thanks. Wow rare indeed! I go for the SF about 90 percent of the time on those holds. Only if I am in imminent danger of a bankroll bust do I eat the small penalty and go for broke literally.

1 in 304,980. Pull it off on 5 play? 8 sextillion, 650 quintillion

wildman was visited by the royals on Friday. When playing multi-hand it always gives me a sense of relief when a royal, or other big paying hand for that matter, hits early when the hand are playing out. wildman hit the royal on the first line and I'm pretty sure that he breathed a little sigh of relief. When I play 10 hand I always like to see a big paying hand within the first five or six hands or otherwise the under the breath grumbles come our of me.

Ditto!!

Who wouldn't? When I play 5 line 50c at Seneca Niagara, I usually start with 400 credits, and, much too often, I'm reaching into my pocket for another $200 within a fairly short period of time. It doesn't take a big paying hand to keep me from the grumbles - as long as I can play on that original contribution for a significant period of time, I'm reasonably happy.

There may be a bit of misunderstanding in my post. I did not mean that i get the grumbles after PLAYING 5 or 6 hands after sitting down but rather I meant that I get the grumbles if I'm dealt a hand like trip aces or trip 2/3/4's or 3 or 4 to the royal when playing TDB and I don't see the needed card(s) come up in the first 5 or 6 hands in the 10 hands. Or when playing ACJP and I'm dealt quads and don't see the needed 5th card within the first 5 or 6 hands or dealt 3 or 4 to a straight flush and am looking for the needed card(s) within the first 5 or 6 hands.

The casino just put some new bar top machines with curved screen. Had a few nice hits.

I had some fun on Shock Wave getting into the mode of 10 hands many times but no 4000 coin 4ok.

Yes always nice to hit the royal early, 2 of the 4 I hit them like 30 mins into the session, gave one back pretty fast. The other I bailed ran for the door.

Those machines look nice. The scrolly menu along the left seems like a great way to organize the many available selections. But I haven't really been able to play because around here, new machines mean bad pay schedules.
