Heeeee. Anyway, back from last night’s trip. Very lengthy dud cycles. No Royal so I had to cut off playing and did some damage control. Strange though. Like 99 percent of the trips, I am able to get all of our free play out and then some just betting a quarter at a time. When I get to 40 hands for my wife, I cash out or she does if she is playing. 80 hands for me as I get 20 bucks. This time it was 11.50 for her and 23 bucks for me. To me, if happens over and over again especially short coining, it would defy the totally random RNG rules.

The best safeguarding against blowing FP funds is saving them. Squirrel away every cent of FP wins anywhere but your wallet. Out of sight. Squirrel away quad wins. At a certain time, casino goes cold. (For me, when they transition to the tourist crowd in late afternoon.) Do not even attempt to play.

vpFREE2 lists several recent changes at Mohegan Sun. Any affect on you, Olds?

Yes and no. Not the machines I play as to pay tables, but some were replaced with the newer curved glass screens and newer internals. I will also check on vp2free and see what changes they list. I just took a quick peek and many of the 99 percent machines listed have been gone since Covid. Too many to list
If anyone has a specific question on locating a 99 percent machine, they can ask me on this thread and I will do my best to answer or find the answer. I am much more familiar with the quarter machine location than the dollar and up machines. As we speak, they are constantly moving and replacing machines. They seem to crave having the latest glitzy slot machines that pretend to be penny machines, but you have to bet 50 cents or more to play them. There are so few VP players left that I never have trouble on weekdays finding a 99 percent quarter machine to play.

Note that it's listed as a $1 5 play Multi-Strike machine.

I will have to investigate further. There are also me 98.6 Bonus Deuces Wild dollar games at the entrance to the Sky casino. I may take a shot at those. 99.54 JOB just never works for me. I am almost always under Royaled and many times almost quadless when I play JOB. I have lost more money lifetime on JOB than any other game. Somehow, my wife is still beating up the casino on nickel DDB ultimate x triple play even with 8/5 or a worse 7/5 pay table. She just has the luck of the Irish. ☘️

Had a great dinner, but other than that, Vp did not cooperate this trip. I played 98.6 Bonus Deuces Wild dollars and busted an 800 dollar budget. The Mrs struggled on 8/5 DDB Ultimate X nickels. She finally gave up after losing 200, but the Irish luck prevailed. She put a couple of 20s in a DDS Joker Kings machine and no time got her 200 back by hitting 2 quads nearly back to back. Since I had busted earlier, I borrowed a 20 from her to kill time and played while waiting for her on an inferior pay table 800 for bet one quarter bonus deuces wild game and almost immediately hit 4 deuces with an ace!!!!!! Just a quarter in!!!!! It paid 100 bucks which gave me going home money, but why couldn’t I have hit that at 5 bucks a pop!!!!! Like my earlier play for hours!!!
So kiss that 2,000 payout goodbye. Well, that’s the nature of VP and it will never change!!! By 10 the way, the chances of hitting that hand above are over 37,000 to one. I don’t think I played over 20 hands when it hit for a single quarter bet. I got another tiny consolation prize this morning by being able to drag $21.25 out of my $20 free play plane Jack’s you’re better.

That's sad. I always fear that would happen to me if I played less than5 credits on single line. Hopefully, using the clone you get that kind of hit with maximum coin in.
