what is the worst cold streak you've ever had?  i bring this up becuase yesterday at mgm detroit i put a 100 bill into a dollar machine and got nothing after 20 hands.  i put another bill in and it wasn't until i was at 65 credit that i got a winning hand.  so by my count this was 27 hands in row with nothing (playing white hot aces).  i t must have been the worst streak for me, i've gone 27 spins on a slot machine with nothing but i cant remember a drought like that in VP...

next time you will hit 3 sets of quads and a royal in 15 minutes

The worst streak for me is 24 hands where I actually knew the number. I assume I've had worse since I rarely pay much attention to this kind of streak.

I've blown through $100 VERY fast on a $1 progressive machine. A few times. But I don't recall ever doing it without a single win. That's no fun. Hopefully you had a better streak that followed.


 
My worst "cold streak" was over the course of 3 trips. I went up and down, but lost each trip. Fortunately it was followed by some very nice wins on subsequent trips that more than made up for the losses.

Worst cold streak? It would be this weekend in Vegas, $1 DDB for 3 days without a single 4 of a Kind, nothing better than a Full House and those were few and far between. Never before have I had such a bad streak, but the last 2 trips were winners, so I guess my number was up.

How many hours, how many hands? When I'm in Vegas for 3 days it's like 30 or so hours and 20,000 or so hands dealt. It's all based on how many hands, not how long you were in Vegas.

Some of my most memorable cold streaks...
 
3,600+ hands without a 4OAK single line DDB
93 dealt trip aces before I drew the 4th
64 dealt 4 to the Royal before I drew the case
 
And my current streak of about about 180,000 hands played since my last Royal continues...
 
 
 

I had two bad 4RF streaks, 208 misses to start out one year and then 199 to start out the next year. (This year I'm 4 out of 69)


 
Twice I've gone over 200K hands without a RF and I have a continuing steak in one particular casino of 225K hands without a royal.

I have had three years of playing now without a royal.  I had four to the royal on Friday night six times and never got it.  I am ready to get one this weekend.  Going to go to Horseshoe Southern Indiana as they have (hope they still do) good pay tables.

That statement doesn't really mean much unless you include information about how much play (hands) is involved
