Well my little bad run continues. Tried that STP machine again, but played dueces wild this time. I had more fun with it this time as I got a good deal of play out of my 100 bucks, but I just couldn't ever get ahead. Moved over to a single line multi denom and played bonus poker deluxe for $ and lost the rest of my roll. Nothing of note happened on that machine.

Noticed on my way out the progressives as the bar had a $5700 jackpot waiting to be hit, but I held strong and walked out the door. Just didn't feel lucky enough yesterday so I'll save it for another day.

Wow. $1700 over the RF payout is enough to make a poor paytable positive. Stick to your optimum play guidelines and go for the RF. Luck is essential but knowledge of the game gives you a marked advantage.

You're right and I wish I wouldve looked at this before hand. I stick to several rules and one of them is never go over what I intended to lose. I can't waiver from this, even to the point that I won't take money from a friend or wife if it's offered. However today is another day

Well better news out of camp Rogers today. I was really looking forward to playing to progressive game I mentioned above but apparently someone was having better luck than I was the night before because the 5700 had been claimed. Oh well I guess it's time to find another game. I spotted a 4600 progressive for DDB plus it also has a sequential royal bonus, so I figured why not. I sat and pumped a couple hundreds in before catching quad 5s off the draw nice hit for 250. A few hands later 4 ladies come through on the draw, and another 250 to keep slugging at a hand pay. At this point I'm up, but still a couple hundred from my goal of doubling up. I was feeling like I was pretty in sync with the machine when I start running cold, really cold. I guess I couldve walked up as an attempt to end my bleeding but I was finally feeling good about my luck, maybe I was off on that, maybe today is just a continuation of the past few sessions.

Anyway I ran my money back to being 100 down and decide this machine and I are not working out, so I pack it in and look for my next shot. "uhgg" I spot my nemesis, that damn STP machine that started this bad roll. I swear this thing is making eyes at me and I think " oh I can't stay mad at you". Well if somethings worth doing it's worth doing right, so I pull up the seat prop a foot up and select 10 line dueces. Not a game for a man in my position that's true, but I'm ready to turn this thing around, so no more fooling around. 1st hand out the gate my stomach drops as I'm dealt 4 to the royal. Maybe she just wanted to remind me who I was up against, because I don't connect on one. I managed to grab 2 wild royals, so it's a start right. I wasn't long before I realized maybe I should back off a bit, because my money was fading quick. Down to 200 dollars I back down to 3 line dueces. It's also not long after switching that I begin to question why I thought it was ok to trust this evil machine again. Ahhh well I guess I'll be down and out again. I'm down to my last few pulls and at this point I'm standing so I can make my quick exit. Nothing, nothing, ok last pull and I'm out. First card comes up duece and the second starts the super times bonus. "ok at least I have a duece to work with", bonus settles 2x. "darn". 2x move over to resting spot on lower left corner, and second card comes up duece "alright more promising now" 3rd card 7 4th card duece!!!, 5th card duece!!!!! A sigh of relief and a press of hold on all 4 dueces a hit of the draw button and I nice 1500 dollar hit.

A new run, a better run hopefully begins. Thanks for reading and I will post both pics ( my $8000 royal and my last pull dueces) hopefully tonight.
