Started much lower than that. In fact, only 25 cents on the Joker Kings game. The other game is a dollar machine. That one starts out at a buck a line. After a loss of 20 times my bet on that particular game ( very volatile ). I start playing 2 lines then 3 eventually. No increases till a loss of 20 times your bet at that bet level. Eventually, if you haven’t busted, something good comes in. That’s just the way “ The Clone “ works. When I held the dealt deuces and drew the last card, I had a chance of drawing an ACE. If one came in, it would have doubled the win on that line.

Thanks all. The Royal was first. I risked half of it on the deuces. Pure luck. 10 hour Marathon. Of course I ran after that one.
Lol. And another day and a half you'll be running back there.
Congrats on the dealt hand.

Pretty close. As of now, Monday eve if we can keep the water coming into the basement under control. 😬 2 feet of melting snow, three inches of rain, and more rain in the mix don’t work all that well together. Thanks TT. A long wait for that one. I think dealt quads come around about as often as a Royal in draw poker. Now I start all over again. Blackjack people count cards. I count time intervals between events. Or number of hands. Pretty easy to guesstimate within 10 percent. Of course every hand is independent of the last one, but probability is a different ballgame even though people use the words as if they are the same thing.

I have certainly had dealt quads with much more frequency than RFs. I am currently working to match your consecutive month RF achievement. It is hard if not impossible to keep up with Marathon Man.

Thanks again Ted. FAA, unfortunately a plus session often requires more than a full day’s work. Even then, sometimes the one good hit never comes. Dealt quads as a whole will show up in the long run roughly every 4,000 deals, but since there are 13 suits, it is over 50,000 deals in the long run to hit dealt Ducks! Then just like my 2 previous Royalless sessions of over 600,000 hands, it is easy to see why dealt Ducks could be hundreds of thousands of hands apart. It is just an estimate, but this time, the dealt Ducks drought ( I think I just invented a new term ) DDD for short approached 400,000 hands. I also over the last few sessions squandered a good bit of cash hoping against hope to hit them on the DDS Bonus Deuces Wild game ( 97 percent ) where they pay 200 bucks for just a .25 bet then doubling after you view your first 4 cards. These machines are antiques now. Bizarro has a few left. I play them every few sessions with a hundred or so. They pay a fortune for the top hits. My best ever was back in 2016, a dealt Royal on one that paid 18,000 bucks for 18 quarters bet. I think it was August. In general though, they just take your money. That’s why Bizarro keeps them on the floor. 😬

Have you heard of Love Story on FX? The lead’s boyfriend wears a rather prominent UConn tee shirt in Episode 2.
