You know it’s bad when free relaxing rooms get cancelled. I no played Last Resort the last two reservations and limited play last time to avoid the no play trifecta. I just get hammered at MS’ big brother. Both are bullies. You know the definition of insanity. I’d be swimming with the fishes by now, Quadfather.

Well I’ve for now given up on games I like like Bonus Deuces Wild and Joker Kings. Just too many dud streaks on high variance games. Well, higher than JOB. So I resorted to plain OL JOB with a twist…..Triple Spin Poker quarters, but with an 800 for one paytable. Unfortunately, for now, I can only find 8/5. I know I won’t find a 9/6. Maybe will find a 9/5 one.
So I had a couple of sessions with a very mild Martingale Clone progression. It starts with a quarter bet and one line and up progressions after a loss of 3 times or more of one’s current bet level and backing down one level on any win more than one’s current bet total for that sequence. For instance, if I was betting 6 lines at .25/line and won more than .25 before my first loss, .50 before me second loss and 1.50 before my 3rd loss, I would back down to the previous bet level and start over.
I was lucky enough to hit a baby Royal at 800 for bet one when I was betting 6 lines at a quarter a line. Talk about luck, I was only holding a single Ace!

This is so confusing. I guess if all five cards appear anywhere, it’s RF. You turned the tables on a bad table for $200. That makes for a cheery ride home.

That's not necessarily the case. There are pay lines, and all five cards have to be on one of the lines.

Great result, though! How many times do we whiff on draws having much higher likelihood of success? And then we hit one like this! That's why I don't have much hair left.

Whatever you have left, it’s more than me! 😂 Thanks. I think it hit on some sort of zig zag pattern.

Yeah, what I deduced. If a player like yourself can barely untangle such a mess, I won’t even attempt it.
