I wouldn't want a Quick Quad.......................
 
Put me down for a higher variance game like Royal Aces, with bigger ups and downs.  As the saying goes, "the bigger the bump....."

Well I DONT want One Eyed Jacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Hey Boops, now thats good stuff. Initially thought about Wild Thing but setttled on MG/MD.(more ways to play!) Considering this thread offshoot also has gender attached to it, I suppose I should call it a Game Queen machine!

I should move more often. Lately I can dump $400-500 in one machine and barely catch a few low 4 of a kind. This is at the Tohono O'dham in Tucson. I swear the have tightened up the machines.. They just opened their new casino so I'm wondering..................Comments?

I tend to move machines.  But recently when I was at the Bellagio playing a $2 DDB machine I actually hit three 4OAK's in four minutes.  Two were within two hands of each other, 4 Kings, 4 Jacks and the last one was four 2' s with a kicker.  Needless to say, it was a nice payout.  I played a few more hands and won a bit then I stopped.  That was the most four of a kinds close together in one session I ever had.  What fun!

I could use a few quads!  Played 1,200 credits in cash not counting the minor wins with Flushes and Full Houses during the play, and I hit only one Quad (Queens).  That was on DDB.  Didn't do much better playing Blackjack.  Some days it's just better to play golf.

Back to back is just as likely as 3 hands apart, or 300.

Random is relative. At least in my family.

Well, let's see - playing single line on this site I was once dealt a bonus quad w/kicker followed less than 10 hands later by another dealt bonus quad w/kicker.  Too bad that I was playing DB. 
 
In real life - about 10 years ago, playing $1 DDB I hit a bonus quad on the first hand after sitting down.  Very next hand I was dealt a bonus quad w/kicker.
