Video Poker Forum

   Was up the casino at Charlestown WV last weekend and was playing my favorite video poker game, "Triple Ace Poker".  My usual strategy is to play one particular machine and if I drop 100 credits (Bet 5 at a time)  I move to another. I was playing my last 5 credits on the one machine and got dealt garbage so threw away the whole hand and got back A-A-10-4-A. So since I got the 3 aces I went into the "Bonus round" and got the 4X bonus. On my first free bonus hand I hit a royal flush. $1,000 X4 because of the bonus round for $4000 . Got another $35 in the remaining 7 bonus hands for a hand pay of $4,035.    About a half hour later hit another royal flush keeping only 1 ace! But not in a bonus round. Still $1,000.   All in all I won $5235 in 2 hours having put in only $40 to start! My biggest winning day in my long and painful video poker addiction.. I mean career!   I did get a cool "I won big at Hollywood Casino" t-shirt.

Congrats on your winnings.

Can you tell me where the Triple Ace Poker is located at Charlestown?

   Oy. It`s a huge place and there's only 3 rows of these machines in the whole casino. Two rows are just inside the doors that lead to the race track parking lot and below the restaurant that overlooks the race track.  If you walk in the doors from the outside the rows of machines are back-to-back just off to the right maybe 3 rows in from the raised bar near the escalators. The other row is down in the sunken area in the middle of the "OK Corral". Triple Ace Poker is on a multi-game machine along with several keno style games and a few other poker games.
 
  Basically the idea is if you get 3 (or 4) Aces in a hand it triggers a "Bonus round". In the bonus round you get 8 FREE hands. The machine deals 5 cards face down (Two will say 4X, two will say 3X and one says 2x) and you pick one and whatever card you picked (Let`s say 4X) for the next eight hands you will get 4X the normal payout.

Way to go!
