A couple of good ones!

One day when I was switching from triple triple bonus (TTB), I his this hand taking 1000 credits instead of 4000 credits. It's totally waste of luck.

Another session, I was dealt quad deuces both on the deal and on the draw 2 minutes apart when I was playing joker wild. Taking 80 credits per hand only. But I hit this hand 1 hour later...

These piggyback stories are always so fascinating. I leave after a big hit like the machine, if not the casino itself, is on fire. It’s all about individual risk tolerance.

Video Poker is amazing and so unpredictable any way you look at it.

Love those type hits. My last trip I caught 2x4 deuces twice on a 5 hand play and then the next night caught 4 deuces and the next hand hit 4 deuces again. Gotta love those type hits as they are rare.

Keep up the hits! Hope some of those continue this trip.

Thanks LL. Got trounced smartly last night. A little too quick on the draw upping my bets. Only caught one 5 of a kind on DDS Bonus deuces wild on quarters. Nothing larger. We all know that is the way vp goes. By the way, I seem to remember your daughter, some time ago did very well on spin poker. There is a quarter machine at Mohegan Sun with a bad paytable that people are killing playing Bonus Deuces Wild. Seems the same 3 people rotate playing it. I have seen jackpots from 3,000 to 8,000 every session for the last 2 weeks. The machine is rarely open.

I’m assuming that you went -$500. By the time I bid condolences, you’ll probably recoup it.

Wish. No BR lately has been upped to 1,000. That’s what happens with dollars when nothing hits. Will try again Sun eve. JOB has been particulary mean to me lately, returning only one or at most two quads in 4,000 hands. Yes 4,000 not 400. Sad when you have to rely on a 96 or 97 percent game with high variance to bail youvout, but for me except in early June, that is how it has been.
At posted in another thread, the casinos are intent on getting their covid losses back on our dime. My choices of 9/6 machines now number to what I can count on one hand. Besides the dreaded covid, my covetedd banks of 9/6 machines, seem to be Blowin in the wind, out of my reach, and probably to surface no more from a musty casino basement. Would love to see them breach like the mighty Humpbacks. Alas, not in the “ cards “ I am sure.

My coveted 9/6 bank is now two active machines, both likely in use upon my arrival. I can always hit another casino. But dollar play is an acquired taste. I managed to luck out last week with a premium quad in about 450 hands.
