Hit 4 Queens at Racino
I played with the racino's free $5.00 coupon and much to my surprise I hit 4 queens on DB (6/9) almost immediately without risking any of my own money. I was on the quarter machine playing the max. so I won 250 coins=$67.50. I took the cash because I remembered that I read on this forum that video lottery terminals have a pre-determined outcome so using basic strategy doesn't matter and I didn't want to give the money back.A few hours later I walked passed the machine but another player was on it. I told him that I hit 4 Queens earlier and the player said if he hit 4 Queens he would get the heck off the machine because he played everything on that machine..JOB..DB..DDB..etc. but he was losing. After our conversation I was glad I kept my money and stopped playing.Last week my neighbor won $2100.00 at the same racino playing a quarter slot so I guess video lottery terminals can pay off good sometimes...

I just love it when a person walks away with the casinos money. Smart!

Jeena, That was a very, very smart move. Understanding what you're up against (lottery terminal vs. random outcome) is just as important as knowing how to play the game. It's the same way at Empire City in Yonkers near where I live; one time I got two royals out of three lines holding just one card. There was a cloud of dust near the exit shortly thereafter
