Finally getting to sleep. The play went well. Tested it first on dimes. Then took a risk with dollars. Both worked well. Pics attached.

It was a long haul and I really had to slow down the Martingale Clone. I think my biggest mistake over the years has been to increase my bets too fast.

Thanks! The shelter Kitties told me the same thing! 😂. Still there. Just finished lunch with the Mrs. Just found out they gave me another 100 in free play. I think I will hit the quarter vp on the way out. That will be for them! 😊

The Mrs. Plans to stay in close proximity to my play so I don’t go overboard!
Oh good, because otherwise you'd soon be betting $15 a spin.

Could you please recap the pay schedules you're playing? I know you mentioned the horrific 96.77% Deuces Wild, but I see more than one machine so I'm keeping hope alive.

5 and 10 cent Deuces 16/13, Dollar Bonus Deuces 98.8, 20/13, a little single line Deuces played 15/9/4/4. Just a tiny bit of Joker Kings played 98.44.
The Bonus Deuces dollar game was 90 percent of play. The Spin Poker on “ my machine “ has 800 for bet 1 or I wouldn’t play it. The nickel and dime Spin Poker is also 800 for bet 1 or I wouldn’t play that. Even though the trip was a success, bets are still too high. The safest way for me to play my machine requires extreme discipline that I am still working on. That would be no Martingale Clone bet increase from bet one until I have lost 80 times my bet level or 80 bucks. Next session I will be moving from waiting for a loss of 10 times my bet to 20. At this point preservation of Capital is the goal. The 2024 goal is to recover if possible the huge losses from 2023. The stock market so far is helping with that, but there’s no guarantee of that going forward and I am at this point very nervous about the market. PS….The reason I chose 80 as the loss number to go up is that is what 5 Aces pays. That appears in my play just about every session even if quad deuces or a Royal doesn’t. There is no system to guarantee a win or the casinos would close. The best I can do is to manage my money without busting and hope for a win.

Maxim applies to anything within casino walls. -$80 on a buck a spin is St. Jobe level. You can play all damn day. That's preservation of capital at a near bulletproof rate. Can I sit there for an hour of it? Impatience would cripple me. That's like sitting on my JOB progressive and playing one quarter until -$16. It will never get that bad. But I won't win a damn thing either. It certainly checks preservation box.
