Congratulations on both. How long were you playing the DW machine before the RF?I was going down the bar top hitting machine after machine. I stand most the time since I move so much. If I find one game paying well I stick to it for a few and sit. This machine I hit the Royal on, I hit a Royal on it last Sept. while playing CS. I would say less then ten minutes.

I love these stories - congratulations!

My best one was I was completely out of money so decided to download my last $5 point play and play 2 hands of 50 cent denomination DDB. I got a flush and some other good hands then 3's with kicker. I switched to dollars to try it out and got 4's with kicker. I left the machine with $900, stopped at my favorite Triple Play dollar machine where I like to play $100 on my way out if I'm ahead. I got aces but only betting 2 because that's what I had left of the hundred. It was $320 so I played a few more hands at max bet and got a Royal for $4,000. Crazy!

Wildman, thought I was alone in moving from machine to machine. have a idea why you do so, but, I will not ask, as the math police/true believers will most certainly come swooping in.

Wildman, thought I was alone in moving from machine to machine. have a idea why you do so, but, I will not ask, as the math police/true believers will most certainly come swooping in. Notes, it's great that we can talk about our play here on the forum. We all play our own way, I say whatever works for you go for it.I am an odds player, so I start with JOB, if I hit a full house in the first 3 hands I am changing games. Why? Full house comes in 1 in 90 hands, sure you can hit them back to back but the odds say 1 in 90 so I change games, play out all the games on the 99% plus pay tables and move to the next machine. If I hit a 4ok I change games or move. If I hit a wild royal I change games or move. I try to play on slow days and early mornings to go down banks of machines. I been playing near even for 3 years now. I can't say the way I play is why, I just know it works for me. Been playing everything from 5 nickels to 5 dollars a hand and everything in between. Depending on how long I play in a day I play 30 to 60 machines. The casino in Mt. Pleasant MI. has over 200 machines.One of the main reasons I can play more even in my free play amount. Here is a year to date up date of my play.                   2016Coin in $294,000Free play $4410Up $2020 with keno hit, up $270 with out keno hit.The Free play is not all from VP as I hit any promo's to get more if its worth my drive.

Once in a great while I play exactly like Wildman and never had a losing session doing so. I just can't seem to stick to it. I get planted, comfortable with my game and drink and...well you know the rest. So often, you walk up to a machine and the very first hand is a good one. The same goes for your last bet. So many times you will hit something playing your final credits. For the math guys, I will just say ahead of time....you are right and none of this makes any difference. However, follow someone around for a day or number of days who plays this way and you will see what we are talking about.

Wildman, thanks for response. let me see if I get what you are saying. while the RNG is supposed to be 100% random and the belief is that anything can happen at any time, you are playing your version of 'the odds', that certain hands will only occur so often. am I correct? when up, take your money and move to the next machine?
