A couple of good ones!

FAA, I would not try to starve the machine at any time. There is no way you can predict whether you will hit early, late, in the middle or throughout, your session. Sometimes nothing makes any sense other than to prove randomness. Given the relatively few hands I have played over the past few months, I have been dealt 4 Jacks on the first hand after inserting a twenty. This week I hit 4 fours, 4 times, none with a kicker. Three of the four times were consecutive over 2 days. They were the only quads I hit during that time until down to my last $1.25 in the machine, I hit 4 queens. Today, I was dealt 4 deuces with the kicker. The next hand, had a pair of 8s and was dealt the other 2 on the re-deal. The only thing consistent is that I play the max 5 coins every hand.

I do not condone an initial starve. But I must starve the cold cycle before it robs me blind. When in a nice warm to hot rhythm, and we can generally tell, max out. Your gut should be rewarded. You won’t miss any premium hand pay outs. I’ll miss about a third of mine. But I’m not willing to risk another bust session.

So Thursday I went to the casino for about 1 1/2 hours. Must of played about 500 -600 hands. Guess what I hit 4 fours. 5th time this week. Again no kicker. Also 4 eights again. The quirkiness of VP.

I’ve been beating the quad schedule on mine as well. Feeling bullish.

I am totally shocked that you are not mentioning machines being "rigged" or "askew" or "fixed" or "gaffed" or "adjusted", now?

Congratulations on your recent successes just the same.

Harrah’s not quite as generous today. I had ATM delusions. Tropicana merely dented my BR instead of the bust I was headed toward. All’s well that ends somewhat well.

NICE OLDS never gets old seeing nice hits!

I see you play at the slow speed of the machine. I have been playing on the fast speed but last few days trying the middle speed.

As Wildman knows i play the mid-speed. But i hit the new deal button very fast after draw. This gives a few milliseconds longer to check the deal. Play 650-700 hph doing this.

Went back to the casino tonight. Played about 650 hands of DDB. Hit 4 fours for the 6th time in the last 2 weeks and once again, no kicker. I figure I played about 5000 hands the last 2 weeks. No complaints as all were DDB progressive hands.

2-4 with kicker happens every 6K hands. 4 Aces with kicker happens every 15K hands. You are still not playing enough to see them.

Aha. Thanks for the reality check. I lacked the context given my unfamiliarity with the game.
