Fictional UK pro soccer coach, late of KC.
Ding, I also tend to use the hourly loss metric. Three digits is a disastrous entertainment value.

Ahh, I'm more into intellectual humor. Think Marx Brothers and not the Howard Brothers...

That happened to me once on 100 play Pennies years ago at Foxwoods. Miss on all 100 lines. 😬
I think you were playing a non-kicker game (or BSing). The odds of getting dealt 4 Aces and then not hitting the kicker on any of the 100 hands is extremely low, approximately 1 in 3.1 trillion.

So, it can happen then.

He was dealt quad aces on a hundred play machine and didn't draw a single kicker.

The Mrs and I were playing together in the early days of the Ct casinos. Pennies only back then on multi line. Her game is DDB. Mine usually Bonus Deuces or Deuces. Anyway, yes. We were dealt quad aces, but at the time we were short coining. We had either one or at most 2 cents bet per line. We were dealt the quad Aces on a bad 7/5 paytable DDB game and not one kicker appeared. So yes anything can and does happen in vp. Remember my 2 stints of over 600,000 hands without a single Royal. Not once but twice. We might say that is impossible until you look at something very simple. Just think of the probability of say even 6 consecutive hands coming out exactly the way they come out. I can’t even do the math on that.

The 100 hand kicker free AAAA is astounding.
Last trip I had an excruciating 2 hours plus at Caesars quad free. I then got two within twenty minutes. By then I was betting minimum to seal my fate.
