Got very lucky after nearly getting wiped out of my tiny 100 buck stake. Plus 300. Bailed out the Mrs who had an off night on her nickel play.
This machine has a bad pay table, but it also pays 800 for bet one for the Royal.

Thanks. One just never knows. Pay table was 97.36. 😬. As they continue to erode………by the casinos…..At least 800 for bet one on the Royal. Good for low budget days and or low budget Martingale Clone play.

Excellent results for such a negligible trip. I assume that you kept playing after the $600 windfall. Logic dictates leaving +$500 at worst. Or did some of windfall go towards spousal bailout?

A little of both. Paid off the Mrs. 300. A ton for her. Like you said, played with about another 100 and caught the smaller deuces. Machine died. Gave back 100 but still ended up 300. Another bizarro journey tonight. Just me. I have the final clone version done. I had been playing way to aggressive. It is very simple. Maintain your initial bet until you have lost 20 times the bet amount. Of course cash out profit your discretion. Once you have lost 20 times your bet amount, up the bet one unit. Play until you hit or lose 20 times that amount. Any time you win enough to be greater than what you have lost on the first bet amount, return to that level. The progression continues until you are satisfied with your win amount or go broke ir just quit. Each to his/ her own.

I prefer playing this way on a 3 or 5 line machine or game only because a single line game takes almost always longer to hit one of the better hands. So far no busts playing this way. Just give backs due to discipline problems. Infortunately, in Ct at.least as far as I know, there are no 99 percent multiline games. The casino knows your chances of a big hit are higher in the same time frame on a multiline game. End result the same, but time is a bit more on the player’s side on a multiline game assuming bankroll bakance is not a problem. I have played numerous oractice sessions on wolf vp and some here and haven't busted a 1,000 bankroll yet. Only one live casino try, so the proof will be in the pudding at the casino. Marathon sessions quite likely as well. I will not try this on a high variance game like DDB. At least not now. Where are my glasses? Upstairs. Ugh

The same night I am speaking about above earlier in the evening, I was playing next to a player in the high limit room who was playing $100 every hand. He was playing triple double bonus 10 lines alternating between that and five lines. He hit a few small hand pays but went through between 50,000 and 100,000 bucks in about an hour. He had a slot attendant stationed there and had the machine shut down after saying he would be right back. Never came back. Bizarro world at play.
We didn’t speak at all. I notice he kept watching my play which was 3 line Joker Kings at a quarter a line 98.44 and 940/1 for the Royal. He cringed as did I when 4 Aces without a joker hit 5 minutes apart. My guess is he either played that machine earlier, or wanted to play it when I left until he saw the Aces. Most players would be too Superstitious and not play that machine if they saw Aces come out like that. I know it means nothing but even for me it is hard to overcome the superstition sometimes.

I could support that framework. Lose B * 20. Then and only then is more drastic action not only suggested, but preferable if you can afford it. It would have netted me a satisfactory profit on my last trip.

Incredible trip to Bizarro world. Played low denomination machines 96 percent and using Martingale Clone, hit everything under the Sun including 3 Royals at the same time and deuces with the Ace kicker another time. Tremendous flexibility in denomination and lines played allows the Clone to work as it should. Choice of 3 cent, 5, 10, or quarter play. I never got to quarters, but the bets got steep on dimes. Started with 3 cent 15 cent bet on each of 3 lines and ate the losses till it was time to increase and hope for hits. Net day ballpark about plus 600 bucks. Only had a 400 dollar bankroll and I was able to do this with a single 100 dollar bill. Caution in order next trip.
