When I was living in Clermont FL. I would go to the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa. One Saturday I went and the first machine I sat down at I hit 4 Aces, (playing $0.25) I collected my ticket and moved to the next machine and within minutes I hit 4 Aces with a kicker. Well it was a profitable day as I ended up hitting 8 four of a kinds in 2 hours and 15 minutes I went home with more tha $2,500 of the casinos money. Two weeks later I went back to the Hard Rock Casino and playing $0.50 I hit a Royal Flush. Well needless to say, I collected my money and headed back home. I haven't been quite that lucky since. But I still enjoy the game.

Those are the winning streaks that keep you playing through the bad times.

[quote=Didoerr] I haven't been quite that lucky since.[/quote]Welcome to the forum.   I play in Tampa one day a week and at the Hollywood Hard Rock three days a month.   Both are nice casinos.  I assume you were playing 8/5 DDB as that is the norm at the Hard Rock in quarters.  This is a 96.786% game with perfect play.   There are better VP games in Tampa with much better odds.  Congratulations on your great day.  Those are the days that keep us coming back.

What are the better games in Tampa? Where are they located in the casino?

Go to the website  http://www.vpfree2.com/   and you can see the VP odds for any casino in the US.   This website is edited by players.  The best quarter game in Tampa is BP.   I play deuces wild.  Tampa has 98.9% deuces wild in 50 cents and above on every VP machine they have.   If you can make it down to the Hollywood Hard Rock, they have 6 machines with 98.9% deuces wild in quarters.  They also have triple $1 9/6 Jacks or Better which is a near 100% game with comps.
