Back to recreational play for a few days

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

Back to recreational play for a few days

Post by wildman49 »


Wife and I hit the casino Saturday over night for our anniversary. Comped room and steak dinner. After two hours of play I get dealt a heart flush but 4 to the royal, throw away the 8 of hearts and in came the 10 of hearts! Royal number 10 this year.We play till 5am! After 5 hours sleep we play till 4p Sunday and head home. After being home an hour we head the the smaller casino in Standish Mi. for more play. We play the slot tournament and low and behold my wife wins the thing. $500 in free play! Comes back the end of July for a shot at a trip to Vegas.A great time of recreational play  for two days but today its back to the 40 hour grind.A side note, I hit my first sequential royal ever last week. I have had nearly 100 royals but never sequential one. I know that STP pay table is bad but when your playing for fun you play what is offered and I know many just will not play it but anything can happen on any machine at any time. Just don't make it a habit of playing a zillion hands on them.Good luck chasing the Royal!////

I had one sequential but it was not on a bonus machine so I only got the regular payout.

An anniversary you won't soon forget. Congrats to you both!

Nice hit wild. I got my first royal same way.. winpoker says it’s about 600% better to hold 4 to the royal. Not going to lie tho, it took me about 20 sec to hit that button..

First off, Belated Happy Anniversary. Nice hits for y'all. I've hit enough RF's holding 4RF and discarding the 5th flush card. Foolish not to. I can say I've NEVER hit a sequential. I've hit RF's playing "Either way royals" but not for the bonus

Congratulations both on the Royals and the Anniversary. Ours is coming up this Sunday. 46 years. I'm guessing you can guess where we will be at least part of the day. Congrats again.
