For the past few years Sweet C and I have headed to our favorite casino for a New Year's Eve trip. Really volatile play (good hit and then nothing -losing it all back) on NYE and in the room by 8:00 pm to watch game and New Year's Eve countdown. I woke up around 6:00 am and headed down to play at 6:30 with Sweet C telling me it was OK if I got a "G" statement since it was a new year. Playing my favorite machine I hit these two New Year's Day jewels.

Had barely warmed up the seat of the chair (6:48 am).

My timing was really good so around 8:00 am I decided to switch to $play which is a rare occurrence since retirement. Hit this beauty and just sat in stunned silence. (8:23 am)

New Year's Eve trips have been really interesting and I'm looking forward to New Year's Eve 2017!

2008
1/3   LL RF on DW
1/4   Sweet C RF on DDB

2011
1/1 Sweet C on DDB Progressive
1/1 LL Dealt RF - 5 hands on DW

The irony of odds is that I hit Deuces only once the entire trip on this machine (on day 3 after about 10 hours play).

Wishing RF for everyone this year.

LL and Sweet C

Too beautiful! Congrats! We lost at MGM but admit we did not play very long. Enjoyed their scrumptious buffet at Palette on husband's comps. HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone! 

  Way to go Double L !!! I hope you didn't get umcomfortable driving back with that fat wallet in you back pocket, lol...
 
  You and Sweet C deserve hits like this, you are really nice people.

Yep, looks like every third year appears to be the charm.  Hope you and your Sweet C can start a new tradition in 2015 of EVERY YEAR   

 
What a great way to start a new gambling year.  Congrats to you both.

Congratulations, That the way to start the new year! ! !

Great going Larry and Happy and Healty New Year. Some of my best hits have been early AM too. Seems like 4:30-7:30 is the range. Keep them and some Deuces quads coming. Make those last a few trips until you can reload with some fresh hits hopefully on your next journey!!

Nice hits Larry! For my 2nd session in a row, I had a neighbor hit a royal on single line. This one gave me $20 after hitting it though, so I guess I have 2% of a royal this year...lol

And this has been killing me for awhile...

Where was that casino where you found the 5600 royal on super times pay with the decent deuces paytable? I'd like to know, so I can be ready to dump a lot of money in that place...lol

I was in Tunica on Dec. 27-29 at Harrah's. They have changed their machines so often and lowered the paytables so hitting a royal just about gets you even for a 2 day session. (.25 is what I like to play). Well, this past trip I was playing SHOCKWAVE, which I really like and rarely see in other casinos besides Tunica. I was down about $200 when I hit a simple 4 7's which puts you into Shockwave. You have 10 hands to get another 4 OAK, and SHAZAM, on the 2nd deal I hit 4 2's..$1000. Not a royal, but it was fun to get..I really like the oddball games.

  Congrats on your luck with Shockwave cookie, we know you like the oddballs because you hang with all of us here.
