Mine are Emerald Green and full of bubbles inside. Of course for Ireland ( the Mrs ). She beat up that same game last trip. I don’t think she ever forwarded me the pics.

Bizarro beat up on both of us on our overnight Tuesday trip. I busted a 700 buck bankroll and the Mrs about 300. After lunch the next day, we decided to play together on the “ so far the machine never beat me “ dollar Triple play machine. Since we each only put in 20 bucks, we opted gor JOB, but it was only 8/6. Throwing caution to the wind, and since we only wanted to play a buck at a time, we dared to short coin the machine. Otherwise, the vet would have been 30 bucks a deal.
We didn’t hit a Royal, but the machine gave us 50 bucks an hour for the next 4 hours. At that point we just had to head home. What we did was play one line at a buck a line. As soon as we lost 20 bucks, we would bet two lines at a buck a line, and if it won some thing and got us back to where we were down less than 20 bucks, we would go back to the bottom line only play we got for quads in four hours, which is a little less than average but because with the mild Martingale Clone, we were using and going up on our bets. We ended up winning a bit anyway. Not for the trip but the 200 bucks we made put a bit of a dent in the grande that we left there. The night before I made the mistake of not getting the Clone and only playing single line and bet 5 on dollars and it just cleaned my clock by not giving me any quads whatsoever on 96 jacks or better. The Mrs. was playing her usual nickel ultimate X triple play on double double bonus and didn’t hit anything good either. She got even a couple of times, but then it would go back into a spiraled down cycle and chill. She quit at -300 bucks.
The end of the story is the machine that never beat me continues to never beat me, but I am not so gullible as to know that at some point probably sooner than later, it will get me good

That's a very good plan. Start small and conservative. Where's the fire? See if the machine wipes you out. If it does, you're only -$20 and doubling your bet won't put you in any grave danger either. Take the four quads in four hours and go home happy to have played and passed the time. I certainly know the pain of starting out aggressively at bet $5 and the subsequent wipe out. That cannot continue!

My Vp buddies have either passed now, are too decrepit to go up, or they just quit to save money….,,,Ok. Beam me up Scotty. That’s for you guys and gals to get here.

Thanks for the invitation. It would be nice, but I have no plans going back to that area anytime soon. My back east trips are to see the kids, grandkids and other family in Virginia.olds442jetaway wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2023 4:44 pmThanks. We had fun though and the food was great.

: Ok OTA. Stay safe and well. AP good luck. I don’t think I will make it back up there for a bit. I have Cataract surgery on Tues and since I won’t be allowed to lift anything for at least a week or 2 after, I will have to do all that home stuff between now and then. Then 2 weeks after the first eye, I go in for the other one with lots of eye appts in between and after. My 10k windfall from 8/8 is gone now and nothing big since. I got back late today because the cordless drill giveaway was late this afternoon. Nothing special last night or this morning up there. I caught Deuces twice, but gave them back and ended up 25 bucks as well. Heeeeee. It felt like I had that 10k in my pocket again.
