Congrats Ted on both fronts!

He erased his initial massive loss like the Yankees erased Jacoby Ellsbury from their radar. Bankroll brushes a lot of potentially devastating problems aside!

Hence why I talk of being adequately bankrolled and not playing with scared money.

After watching Shane tonight and knowing that the local Illinois casinos were closed because of the Chinese Virus, I decided to stop over to Horseshoe Hammond as it has been quite a while since I was there and I didn't feel like driving to Four Winds.

They had MANY video poker machines shut down for social distancing and they have very few multi-hand machines to begin with. I sat down at a Super Triple Play machine and was playing 5 hands at .25 denomination, I promptly lost $300.00 and decided to seek my fun elsewhere in the casino. I found a Hot Roll machine and played 10 hand TDB .05 denomination. I hit a royal for $200.00 but after an 1 1/2 hours I found myself down $400.00, what II won with the royal plus $200.00.

I then took a walk around and was actually ready to leave when I stumbled on a 3/5/10 play machine and settled in for some 10 play TDB at .50 denom. I was down about $400.00 when dealt trip aces. Nailed it. While waiting to get paid I hit 4 4's without a kicker and I left right after getting paid for the AWAK. Net for the session: up $1,300.00.

A very good day Ted! Hope you have some immunity now. Science is all over the place on that.

WTG Ted

Thanks.

What irks me is that they kept my .75. The cashout ticket was for $X,X15.75 and I only got paid the $X,X15.

I got tired of watching consecutive episodes of Yellowstone so I decided to take a drive over to Ameristar in East Chicago, IN. Illinois casinos are COVID-19 closed at the moment. I took more than I normally would seeing as things have been running pretty good for me. I found a 3/5/10 play machine and started off by hitting 4's with a kicker while playing TDB for a quick $500.00. I upped my denomination to .50 and was hitting but not anything that would blow my hair back. I hit aces a couple times without a kicker and I decided to go all out and up my denomination to $1.00. I was dealt 4 to the royal and whiffed, I was dealt trip 2's the very next hand and whiffed, I was dealt trip aces and whiffed. Just when I thought the session was going nowhere I was dealt 2 aces and nailed it for a very nice 4k payoff. I dropped my denom down to .25 as I was going to bail after getting paid, left up not long after getting paid.

Nice hit Ted!!! Congrats...

Stuff machine until good stuff happens. Great concept if you can afford it.
