Sedate Sunday. I won $25 on Caesars table FP on a four craps hit. I then won $21 on $25 JOB FP. $1,069 Progressive. I walked to Resorts NFL sports book. HH wings lunch. Back at Caesars, the man two seats away was still there five full hours later. Progressive at $1,003. I just had to ask if he was the lucky winner, since he was such a stalwart. He said that it had occurred on the other side and he never saw it. It must be hell to invest all that time and have luck overlook you. I would have left upon reset, fried from both VP burnout and the reset. He was somehow happy go lucky. Maybe he was earning decent future offers, if few TCs themselves. Net Day: +$13. Low roll and stroll.

Sedate Saturday. I won $25 on my Caesars table FP by rolling myself a seven. I then hit two quads nine minutes apart, but after forty five minutes. At Harrah’s I hit quads thirteen minutes apart after the same period. Pork slider trio lunch. Net Day: +$23. Thank hot dice.

I would attribute your positive day more to the fortunate appearance of those four 4OAK in the roughly 2 hours of play than a single roll of the dice.

What amazes me most though, is how you manage to garner free table play for years when all you play is your free play! It's like a perpetual motion device. The casino must have you in for ADT = infinity for you to get comped 100% of your losses, when the losses (and/or wins) are free play, which I thought were not included. What am I missing?

FAA, With quad aces and 3s you should have been playing DDB. :)

Good going FAA. I had to completely give up on 9/6 JOB. After months of torture and quads averaging one every 800 hands. Bailouts by 97 and 98 percent machines on various games. Go figure. Current favorite is Joker Kings. Almost nobody plays it or my other favorite DDS bonus deuces wild. Granted the quads only pay 17 for one on Joker Kings, but, you get roughly 4 of them for every one on JOB. The quads keep me playing on that game hoping for one on the 4 other bigger hands.

I must give up on indulging Caesars JOB at all levels! On quarter, it’s a $25 hourly loss besides the time, assuming a quad. The second quad only netted me four bucks. Patrons at my bank are distracting lunatics. Dollar is pure drain. Harrah’s 1PM onward seems the golden time. Plus it’s fresher and more active.

And, once again, you chose to play only one credit, and then whine about the outcome.

What you are missing is an answer from FAA to your question.

i can't understand why you wouldn't at least play bonus poker.between the quad aces and quad 3's you could have had $600 instead of $250.
