A Biloxi Bonanza

[Eduardo]

Amazing. Most will never see ONE of these in their life and you got two!

[jackwells]

How wonderful!!  Way to to go and may the luck be with you in Vegas!

Great job BillyJoe, Why don't you come to L'aubege in Lake Charles where you can mop up. We can always hope can't we.

What is this machine that pays 72k for a RF?  Why was it not just 12k? I saw a guy playing TDB in vegas this year and in 20 minutes of jumping between 3 machines he had hit one for 20k and the other for 40k.  He took it all in cash and when I saw him later he was running around with a 2" thick stack of hundreds plowing them into any machine he could find. My biggest fear in life right now is that when my dealt Royal comes (I've got a few million hands under my belt without one), I'll either be sitting at the bar playing dollar single line or worse quarters, or god forbid, noodling around playing nickels.  It strikes fear in me.

He was playing Double Pay poker, which has extra payouts for wins on the deal.

Eduardo is right. The machine was Double Pay (also called Deal Draw) - the game was TDB. There is a pay table for the deal, and one for the draw. On the deal, an RF on any line pays 60,000 credits. Since it gave it to me on line 1, I was able to hold it for all three lines on the draw.

 Now I get it.  I think I've played that game before.  What a great game to get your dealt royal on, and for him to get it twice is really something.  Congrats!!!!

Congrats BillyJoe.  We had a nice time between the Grand and the Beau last Friday and Saturday - got to play but nothing big enough to bring home. Good for you!  Robert

Ha, thats sweet.  Consider yourself lucky to come out of Biloxi a winner. Minus the Beau which has horrid paytables that place is a wreck for med to high level VP.  Quarters to Nickels you can play forever.
