Amazing

I was in Bally's AC high limit room. Guy playing TDB hit a quad 5-Ks, which triggers a $1,250 hand pay. While waiting for the paperwork, he takes the adjacent machine. I would just enjoy the moment, but it's not my $25 a hand. I walked past and had a seat about ten yards away. About five minutes later I notice two attendants crossing paths, one towards him and the other departing. One said to the other, "twenty thousand." I was sure she was mistaken, as the hit was $1,250. I arrive and see that he has now hit a $20,000 Royal Flush! This exceeds the Caesars $17,000 slot hit as the largest jackpot I have personally seen. I said, "Congratulations!" He barely nodded at me. Quite an even keeled gentleman. I'd be using the back of the seat as a pogo stick.

It's relative, calm down. I play a lot of $5 VP and you are going to hit for $10K and $20K on occasion. But you are also putting a lot more into the machine than a quarter player. So it is really relative. Someone who hits for $20K, unless he is a newbie with a pot shot, looks at it like a quarter player might look at a $1K hit.

Hell, may even be still down for his trip.    Hopefully not though.

Yeah, he bets twenty times my $1.25 and got twenty times as much for his RF. But on crazy variance TDB. I salute him.

No envy here either. I don't want to be digesting his Statement in February. That document would send me to AA. He was such a stick in the mud. It's at least a 45,000 to 1 event on TDB. Live it up at least.

I would hope he wouldn't play 9/7 TDB strategy on a 9/6 or worse machine...    Royal probability is about 1 in 39.7k for 9/6 TDB with mathematically optimal play.

I think that you'll find a game in which you'll only win
