Roveer Harrah's 7/1 and Caesars 7/15

[roveer]

Here are my last 2 trips.  I think I'm in the running for worst picture on videopoker.com.  New phone/camera and I guess I was a little excited too.  It was 10k.
 
OK, I've got a question for the ages.  I see this happen all the time and I've never felt comfortable asking anyone why they do this.  Everyone knows that I play a bit of Ultimate X.  Almost every time I play I end up with someone sitting next to me who sits down, puts in a ticket and then starts hitting a game, hitting more games, hitting another game and cycling through all of the games and then sometimes actually plays, but a lot of the time hits cash out and walk away.  it's like an ADD physocis.  Young folks, old folks, foreign folks everyone seems to be doing it.  Can't for the life of me understand what they are doing.  Can anyone shed some light on this or is it just an is'm?  We've got the screen knockers, the button smashers and now the screen cycler's.  What gives?
 
We also saw "The Blue Man Group" on Saturday night.  The show was a lot of fun, especially at the end with the huge flying balls.  They gave us 5th row tickets which turned out to be really great.  I started getting nervous when I saw the people putting on the rain coats but nothing came our way.  I did see a twinkie fly...  Roveer is up to 2 Shows!

Roveer - yeah, these are what I called "scammers" - they are looking for people who walked away but left a multiplier on a particular game.  They will then play 1 hand of that game hoping to hit a winning hand.  They don't have to add the extra 5 coins per hand for the multiplier to still apply for that 1 hand.  I've seen a couple of guys thats all they do is go from machine to machine checking every game to see if there is a multiplier.  Where I play they are multi denominational and they sit there for about 5 minutes slapping keys.

roveer,
Dont worry about the photo quality just keep hitting those great hits! I love seeing them.

Many people play for the "hot" game/machine. So if their not hitting they move to another game/machine. I'm occassionally guilty of the same but usually after I gone through a substantial part of my bankroll or played a couple of hours on a machine.

WTG roveer, with beautiful hits to inspire the rest of us! Gal in our area admits to being addicted to slots. She embezzled $650K from her company to play in casinos. Time for a reality check!  If that shoe fits....! OR glad I am NOT in her shoes! Alas, some peeps in MI want to add 8 more casinos. Huge billboard in Pontiac screams NO to more casinos and we agree!

Hey Roveer,  I bet those 3 tens got your adrenaline up higher than the 10k hit with that great 10x.  pushing draw must have been exciting!

Re: Ultimate X: I call them "bottom feeders" and make a point of scowling at them. The same people seem to do it over and over, too. Nice hits as usual.

Nice hits Roveer. My pet peeve is when they cash out and leave their winning hand on the screen. Really poor etiquette I think.

Very nice hits!  I usually only play nickel and quarter denom, but you inspire me!  Think my next trip I will use my entire bankroll to play the $1 denom.  WTG!!

Allow me to caution you and everyone that playing these games at the higher denominations can crush a bankroll in minutes.  These games are not for the faint at heart and you really have to know when to quit.  The pictures can be inspiring but most of the time it's ot all it's cracked up to be.  I've had a hard time lately keeping my sessions in positive territory and when things aren't running good, youl'll be broke before you know it.  Just being honest.

Nicely done. Every time I get a multiplier at STP I get dealt a 2,3,6,8,10. I am due.
