Off to Nevada

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Glad you had a good trip. OMT and the Mrs., and that you got back to Buffalo safe and sound. Hope your stay at Seneca and your subsequent drive home goes well.

Unfortunately for us, we finished up our trip with a sour day at Seneca Niagara, losing considerably more (around $1800) in a couple of hours, than we did in two weeks in Nevada. We played 25c five line deuces wild bonus there, and had that loss despite each of us hitting quad deuces. You just never know with this game!

Yes I hear you OMT and that unfortunately is still my favorite game. I agree it seems like feast or famine most times. If the Deuces aren’t being dealt, we usually are finished in short order. Especially on multi line. To cut my losses I have a few sessions where I just play single line. ( Luckily I have an 800 for bet one machine ) and after losing 40 or 50 times my bet, just up it by one. Same pattern if I lose 40-50 times that bet level. Up it one notch again. I’ve been able to stay even playing that way for 3 sessions without a Royal or Quad Deuces because 5 Aces have come in at the higher bet level and brought me back. Anyway, glad you are back safe. Still nice to be able to get out and about at our young ages! I guess I’m fortunate to have one machine with a 98.8 pay table for that game. It’s a dollar game, but I only have to start at bet one because of the correct Royal pay table. Also it is only available on Spin Poker to get those odds.

Discipline disaster. That Niagara Faaaaaalls is treacherous indeed. You were both in that barrel headed for the downs. It is an especially painful day when premium hands cannot even bring the player(s) even.

There have been a few that have survived the falls in a barrel... not sure about the casino.
