It started Thursday afternoon at Casino Arizona-Indian Bend, on an IGT MG/MD playing $2 Shockwave.  I get  dealt royal. Switch games to a short pay 8/5 DDB and collect $1600 with 4 Aces no/kicker.Friday afternoon I go to  Fort McDowell and on an old model IGT $1 9/6 DDB slant top dollars and hit quad Aces three times in about 20 minutes.  After the third payout and hoping for the kicker to show up on the Aces, up jumps my second royal.So today, Saturday thinking I might be on a roll like I had the first of the year, I venture out to Harrahs Ak-Chin.  Dropped a few hundred on a dollar progressive DB 9/6 that was over $8k but to no avail.  After a great dinner at the range I went to the high limit room and gave the $1 Multi-Strike DB a shot.  Second hand in and I'm dealt 4-8's on the 8x line.  $2000.00 Sweet.Moved to the uprights single line MG/MD in the same area and select the $2 DB and it deals me another royal for $8k.  By this time I'm falling out of my chair. Time to go home. But wait the wife is playing video keno over by the players club and doing pretty well, so I sit down behind her on the triple play machines. 9/5 DDB.  After a few hands I hold 3 to the royal and up jumps the rest of the family on the top line. By now I'm feeling almost light headed and move to the machine on my left.  Put in a hundy and after the 3rd hand, up jumps my THIRD royal on the evening.  Time to really get out of Dodge. And yes, I took it all in cash.  This is Arizona and everone I know carries a gun.  Unbelievable you say?  Me too.  However I already submitted the first dealt royal and the aces pics to VP Free and will be submitting these last 3 royals sometime Sunday for your consideration.  Skill? or Devine Providence?  I say Devine Providence!!!!  No matter how hard you practice you just can't win like this without it.

I am delighted to hear of your great streak.  I hope it continues through out this year!  Please report back and let us if it is continues.  Congrats!

WTG Casino Knight, 'happy for you. You serve as an inspiration to some of us who have not been doing so hot lately! How can I hit big time playing some fun games on gold site and not in casinos? Same games and cards. Why, why?While I'm here, go see Jay Leno's amazing stand up act when you get a chance! While the Tonight Show is great, he offers so much more comedy in a live performance! He performed two packed nights at the Palace and did so much good for the Detroit metro area. Be prepared to laugh for two solid hours. Kid Rock introduced him after a moving musical performance by The Sun Messengers.

Thank you both, for the kind words.  I hadn't played since January, but decided to make the rounds again.  Glad I did.  BTW, as we were getting ready to leave and gathering up our stuff from a Harrah's give-away we'd collected, a guy sits down at the same machine I'd just hit for a Royal.  Pops in a twenty, selects double double bonus on the quarter game, hits max bet, and is dealt FOUR ACES WITH A KICKER.  $1500.00. SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I play those same machines at Harrah's Ak-Chin and usually do very well. So much for you-know-who's comments about the machines at Indian Casinos being gaffed and unregulated.

Damule--- You must be talking about the bozo wizard!

I also go to Ak Chin most every weekend....done ok but nothing like that! Congrats....

I've been playing and winning in Indian casinos for 10 years and it does drive you-know-who crazy every time I mention it. I think he lost big time and could not accept that he was just a poor player.

You mean this guy

Wow!!!!!That is just INCREDIBLE!Good going!!!
