The Worst or Best VP Day?

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Anyhow, probably the best vp day was hitting the first quarter royal--many many years ago--[which ironically was hit playing deuces--after just learning to master basic Jacks, of course grinding out losing, I switched to DW for the fun of it---wham!]....second best was maybe hitting first [only] dollar royal last year [rarely played $1 before]..Any day that I get at least 10/1 coin-in for my cash out of pocket---I'm happy....

Years ago at Bellagio I was playing $5 machine, one coin at a time. I hit 4 aces and was happy. I moved over one machine and played 2 coins and hit the royal. The attendant came over to tell me too bad I hadn't bet max. That would have been over $22,000. I was very happy with my measly win in comparison. It was money I didn't have just minutes ago.

Suicide? More like the start of FAA Massage Month. Remember the M.A.S.H. theme song? Suicide Is Painless by Manic Street Preachers. Dancer must have sung background vocals.
