Sharp shooting on the 5-Star
After a brutal December and early January, my gambling budget was just about gone. With numerous finacial irons in the fire, it might have taken a few months to get the casino fund built back up.
I only play single line games and spend most of my time on the good old Game King or the 5-Star - which offers single line versions of Dream Card, UlT X, Quick Quads, Double Pay, STP, DSTP and Random Rewards.
Last Saturday wasn't going very well playing TDB Dream Card. Was dealt a low pair with kicker, when that sultry siren called out "Dream Card!" - giving me trips. Boom! Caught the quad on the draw. That was my first time ever catching a Quad while holdimg the kicker. Didn't even spin it off and went home.
Yesterday, I went to my other local with $300 and decided on DDB QQ. Was up a few bucks when I was dealt 4 Aces $1000 with a shot at the kicker. Nailed it. My first time ever getting dealt aces on a $1 machine.
While waiting to be paid I put my remaining $100 in the machine and 3 threes with an ace was dealt. Held the 3s and kicker hoping for a deuce or a 3 and the last 3 popped for another $1000. Total time in the casino - 43 minutes. Gonna chill out a while, Vegas is coming soon.

Strap yourself in on the wild variance roller coaster where riches can be made and lost just as fast! Awesome hits! Nothing like riding hot on those games. Hope the VP gods continue to rain fortune upon thee!

/ You got that right. Especially with Dream Card. Either you catch a jackpot or go broke. I don't remember A DC session where I broke even.

Congratulations on your first positive DC session. Quite a memorable one too, not the token few bucks positive ordeal.

Too rich for my blood though. :(------------------------------------------I hear you. I foolishly abandoned the sleepy, conservative quarter JOB area yesterday. A lot of fun and a $100 loss.

Nice wins!
Hard to believe you connected on a low pair + kicker on TTB sooner than a trips + kicker on TDB. But the opportunities are much more often in the former.
The Southpoint does not offer the full pay DDB QQ game you played anymore, hence it is a priviledge. Be sure to get GOLD membership to get training.
