I've never posted before, and I'm certain this isn't the best jackpot in the world, but it was for me on Monday, Sept. 24. I was tired of playing vp for 4 days, so I segued to a penny machine my niece had told me about - Quick Hits/Stars and Bars. I put a 20 in. Shortly thereafter, I had a bonus round. Then a bonus round within that bonus round. Before you know it, a prompt came up on the screen: "Call Attendant - Hand Pay $3,237.07." I almost flipped. The casino took out MO taxes, and I ended up going home with a check for 3101.07. Feeling rich, and since we were flying back to MD that afternoon anyway, I headed for a quarter Triple Play DDB. On my last pull, I was dealt 4 Aces. Hit a kicker on the middle hand for a $900 hit. What a wonderful end to a great trip.

Terrific hits, Munrosm. I, too, enjoy playing those Quick Hits slots occasionally. They are a lot of fun, and in your case, quite profitable.

Thank you Marie, Billyjoe and Lucky Larry for your kind thoughts. Yes, the $$ I won went to the bank Tues. morning to be deposited into my "mad money" acct., which funds all my gambling forays. I'm still feeling the glow.

Larry, I can see why my niece, who is as addicted to VP as I am, chooses to play this particular game occasionally. I will give that game more attention on our next gambling trip. YouTube has some great winning videos - none of them on Stars & Bars, so that is my secret!!

Boopsahoy, it was, indeed, great fun. My husband has more fun and luck on penny machines than I do. What a surprise, after penny machines off and on for months (at his request), to have what I consider a monster hit. Thanks for your thoughts.Sharon
