That’s primal scream territory. The stats say JOB owes you almost 12 quads. You were so jobbed.

Did you catch wind of MS half million dollar Monopoly slot win on March 28? “Progressive Level 1.” There must have been some buzz. Get out of jail!

I guess I am going to have to list my latest JOB Clone money management method as. Failure. Sunday nite and also Monday in about 8 hours total play produced NO!!!!! Quads. Of course no Royals either. Budget buster. I don’t think any progressive money management method could withstand such a horrible dud streak. All single line play. About 5,000 hands. The probability of 0 quads in 5,000 JOB hands must be through the roof, but it happened. No wonder I have my suspicions about AI involvement. No proof of course.
Wife and I having the same here Olds. JOB single line just the last 2 days between us 3000 hands with 1 4oak to show for it. I to feel something not right can't prove anything but seems strange to go so long without the average coming in. I been playing much more deuces, had the very rare dealt royal Saturday night. Did have a nice SF.

Good luck to you both. I had a dealt Royal too a couple of months ago. It had been 7 or 8 years before that since the last one. Another thing I am noticing on JOB. The full houses are either not coming in at all or coming in clumps over 5-10 minutes. Another easy way to bust anyone’s JOB bankroll. I have been playing more Deuces too or Bonus Deuces. One thing I need to do regarding Deuces as in some sessions they don’t show at all and others 3 or even 4 times in a single session. if I played nickels without Deuces, the next session play Deuces. If still no Deuces, the next session play dollars. It will be pretty rare for the Deuces not to show in 20,000 hands or so. Along the way of course, I hope to catch a Royal as well. I have been I very bad slump since the end of February.

Hope you Olds, Wildman and your better halves break out of your slumps. It is contagious as I have been generally in one since last November.

Thanks Bill. I guess we could catch worse things. There are some nasty viruses of many types going around out there. 🍀 to you too. I’m glad your lady friend caught the Royal though!

Just a few quick notes on our last trip. It was a bust for me, but the Mrs managed a tiny profit. When she forwards me her 2 nice hits, I will post them. They got her even after an all nighter of mostly straight down on Triple play DDB nickel Ult X.
Just to show how completely insane VP can be, after I busted, I was speed walking the casino to work the Kinks out and stumbled across 2 discarded tickets. One for .35 and one for .45. It was way past normal people’s bedtimes, so I just stuck them in my wallet, gathered up the Mrs who was cashing in anyway, and then headed up to bed just before sunup.
After catching up on sleep, coffee and for a very late breakfast, we checked our cards for free play ( Nada ) just in case and worked our way toward the garage elevator. As I passed by a closed bar, I remembered the two tiny discarded tickets. I told the Mrs. I would just be a minute playing them ( hoping to get them each up to a buck even ). The Mrs said ok and she wandered into the small convenience store just before the garage elevator. The bartop machines were only 8/5 JOB. I put the .35 ticket in playing 5 cents a hand. On the 6th hand, I was dealt 3 to a Royal. Of course, I said UH O to myself and sure enough, a 12.50 Royal connected. Shaking my head in shame, I cashed that out and stuck in the .45 ticket again playing 5 cents at a time. Sure enough on the 9th and final hand, 4 to a Royal appears. ( same machine ). You already know what happened next. Another 12.50. As a consolation prize, the next morning, we went out for coffee and a couple of Canadian bacon and egg sandwiches at our favorite diner which were great. We had enough left for a nice 7 dollar tip for our long time server. At least I think that helped make his day a little brighter. 😊. After that, the Mrs headed out for errands and I stopped at our Animal Shelter for a quick chat and a donation of some things they needed as well. Made me feel pretty good too, but I had to scoot to avoid walking out with an arm full of furry friends. 😂.

Two nickel RFs. That’s as big a howl as those in the animal shelter! Don’t spend it all ($25) in one place! 😆
