Royalless Streak Round Three
Posted: Mon May 09, 2016 9:36 pm
I really hate to open this topic again, but based on the circumstances, I really think I need to bring it up. Most know from my prior posts, that I have had 2 Royalless streaks of over 500k hands in the last couple of years. Unfortunately, the streak is off and running again. All of these results are from just one casino, Mohegan Sun. The last one on a single line game I had was in early January. The last couple of sessions I have been playing 3 or 5 line spin poker mainly because I found a couple of machines with a good paytable on Bonus Deuces Wild which is my favorite game. The 98.91 machines at Mohegan Sun from what I have found only offer regular Deuces Wild and only on single line to get that paytable.
I posted the other day about how I was now up to 271k hands without a Royal. I had another marathon Sunday night and part of today, and unfortunately, the trend continues. The play pattern is about the same. I play either 3 or 5 lines. Some on quarter play and some on dollar. This time the average was 2400 hands per hour for a total on 11 hours. Don't worry. I did take my breaks in between and even got a little sleep. So this time we will have to add another 24,600 hands to the total. I will even round it down to 24,000 hands to make my new new Royalless streak total 295,000 hands.
Luckily, the session ended up about even with a very small loss of under fifty bucks. I did catch quad deuces Sunday night on 3 lines and once on the center line only this morning on the dollar machine. That would make them hitting about every 6k hands which is a little off, but within reason. The Royal situation though is starting to bother me and my wallet big time though. Not that it matters, but there were no Royals hit by anyone within my earshot either last night or this morning. I also did catch my share of wild Royals and a couple of times, they were dealt so I caught them on either 3 or 5 lines. I had a total of 6 chances at a Royal where I just needed the one card. What I thought was odd is that every time it was in spades. I also noticed the card I needed appeared somewhere in the next dealt hand all six times. I thought that was a little weird too. Edited to add this one item. These All Star machines do pay 800 for 1 for the Royal for just one coin bet on the spin poker option only. That is why I play them. I could never afford the dollar machines otherwise. I am curious if anyone out there who plays All Star machines on the spin poker option also gets the 800 for 1 paytable for just 1 coin bet. That is one thing I can't argue about. The paytable where I play is 25/20/13/4/3/3/1/1 making it a 98.8% game. I forgot to add that I hit 5 Aces a number of times and that pays 80 for 1. The 25 number above is for the wild royal.
