Thanks OTA. I would be curious in anyone has seen that many good hits on JOB in a short time. The only other similar incident I ever had was also at Mohegan about 15-20 years ago. I hit 4 Aces 5 times in an hour on Bonus Poker. 99.13. They have pulled that pay table also about 15 years ago.

Thanks! I guess we are going to try and go. Roads are ok still above freezing for now. Not later. Had enough of shoveling this for today. I know it’s nothing compared to out west, but it’s not nothing to me😬

Hell, no, Olds. I had that nine quad day a couple months ago, but that was a good eight hours if I recall. And almost exclusively BP.

Nice. The oddest quad run I can recall was playing 9/5 TB+ back in the day (RIP) and hitting quad 2-4s three times in roughly 15 hands of single line.

The last couple of trips have been losers even though I stuck to99 percent quarter and dollar games. Bound to happen unfortunately. Time to regroup before all of the recent winnings have vanished. I seem to have the best luck with Triple Spin Poker. I think the next trip I will stick to that. The highest return I can find up there is 98.44 Joker Kings on Triple Spin Poker. At least it pays 940 for the Royal betting just one. 99.54 JOB and 98.8 Dollar Bonus Deuces Wild just haven’t produced the last few trips. I do have a lot more flexibility with Triple Spin Poker and that is what I need the way I play.

The crazy thing that is so typical of vp is I decided to play a little Triple Spin Poker just to see if I could get enough money for a free coffee and When I got home. Regular 16/13 Deuces Wild. Bad paytable of course. Slipped in 2 twenties and in ten minutes got this. In playing 10 hours last night on 99 percent machines, I couldn’t hit anything. Takes care of my coffee break. 😂

Nice photo. Question on your rooms. What check in time does MS assign you? I accepted Resorts comp room, only to get saddled with a 5 PM check in. They somehow pushed their poor 4 PM time back an hour!

They say 4 pm, but they start checking on people at 6am. If a room is ready that early it’s yours. Otherwise, you pre register, they call you when the room is ready. Usually by 11am. They are very generous that way. Let’s say I wanted to go on a Tuesday night but I could not get a room. Also let’s say I did have a reservation for Wednesday. I could go up late Tuesday, play overnight, check in at 6 am on Wednesday and I could then keep the room until 1:am on Thursday. I rarely have a room complaint. They also get 6 different hbo channels. I don’t even get it at home. Free use of pool and well equipped gym too. I can also check in on my phone. Then when I get there, just pick up my room key cards. They will also bring you bottled water to your room on request. There are 2 in the room already. Extra coffee, towels, blankets etc if you need them. Concierge desk is very helpful too. They also have an easy to use on line service for future room reservations, free stuff, and shows offered. The phone VIP people are great too. They just have the best employees period! If you ever decide to go, I can tell you on the site here where all of the 9/6 JOB machines are. Both dollars and quarters. They haven’t changed that lately luckily.

The reasonable 4 PM should be company wide. 5 PM is really upsetting. I cannot arrive at 3 PM or earlier and suffer their onerous early check in fee either. 6 AM is practically a two for one deal! 11 AM fantastic also. Too early for me, but I’d love 1 PM. I also get two bottles already there. Never thought to call up for two more. I’ll steal that move. I always get extra towels and toiletries. I’ve been no playing them. So last month they bumped me to the old tower. I was upset. They insisted on a $29 upgrade fee to the new tower, so I canceled. Cut nose to spite face experience. I already consume a lot of film and TV shows, so it’s usually news. New indoor pool is nice. My phone reservation lady was a real pill. MS definitely has better staff. I just got my March postcard. I’ll be downgraded to discounted $39 room.
