First post, first hand pay

[PredsDawgs]

I've been a reader of this forum for about 5 years, but have had nothing of significance to post until just a few days ago.

I've been playing video poker for a little over 20 years at nickel and dime denominations, but recently have been playing quarters or multi-lines at all different denominations.

This was dealt to me on a Double Double Bonus Super Times Pay machine on dimes with 5 lines and a 4X multiplier for $1,600.



Since it wasn't the absolute nuts, I still had to hold each card before getting paid, and I knew it was something significant, but had no idea it was of a hand pay amount until the screen locked up.

This happened at Hollywood Casino St. Louis (Maryland Heights) which is the only casino I play since it's less than 10 minutes from my home.

It's certainly a nice feeling when the attendant is counting out Benjamins in your hand, that's for sure!

A first hand pay is a special event. Congrats on "losing your virginity".

And all this time I thought it was the "40 year old virgin" but maybe 20 year old instead?

Well I'm 43 and have been playing since I was 21 but like I said at lower denominations so never a chance to get a hand pay.

Normally my favorite game is Super Double Double Bonus Poker because of all the different kicker combinations you can get even though I know that the pay tables aren't very great for the full house and flush.
