We got here very early this morning. I had an icy cold machine and the clone had taken me way to high on my bets. I was out 300 bucks in 3 hours. I had caught deuces twice, but at small amounts. Then with a much too large bet, I got this. I immediately cashed out 100 bucks ahead. Off to the brunch now with the Mrs.

I definitely need more patience and should not raise my bet after just 4 or 5 losing hands. Still experimenting.

Did not anticipate the max bet (5 coins per), but I love it!

Are you accepting suggestions for your 2023 theme? It should be something that sets expectations for your overdue and nearly inevitable success. How about this: A Trip to Dinero World!

Dinero World would be nice. We cut the 7 hour session short due to snow and ice arriving. I had two more decent hits, but unfortunately the Royal came in at a minimal bet level. I estimate 114,000 hands played. The game was short at least one Royal for that many hands. In all 3 quad Deuces hit. Only pic on one. The others were small ones. The Deuces were about on schedule. The absence of at least one more Royal and nothing else good being dealt left me down 200 for the session. No way to tell if another hour or two of play would have turned things around. I was
waiting until about ten times my bet level was lost before increasing my bet level by one and I backed it down accordingly as things hit. As Dinghy posted, a 96 percent game is difficult. Getting paid 2 for the flush and only 3 for the full house really hurts in the long run. I would much prefer to play this game with Airport Deuces, but it s not available at Mohegan as far as I know except on a single line game. I estimate I had about 7500 coin in for this session so my loss is just a bit better than what you would expect for this paytable.

I wrote the above late at night snd made at least one mistake in the math I did in my head. In the above session, I only hit 3 quad deuces when in fact I should have hit more than 20 in 114,000 hands of play. That being said, and adding to that, being shorted at least one Royal in the session makes me think I would have lost a lot more money had I been flat betting and not playing the Clone. I lost about 3 percent of coin in which is kind of amazing it was not 20 percent considering the above scenario.

You need another RF from Santa.

Are you sure of your timings? In my territory, Triple Spin is drastically slower than single line. You can help it along by quick-stopping the deal and draw, but it'll still come up short of a single line game.

Yes, I usually stop it short My usual play on single line would vary from 700-800 hands per hour. More on DDS. I usually have to slow myself down

Nice! You play hard.

I'm looking at the numbers. Below, your game is in the center section. The single line pay table is on the right. And dealt frequencies are on the left.



I think you need to run hotter on your straight flushes because they're good for almost 7.5% on average, and more if you're lucky. A dealt SF which is supposed to happen every 2 hours pays $175 on a 13.50 bet. In this game, straight flushes are the nearest equivalent to Joker Wild quads.

Agree. That is why I will go for a straight flush on a single deuce with a suited 45 where I won’t on airport deuces. And sometimes on a single gap like 46. I actually just arrived at Mohegan. Nice and quiet. Plan overnight play unless I hit early. Then I will head home. Possible snow again later in the week. Thanks for the comparison chart.
