  I concur gentlemen! Who said we VP players aren't superstitious? Like Mike said, each deal/draw is an independant cycle and the daggone RNG thats been shuffling itself will stop wherever. Every machine in the house theoretically, has the same odds of hitting the big RF. Good luck

Well, every machine in the house has the same odds, while it is being played.  I think that's the hang-up.

I just caught your post. You must have been reading my mind about playing the end machines! I play in AC @ Bally's Park Place and always the end machines for the same reason as yours. Talk about the six degrees of separation!

Quite confusing  but i usually heard of that, although I rarely play on video poker machines.

I have had sensational luck on end machines, always head for them and move to them as they become available! We always ask for aisle seats on flights because they are more comfortable and conveninent as well. Too bad some airlines are starting to charge extra for aisle seating. Happy day everyone!

  Marie, did you do it because you have been lucky in the past on the end machines or did you do it because the ends are usually the first ones you encounter?

End machines have been very lucky for me! They are more comfortable and convenient. Always easier to return to a lucky end machine than find one again somewhere in the middle of a row. I do understand my chances should be equal on any machine in that row. I am playing for fun, challenge and to win as much as I can in the process. Wins support future casino expeditions, frequent vacations and other extras. I cannot count on steady wins for a living. I consider this a very fun and profitable part time job. RE earlier post: Several machines have not taken fives and others will not accept tens. If a machine does not take a bill the first time, don't we all try again and again? I find this distracting. Never had a problem with a crisp bennie on the first try or even one with a small tear, corner fold or scotch tape! IF a bill will not work face up as usually directed, try it face down and sometimes this works.

  Thanks Marie, for your honest answer. Some of us are creatures of habit and tend to head to the nearest machine IE: on the end of the bank usually. I know at least thats what I do. If the bank of machines are busy, I tend to go elsewhere lest theres nothing else available, then I'll take what I can play.
