A Trip to Bizarro World!

You made me check whether Harrah’s used held markers on mine. I guess it varies by machine.

It’s just impossible to figure out video poker that’s for sure
Possibly because it's random, with no cycles, no patterns, etc.?

Yes, even though I think otherwise sometimes. My good Scientist friend now departed used to always say there is order in chaos.

This was a bartop machine. ( the Royal). Speaking of chaos and randomness, all of the Good Hands pictured immediately above Came out of the blue after somewhere between 12 and 27 dud hands consecutive. In particular, the longest one was the ace high straight flush that came out of nowhere after more than 25 dud hands. There probably was a push or two in there in that sequence. All I remember is just on that dud sequence I was out 100 bucks or so and then the ace high straight flush came in And save the day or at least saved the ending of the day.

Spectacular hits, congrats!!

I asked previously about the "held" indicators on a redraw royal, but I've seen it myself, so I can confirm it's possible.

I was very lucky in Bizarro world last night and this morning. Foolishly gave most of the Deuces hit back last night and finally got to sleep about 8 this morning. Am leaving now. I had a funny feeling about this morning, but gunshy from last night. Budgeted 200 a few minutes ago. Hit this within five minutes. I’m outta here. Lucky to finish a bit better than even. Extremely lucky! Off to the Animal shelter on the way home.

You don't get much value from your room most trips. I would have called it a night after the $1,400 DW jackpot that you subsequently frittered away. Very lucky to emerge after lightning struck twice. It was dealt to you on a platter! I'd rather be lucky than broke myself.
