Going on 2 years. I bang away at the dollar DDB progressives at HH and Ameristar a couple of times per month. A couple weeks ago, the DDB at HH was up to 6k, with a 9/6 paytable and good comps - as good as I am likely to find locally, but alas. I play a fair amount of quarter Ultimate 4 of a kind and nickel UX - any of which could generate a W2G.

Every time we leave a casino, my husband asks "You didn't get one of those things, did you?" He doesn't like it when I win OR when I lose. Alas, no pleasing some peeps!

That was weird. It said my response to Marie was spam? What the hay?

No clue, but this was left blank with my name on it. Why, why, why?Carroll Hall Shelby's car factory/gift store and museum was interesting, especially the hour guided tour that is offered twice a day. We learned that the Mustang convertible that one of our son's accidentally wrapped around a tree would be worth $75K today. The factory is very near Mandalay Bay. Also, the DaVinci exhibit at Venetian is a must see!

Hey Luigi1, There does seem to be a parallel! May our spouses NEVER meet! (theywillconspiretokillus!) Is G a scorpio, also? IF so, good luck with that!!!We were just at beautiful Red Rock Canyon, NV., admiring a scorpion. I related to the PHD/Dr on duty of G's experience of getting way too close to a scorpion! Remember that? Owwwwwww!

Dollar 7/5 Bonus single line with Ultimate 4 of a kind Bonus is technically the best you can find at Hammond consistently. Or quarter 40/10/6 DDB Spin Poker at Hollywood Joliet. Both are 99.96%. That's better than most areas. And no W-2G for 2 years? No AWAK or Royal? :(

Nope, neither. November makes it an official 2 years. There has been some breaks in the action while I rebuild the BR though.

most people I know (well four people I know whom I have specifically discussed this topic over the last couple months) have received fewer and fewer w-2s over the past years.....I myself only caught 2 in all of 2013 (both were 25 cent progressives).....in 2012 I had 4.....in 2011 I had 5 w-2s.      In 2010 I actually hit a $1 machine for a royal at 4,000 and had a total of 7 w-2s!!     I forget what I had in 2009 since I cannot find my records for that year but I know it was more than 7 since I spent a lot of time in Vegas that year before switching full time to AC.   Vegas had a lot more 25 cent progressives than AC.ANyone else noticed a decline in w-2s over the years without being explained by a overall "cutback" in one's amount or level of play????
