A Trip to Bizarro World!

Nice!

That's why I don't like to play Spin Poker for dimes. Too much chance of $1200 hits.

I played for 2 hours before I left for home today. Was lucky enough to catch this beauty. I normally do not play halves unless the clone takes me there. That happens when my quarter bets have progressed up to the max 25 betting units. I had probably lost about 150 bucks on this machine at that point. When I switched over to halves, I started with 5 and after a certain number of consecutive lost bets, I progress to bet 6.

Good to see you adding a zero to the 5 on your bets. Ride the fortune wave to fortune.

Up there tonight for an overnight solo. Put another nice dent in my huge 2022 vp deficit. Such a strange game we play. Unfortunately, my deficits are compounded by the market, but I guess many of us are in that boat right now. Hard to tell from the pic, but the game is Bonus Deuces Wild Double Down Stud so the quad deuces even with a quarter bet after doubling pays 200 bucks. Of course they have to be dealt. I think the frequency is about the same as hitting a non dealt Royal in draw poker.

And same payoff as a royal. $3600 on a $4.50 bet (not including the double down).

You've been on point lately with the game variety. Using every crayon in the box. :up:

Congratulations. You imply that the trip's $3,600 jackpot alleviated the annual loss. It looks like about 3% right there. Is that about right?
