Had one of the best mini-streaks ever so I thought I would share it.  . 
When I first arrived at the Casino started playing this new 10 play .25 TDB.  Great graphic that pays 10-6 bar top.  Pretty darn rare.  Almost immediately was dealt 4 to the royal.  Picked up 1 royal for 1K.  Nice, but since I just got there after an hr. plus drive obviously I'm still going to play.  Well,  didn't get anything even close with a kicker z (a must in TDB)and pissed back almost all of it. Then I proceed to bounce around playing $1 DDB single line over the next several hrs.  Proceed to get wittled down slowly but surely to the point I'm down over 3 K and only had a couple hundred left.  Pathetic really.
 
Went to this 1 machine that I've hit plenty of times.  Have run it up to over 2K and even 3K quite a few times--not easy to do on $1 single line.  Anyway, hit a couple 4oak then hit Aces without a kicker to get up 1,150 credits.  Resigned myself that I would cash out at 1,000 and just take my 2K lumps and go home.  Then with 1,010 credits left was dealt 3 Ace's and hit with a kicker.  Get the hand pay and was dealt trip Ace's 3 more times in a row and hit it again on the 3rd time--and went the hell home! 

Congratulations and thanks for sharing a winning story! 

WOW! congrats and welcome to the forum!

Nice win!!  More luck in the future!

lol - these are the kind of hits that keep you coming back  I did almost the same exact thing.  was getting mauled for hours then hit the special aces and while waiting to get paid jumped on the machine to the right and did it again only after a couple of hands.  and then did like you got the hell out of there

  In 1999 I was playing at Harrahs in Las Vegas and it was late, I was heading up to bed in a few minutes when I got aces with no kicker on a $1.00 single line machine. The hopper (remember THOSE gang) emptied and a slot attendant came over to fill it. I stuck a hundred into the machine right next to the one getting filled and on my second hand I was dealt aces, drew the kicker for a nice 2k payoff, the slot attendant filling my original machine was as shocked as I was.

I got lucky yesterday playing quarters on a progressive which paid more if you hit Aces with a kicker.  I got lucky and hit it just as I was getting ready to leave and won $703!  Happy to leave up!

Good for you wilcoxfun! I admire you all that can walk out ahead. Winning is not my problem...

Congrats to the winners always.  My biggest win came from a nickle triple pay.  I cashed out a RF for $200, but got a ticket for a drawing.  Well, you know how big those bins are, but I just got that funny feeling it was going to happen.  Sure enough, out of that huge bin my name is drawn with 9 others.  We had to go on a platform and spin a wheel to see what our prize was. (anywhere from $1000-$20,000)  Yup, I got $10,000, quite a nickle payout.  The prize paid for much of my basic furniture, and got me back on my feet from my move.

Wow, where and when was this.  I have never seen a wheel like that.
