Was trying to hit a 4 of a kind but hit a royal!

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

Was trying to hit a 4 of a kind but hit a royal!

Post by wildman49 »



Another Wildman Friday  Playing dollars all day and going down right from the get go playing JOB,BP and DW. Nothing much hitting. I then play my go to game when this happens BDLX.Love BDLX since a four of a kind pays $400. Just trying to work my way out of the hole and hit 2 for $400 each. After lunch playing a bar top up pops 4 to the royal. I beat the odds of 1 in 47 when the King of clubs came in!Royal number 5 this year. Might make a run at my personal record of 17 single hand royals last year. Good luck chasing the royal!current temp 36GO MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS!

All royals pretty, but the clubs I like most of all. Nice hit!

Congratulations. Were you down $800? Most people would stagger away in a numb fog. For you, it's merely time to double down on risk. This did make you a huge winner. I had to ATM after yesterday's loss too. Thrilled to BE. Same four club quarter deal yesterday in AC. Guy converted with a ten.

Thanks gang, It just shows one should learn more games. You never know where the royal is going to come from. I know 4 games very well and practice them weekly. Playing one game gets stale to me, love moving around and looking for small  hits to keep playing, works most the time. This time in a big way!Playing a cash cube promo next week, so now I got some fire power and hope for the best.Good luck chasing the royal!

That is a beauty.

I like BDLX too, but for the life of me I just can't catch a quad on $1 while playing it. I've hit them on nickels, quarters, halves, $2 and even one on $5 - but that $1 quad remains elusive.

Poker BDLX is my favorite poker game. When we had 9/6 for quarters I played it a ton. No more 9/6. Many times I would take $500 as BR and play till I lost $400 on quarters, I would use the last $100 on $1 BDLX and many many times go home even as that 4 of a kind came in. Hit these 3 Friday that kept me afloat till the royal hit.Good luck chasing the royal!current temp 33 GO     MSU!...........................

BPdeluxe can be a great game to play on those rainy cold days in AC when you have no plans or desires to venture outside.....the trick is finding a paytable than is not horribly bad, just merely bad!   In the server based CET casinos (Balkys, Harrahs, Caesars)  on all the All Star2 game terminals, the various versions of BPdeluxe typically offer a horrible 7/5 paytable....now on gimmick games involving BPdeluxe, like Xtra Draw Frenzy or STP/ULTX  etc.  you may try to make that work simply because the gimmicky side of the game is the overriding factor in your choice, but you'd never want to select BpDeluxe 7/5 in the plain old 3/5/10 line versions of the game.It's always nice to find the single line versions of BPdeluxe with tolerable-or-better paytables, like the ones in your images above.Nice going Wildman....just be careful in the future when it comes to "pushing it"
