Short coin Royal with tiny free play

Post by olds442jetaway »

I recently started splitting my time with Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. Got tired of not getting any points I can spend at Mohegan. All of the vp at Foxwoods pays points you can spend. As far as I know though, there are no 99 percent quarter ganes at Foxwoods. Anyway, I had a tiny 5 buck free play at Foxwoods. I decided to play it on the dollar game right near where I picked up a free guft. I bet one,2,3. Hoping for a small win to cover the gas. It costs about ten bucks to drive up and back. This was the result. I don’t mind the short coin, but the W2G for 1200 in the nose sucks. Especially in Ct. Still glad I got it. Played a long time with 200 bucks eventually losing and went back to Mohegan. Stated overnight there. Played and lost 200 more there, but still went home plus 800.

The extra 48 bucks in the credit window got built up from the five. I would have cashed out at 50 bucks. I was betting one twice, two twice, 3 twice then starting over at one. I had hit a quad at bet 2 that paid 34 bucks and a few smaller hands.

25 bucks a hand Ted. Nice paytable, a 5 coin bet pays 4700 for the royal. I think the return is just a bit under 99 percent

I have been playing joker kings a bit lately. The quads are way more frequent than job like 4 times more. They only pay 17 for i but still. Also the straight flushes and wild royal can keep u going till u hit the 5 of a kind or the real royal. The 5 of a kink though is twice as hard to hit as deuces wild and it pays the same as deuces

At that cost there are only 4 hands worth going after and hitting one of those would need to be done relatively quickly unless sufficient bankroll is behind you.

Congratulations. You had to know it was hot with the big balance off your measly $5! Still dreaming of hand pay heaven at the shore.
