Congrats Olds, I like your style; I have never actually played Deuces Weld Bonus in a casino for real money before, but it looks like it might be fun playing multi line spin version. Spin poker in general always seemed to me like a Slots version of an otherwise strategy-centric game like most VP offerings.

If you're looking to do that, Casino Rama has six hot roll machines that have the 98.8% deuces wild bonus game on them. You do not have to enable the hot roll feature.

That’s good. I wish I had 98.8 for quarters. One hit that was a bit hidden in the pics was when I switched to 98.44 Joker Kings for a few minutes. I hit 5 of a kind in a couple of minutes which is twice as hard to get as quad Deuces. Both games have long dud streaks sometimes. That’s why I keep having to lengthen my wait time before I up my bet with the Martingale Clone. I really need to wait longer still to avoid deep losses in my bankroll before I get anything good. I think next trip, I will wait for a loss of 80 times my bet before advancing. Five Aces pays 80 for one. Deuces of course 200 for 1. And Deuces with an Ace 400 for one. Here are the approximate frequencies. 5 Aces every 3,000 hands, 4 deuces every 7,000 hands, 4 deuces plus the Ace about every 38,000 hands. To find the long term frequency of any hit, just go to the Wizard of odds site, pull up the paytable from the game you want and the correct return percentage, then just divide 1 by the probability of that event.

Discipline failure. Again. Why do you so often do what you say you won't do?

Nature of gambling. I did start out with the nickels, but soon realized they weren’t hitting any better than quarters or dollars. I had already dropped 200 on nickels which is a lot. I still have limits and luckily the ATM limit is 1k per day. My loss limit per session is 800, though years ago it was higher. Quitting after some nice hits is difficult too, but I almost always go back to a low denomination. Sometimes one overlooks the fact the fact that whatever happens is a short term event too and actually means absolutely nothing in the long run.

Here are a couple of the hits from the Mrs. I wanted her to send more to my phone, but she said no, the 2 best ones were enough. She had about 6 other really good ones. We both played long sessions. She plays DDB nickel 8/5 Ultimate X. Not a good paytable, but manages to beat me up every year. She plays a steady1.50 a deal. No Clone for her.

Here’s one for FAAs record book. After I quit my usual game, I played some quarter 9/6 JOB just for some chill down time. The machine hit 8 quads in an hour, but would go 20-25 dud deals in between. I had the 400 quarters up to 1164. I was going to quit at 1200 quarters. The same machine kept up the dud streaks , but was quadless. And hardly any Full Houses. In one hour, it took the entire 1164 quarters back. At that point, I was done for the trip. There is a reason my Mohegan Sun thread titles are called Bizarro World. I also saw a player hit on DDB quad Aces and the next hand quad Aces with a kicker. Total insanity and Bizarroness.

I’m borrowing a term from AP. JOB is not called that. It’s called “ Quicksand “
