Thanks. My bets ranged from 20 cents to a max of 1.20 on Multi Strike nickel game. 17/7 so not bad 98.44 assuming no short coining. We were pleasantly surprised to pull out $110 each out of the machine especially considering no royal flush other than a wild one and the small bet amounts. A combination of the clone and multipliers did the trick. I think now is a good time to coast for the rest of the year betting in this range and not blowing all of the recent stock market gains assuming they will hold up for the rest of the year. You never know even a three or four word headline can change things in either direction in minutes. Hardly anybody reads the details anymore. The average person doesn’t even know that the inflation numbers represent the rate of increase over already high prices. Funny, how they leave out food and energy in the core inflation rate because they say they are too volatile, yet those two items are what hit many people the hardest.

Solo trip planned for later tonight. Hoping for an instant replay. Will be trying the same Multi Strike machine. Nickels. Max bet on this machine is ten per line so 2 bucks to play all 4 lines. At least it pays the correct Royal amount for bet 5 per line. 98.44 Joker Kings. 17/7. Star

Good trip. The Clone did fine playing nickels. I pushed to quarter play with the 100 I made on nickels and caught them good as you can see from the pic. + 300 for the trip! I’m not complaining, but if I had caught the 5 th 5 on the top line, the payout would have been .25x6x200x8=2,400 bucks.

Thank You!!!! Discipline😬 Discipline😬 Discipline😬. Was sooo tempted to go to dollars. 😬. Six bucks a deal on quarters was bad enough. I think dollars on this game would require at least a 5,000 bankroll and even then……Never any guarantees in VP.

You can complain. You were spinning away $6 a pop. That’s 20% more than my waste. With all the losing trips we suffer, $300 is not nearly enough when we do win. I’m bummed that the RF failed on my trip. But I did identify a winning machine.
