An Almost Great Win

Post by BillyJoe »

Since I never seem to get any great wins in casinos anymore, I thought I would share a recent "almost" story. I was in New Orleans last week. I was playing $.50 5-way TDB. Was dealt four deuces, no kicker. Held the four, and got NO KICKERS on all five hands. $10k (if dealt a kicker) went to $1k. Needless to say, I was a little miffed. So I swiched to $.50 3-way TDB Double Pay with a triple bet as max bet (that's 90 coins instead of the normal 30 coins for 3-way Double Pay). Soon, I was dealt four to the royal on the bottom line, and of course, drew nothing. That ONE MISSING CARD on the deal would have been a $108k jackpot !!

Dealt low quads w/kicker on TDB 5-play is 10000 credits, $5000 at 50 cents, not $10,000.  I did see a lady get dealt a royal on 3 play 50 cent double pay on the bottom hand for a $36,000 payout at Caesar's in Vegas last December. That must have been awesome for her. It was also her birthday, what a great present.

You are right Mule, it would have been $5k instead of the $1k that I got. I guess I shouldn't have been as "miffed" as I was..

I think the double pay would have just been for that single line not all 3 lines.  But hey least you got the $1k :)  and yea double pay will eat your lunch quick.
