The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Karl - the machine selections at the bars include some All Star II and some Game King machines.

Payback percentages are available in the MA gaming regs.

Now here’s a lucky MA gambler. Maybe she’ll finally ditch her hoodies for Hermes.

Well shucks, $1500 on ten-play TDB (dollars???) is just getting started.

Am in Boston, MA again for work Monday and Tuesday of this upcoming week. Stopped at Encore Boston as I thought maybe, just maayyybbbbeeeee... Nope. Left -$1,000.00.

I got dealt trips aces 11 times between two machines and didn't hit the fourth ace once. I got 4's with a kicker once for $500.00, didn't do much good. I dropped my denomination down to .10 and I was dealt quad 5's on 10 play. I just shook my head.

I'm not stopping at Encore the next time I come out here.

Sorry to hear. Paging George Santayana! Don’t feel bad. It took me five hours off and on for my quad Aces yesterday. That was fool’s errand enough. Time I’ll never get back.

You, of all people, should not be bringing in critical realism when discussing video poker play.

Not that it's a good thing, but it does indicate you are human. Given your recent consistent fantastic results, I was beginning to wonder.
