Video Poker Forum

    I was working on a combo of the Phil method and my own Martingale clone method up at Mohegan Sun last night. I was playing on the lone bank of nickel spin poker machines that luckily pays 800 for 1 for a Royal. I was playing regular Deuces Wild starting at 3 lines with just 5 cents a line when out of the blue a Royal appeared on top line after I held 3 high clubs on the center line.
     I was glad to get paid the correct amount, but like I think I just posted the other day, I couldn't buy a Royal this year on a quarter machine with 5 or more quarters bet. You would think after nearly a million hands played, I would have hit 1 anyway at the quarter level. My record still stands however for not hitting one in all that time on the deal line and most of that extensive play is on single line machines at the quarter level.
     I was so taken back by the little hit above that I cashed out for a time, grabbed an ice cold one, and watched the game on the big screen. I later returned to the same machine and hit quad deuces on the bottom line with just 5 cents bet. I never finished the practice test. The clubs let out around 2am and 4 or 5 little black dress girls filled in the rest of the bank of machines where I was playing. They didn't care much about poker however, and were for the most part just sitting there hoping a waitress would come by and take their drink orders even though alcohol had just been shut off. They gave up after about twenty minutes, but by that time my concentration was broken. I wonder why.... . I did save one of them a little money though. The little black dress gal to my right was playing deuces wild, but just hitting deal and never holding any cards. She had put in a twenty and it immediately went down to eight bucks. When I showed her how to at least hold her deuces and read the pay line, she hit a couple of Wild Royals and got her twenty back. My test will have to wait until next time. The mini soap opera was a nice change of pace at any rate.

Kind of cool to get a little surprize now and again. You still get congratulations from me Olds!

I enjoyed the story regardless, thanks for sharing. Wish you could win bigger to recoup your losses from last year.

A setback is only a setup for a comeback.

Chivalry is not dead when Olds is in the house.

1 million hands, holy smokes. That would be 25 hours a week for the whole year thus far banging away at 1000 HPH.

When I first looked at your thread title I thought it said you hit a $40K royal flush, I was happy as could be for you.

     Pretty close....but since I usually only play about 600 hands per hour unless it is the Double Down Stud game, it is more like 3 trips a week at 10-12 hours per trip. Most all of it late at night to early AM.....and yes, I still open and hold doors for the ladies young or old. I do wish the foreign ones would learn to walk to the right though. Would save a lot of near collisions in the casino.

     That would have been something and come close to making me even for last year....

I hear you, I've dropped from $2 and $5 denomination down to only $1 denom and I'm still losing as much as ever. I haven't played in a couple of weeks and may be done for the year if not for good. I've managed to play over 60K hands of $1 denomination TDB without a single handpay.

awesome!
