Extremely Lucky. I should quit for the year now!

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

After the end of the draw. 53 straight hands with at most a push.
That's extraordinary for sure. Something like 1 in 2,000,000 to occur on your next 53 hands.
Discipline issues and sometimes playing inferior paytables didn’t help.
If the machines are as haywire as you indicate, they're immensely vulnerable to anyone with a plan. On some machines you can jump your bet from 25 cents to 25 or 30 dollars.

In my play on IGT machines throughout Nevada and a few other states, I'm comfortable flat-betting for my 1 or 2% calculated edge, but I suspect most Nevada players would say they believe the machines are rigged. Draw your own conclusions.
I have a feeling Biden is going to try and reverse much of that entire tax package.
I suspect Biden may rely more on "printing the money" rather than raising taxes. They call it MMT - Modern Monetary Theory. But the states can't print, so state taxes probably have to go higher.

As long as we can all stay safe and well, I guess we can weather the rest

Thank you. I started very young with the animals. Of course as youngsters, we played in the woods and came home at dinnertime. I would run across all kinds of animals and somehow, they never ran from me. Except for our German Shepherd, ever since age 5, we had shelter pets. Here is my first dog at age 5 Jingles.

I ran up there for just an hour tonight. Found a quiet corner with some 98/99 games. Played Joker Kings. My favorite because of the quad frequency. Anyway, in that hour playing the same clone schedule, I hit one straight flush, a few full houses, and 4 quads. Started with 30 in free play, turned it into 100 and split. Stayed away from the restaurants, other people, and wore a double paper mask. Other patrons left some under 1.00 tickes lying around especially on top of the ATM cash in machines. I picked them up and on the way out, dropped them in the Starbucks girls tip box. I have known most of them from other venues there for over 20 years. One is a day one employee. Nice quiet 55 minute ride home. Freezing cold and windy outside, but better than ice and snow. So far, no reaction from my first vaccine dose the other day. Just a slightly sore arm. Stay safe and well all.

Not that anybody should try this, but if somebody decides to not do the math in their head depending on what comes in, here is the schedule I use. It is a quarter game starting at bet five and ending up at bet 25. Anytime someone is a reasonable amount ahead for a session

, I would just quit. It’s up to you to decide what reasonable is. I play this game mostly on joker kings 940/17/7

I've only used this one on NSUD, so don't try it if you play in the Northeast:
