Bad Slide
Man ive had a bad run going lately. If I get dealt 3oak one more time without picking up, Ill scream. Or how bout Dealt Ad,kd,qd,jd,4d=draw=9d. It gets better............Dealt ah,kh,qh,10h,js=draw=jd............. Enough already. Its amazing how well you can go 2 weeks and then just tank out for months.

I have those 9 low flushes too, However, it could be worse. You could have drawn the 9s.

Boy, can I make you feel better. One streak late last year I played over 1,200 hands of multi-play 5¢ with 4/RF and couldn't steal a RF. Finally, one night my wife comes and sits next to me. I had already missed one dealt 4RF hand on 25 play. She draws 4RF on 15 and hits 1RF; moves to 25 hands and draws 4 RF again several hands later and hits three RF. Moves to 100 play and sure enough catches 4 RF within 20 hands and catches 5 more. I finally hit my RF though.
It dealt me 4 RF again and I let her hit the button and she (I) caught 1 of 25 hands.

I feel for you... earlier this year I was dealt trip Aces 94 times on TDB before getting the 4th ace. Now my current streak is 77. So thats roughly 160 dealt Trip Aces without drawing the 4th one. Now dont get my wrong I have had quad aces but they have all come from a 2 draw or 1 draw.
1 in 24.... whateva... lol....
ETA: I don't even count the 2,3, or 4's They have to be about at same count.
The first of the year was really HOT but it appears its drying up for the summer.

ya, Im thinking of heading back to my 50 and 100 plays. I just dont feel like I hit a royal when it pays $40. Its funny you mention the wife. Mine belted out 5 royals(.25 prog) in 2 weeks and I was knockin out AcesW/kickers to boot. It was a heck of a run but now we're heading down the other side of the hill. Riding the peak was much more enjoyable. The 3 aces dealt...........my favorite. Im sure that Ive picked up more on 1 or 2 also, weird.

Have to ask a question...How do you keep track of how many hands you have played...I know it must be shown on the info area above the machine that shows your pt.s but never thought of checking hands played.......Is it different in each casino or the same everywhere....Aprox. how many hands does one play in an hour?

The normal method is to watch how many points you earn. If you know how many hands it takes to earn a point (most casinos tell you the dollar amount for each point) then just keep track of your points and do the arithmetic.

kjohn,
Like shadowman, I count the number of session points. The count came over several trips to the casino and sometimes I keep track of certain hands - especially when I'm not hitting the norm on a night. Last trip I had 3 Aces on Super Aces 3 times on 25 hands and didn't hit but my wife hit 16 Super Aces for the night.
On single hands I can play about 300-400 hands an hour with high % on the computer. It's their money.
At the casino I try to play much slower. With multi-hand 5¢ it is even slower since I often take the machine off or "turbo" mode. I also switch between buttons to touch or change speeds when I'm not hitting a good streak on the RNG.

Just to update my current streak of getting trip aces dealt and not grabbing the 4th. I am up to 134. So add that to the 94 times of my prior streak makes a total of 228 hands and only getting the 4th ace once.
I echo 1 in 24 - yea ok
I doubt I will run into a streak of now getting that 4 ace 10 times in a row.
