Practice

[FAA]

Sure. My machines of choice are only five coin max. Hope my RF will be too.

One way to make sure of that…..1.25, 2.50, or 5 bucks a hand. Hopefully you have BP in those offerings. Of course it costs nothing to hit a Max coin practice one!

A quick serving of holiday cheer. Visualize brick and mortar replication. Drop a deuce.

Is your plan to print a copy of this photo, take it to your casino of choice, tape it to the screen of a video poker machine and stare at it?

Gobble, gobble, gobble...

I’ll try anything at this point.

I have just about given up at this point. Winning a bit one out of every 20-30 trips just doesn’t cut it. There is a reason the Vp machines sit idle most of the time. I get kind of tired saying it’s just a coincidence that I can stay just about even on this site, Wolf Vp, or on the Wizards site for months if not years. I won’t say there’s something amiss with the machines. People can make up their own minds about that. I’m just reporting my own experience. I should have learned when I had those 2 stints of over 600,000 hands without a Royal over the years. My last Royal was 10/23. Sounds like not long ago until you do the math. An average of 3 lines played at a time, 8 hours a session, maybe 1500 hands an hour based on the 3 line play and 15 trips since 10/23. That works out to 180,000 Royalless hands give or take. I’m almost tempted to start another thread ( but it would be too boring ) and report the practice results. I already know what it would show. A 98-99 percent return long term and Royals right about on schedule over time.

Olds, I feel your pain. I have been holding my own, maybe because my trips are short and I only bring a bankroll of about $100. Not sure why that is as I hear about folks complaining. I find lots of frustrating dud streaks and oddities.

[Tedlark]

Come on people, can we keep the talk of discombobulated vp from taking over the entire forum? I, for one, and am not alone, believe that vp in brick and mortar casinos is on the up and up.

Agree, though as I insinuated, sometimes I wonder.

[olds442jetaway]

I do agree with reservations. Only because millions of hands seem to speak for themselves. Maybe it varies from to casino to casino. Don’t know since I only play at one. No on line gaming for me. I also cringe to think about the use of AI which has already started several months ago and that is when my poor results got even worse and that hasn’t changed. I will give it a bit longer. But not much longer. Much too long of a video to post here, but I’m almost tempted to. Say I hit 4 Deuces on a given machine. Absolutely without exception, if I don’t change machines, in less than 5 minutes, that machine will go into a dud spiral straight down with streaks of 20-40 hands with nothing except for a few pushes.
