Have you seen the $1M Wheel of Fortune winner from Stamford? Her winning phrase was certainly a howl! Maybe she can send a little luck up to your neck of the woods. That’s a nice tax haul for the Nutmeg State!

Yes, lots of coyotes up this way throughout the state. Have a couple that come around the yard here every couple of days looking for scraps or our wild rabbits. Our trip was not a total bust, but pretty close. I had one nice hit while playing catch-up. Unfortunately after a break went right back to playing and squandered a good chunk of it. Almost all actually. The hit got me even +100. I might change the ringer on my phone to. “ know when to fold em. “. Dollar play did me in. A one in 10,152 shot on that hand. Can’t remember the last time I got dealt one. I have to look up the odds on a dealt one. It’s thru the roof. Looks like it is one in nearly 221,000. Makes sense.

You know that drill Ted! 😂. If you like the game, you want to play! On top of that, mentally, I like the challenge of beating the house! 😬 👍. Add to that, great company who likes to play too, great friendly employees, really nice paid for rooms and good free food, free play and gas for the car, and yeah! they got you/me! Speaking for myself of course!! Good luck all. AND TO BOOT A SPARKLING CLEAN CASINO AND NO SMOKE!!!

Thanks. Yes! Thats a rare one. Been years since I’ve had another dealt 5 of a kind on Joker Kings.

We had an overnight Sunday evening. Nothing special to report. I played 9 lines on Spin Poker nickels. Luckily, it was an 800/1 machine, but only a 96 percent pay table. After a number of losses, I advanced to 2,3,4 5, all the way up to bet 10 per line and the results were not good.
About 5,000 hands per hour were played. That’s because of the 9 lines. Bummer results. 4 Deuces only hit once. There should have been about 8 hits in the 8 hours or 40,000 hands of play. No Royals. Loss over 500 bucks. The Mrs fared a bit better with a minor loss. 😬. She had a few nice hits. I’ll post if she sends over the pics she took. May try again Thursday. Not sure yet. Fun, but frustrating. I’m at about 200,000 hands again without a Royal.

Too bad your results were not better, olds. Better luck next time.
