Waiting to get paid.....

How long was the session before the RF? I'm just trying to play an hour on one machine, before the losses mount and I go home depressed.

Between 3 and 4 hours. About 140,000 hands since the prior one on 9/30. However, about 20,000 hands were on DDS. Still should have had 3 Royals in the same time period instead of two. Continues my pattern of being underroyaled lifetime by between 30 and 40 percent. That accounts for at least another one percent per year of total coin being lost over and above the norm. This year was not an average year due to Covid, but in an average year of say 1.5 m coin in, that is another 15,000 bucks or so lost that shouldn’t have been.

3.5 hours of patience paid off to the tune of $1,600! Down to your last $24, which was once the asking price for Manhattan IIRC. I’ll have to withdraw on Friday for Saturday play. The bank ATM only dispenses fifty as the largest bill, and too many bulge my wallet.

Waiting to get paid part 2. Luckily this offset most of my last 4 sessions.

My first ever sequential. Nothing extra for it though.

About 3 1/2 hours again. Was down 300 I was playing almost too fast since I had a comfortable bar seat and since the bar is closed due to covid, I had it to myself without the usual crowd that can be disruptive. I estimate 2,800 hands had been played. 1,500 hands on Joker kings which was cold. Switched to Deuces same machine. Thanks for the congrats. Working on getting where I was after the 2 recent Jackpots. Probably still 700 down from the 4,600 they paid. Enough for tonite.

I simply cannot maintain that astounding patience. I’m more a premium quad and run player. I saw my BR double in one fell swoop on Saturday and decided not to disturb the VP deities. Third quad was the charm. But for you, it’s the fourth hour. Borgata bar is closed, but I am certain that VP junkies swamp it all the same. That zoo is anything but a sanctuary.

FAA, you were joking of course when you wrote that you are "more of a premium quad and run player," right? Up until recently (this past weekend) you strictly played JOB, right? In fact you gave doris props for mildly steering you toward some of the better paying games.
