Re: A Trip to Bizarro World!
Just got back from another Marathon session. 12 hours at least. Ended up OK. Job slammed the door shut on my Clone attempt. Two streaks of over 25 dud hands and no quads. Wounded, but still with ammo, I hit in the same machine quad deuces for 600 bucks on quarters a few minutes after dumping JOB. Much later, on dollars I hit a nice hand pay. Quad deuces again. I was going to pack it in, but I played Joker Kings with the scraps and hit a nice straight flush for 300. I forgot to add because of the triple status points I was able to get an achievement award both in yesterday’s gaming day and today’s for a total of 200 bucks in free play. I use that I need the straight flush on joker kings with it.

Congratulations. It was a true Quadfather trip. You really took 98.9% DW for a windfall after dumping old unreliable 99.54% JOB! $200 FP icing over two days was well worth your exhausting time investment. I did well to avoid JOB altogether on Saturday. Unfortunately, my quad deuces paid only $200 to your $2,200! Those are the most significant deuces for you. On my budget, any play over an hour is likely disastrous. I've had to be strategic in my sit downs. Early afternoon, they seem to vacuum player funds.

I think I'm becoming desensitized to degeneracy. In earlier times, trip reports tended to showcase more of the good than the bad. But now that live reports are popular, we see more warts and pustules.olds442jetaway wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 1:52 pmJust got back from another Marathon session. 12 hours at least.
Here's how a live report recently progressed on another forum:
- Our bankroll is $2,500
- We're down $5,000; let's try for 10
- Partner vetoed the withdrawal, so we're driving home
- <radio silence>
- Here are some jackpots we hit after we didn't drive home

Yes, their logic is infallibly risible. Was that one of the familiar YouTube suspects? We simply cannot allow ourselves to become desensitized to degeneracy. Especially given your proximity to Gomorrah. The house always wins. Maybe we can extract a hand pay and ignore them for the balance of the year. If I have a break even hour, it's a minor miracle. I try to cobble two of those per trip unless I lose my nerve.

No, it was on VMB. Ordinary player, not a "YouTube personality."
Hey olds, are you planning to activate for the June 4th jackpot drawing? Each w2g earns an entry, and you've had a few of them. But I fear you'll be up against whales with hundreds of entries.

Thanks. They also had interesting information about the CET 5X promotion. CET calculation stiffs players. What a surprise!

Gov: You owe us money. It's called taxes.
Me: How much do I owe?
Gov: You have to figure that out.
Me: I just pay what I want?
Gov: No, we know exactly how much you owe.
Me: What if I get it wrong?
Gov: You go to prison.

Okay, I'll look for the bump in May. IDK why the OP felt stiffed. Here's the fine print; all looks fine to me:
"Participants will have their earned Tier Credits multiplied by 4 (4X). The original Tier Credit amount that the Participant earned (1X) will be added to the 4X multiplied Tier Credit amount, resulting in the full 5X Tier Credit Multiplier"
"Participants will have their earned Tier Credits multiplied by 4 (4X). The original Tier Credit amount that the Participant earned (1X) will be added to the 4X multiplied Tier Credit amount, resulting in the full 5X Tier Credit Multiplier"
