This will probably only last so long

    Just some notes on recent success I have had playing Bonus Deuces Wild. 98.8% machine playing spin poker on 3 lines at a buck a line and this game does pay 800 for 1 for the Royal with just bet 1. I have managed 7 W-2Gs since July 1. I play the 3 lines at bet 1. Since getting 5 Aces pays 80 to 1, anytime I have lost 80 bucks, I bet 2 bucks a line since hitting 5 aces will get me back even or more. I know I have just been lucky, but I haven't busted the budget yet. Budget is a thousand bucks. Should work the same way with quarters but be cheaper and the odds poorer. In a few sessions, I have caught quad deuces and Royals resulting in the w-2Gs and one time the 5 aces were deals on all 3 lines causing another w-2G as well. The bottom line is I only bet the amount I need to be even if the 5 aces hit. The other premium hands are gravy like dealt 5 of a kinds, dealt royals or even wild royals etc. I know this can't last forever. I wonder what the odds are I will bust the thousand budget and not hit the 5 aces or higher in a session. That is beyond what I can compute unfortunately. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the ride. Has been a long and expensive time coming until I started playing this way.

Glad you are having success. Hope it continues.

As long as it's working, who cares?  I love your scheme.  I can't sit in front of a machine and flat bet forever.  What a boring proposition.   That's what I liked about the old CS system.  The excitement on every max coin bet was magnified.  Too bad I didn't have the benefit of a single coin royal bonus like you have.  If I did, I would still be using it.Olds, I bought a Black 55 T Bird yesterday.  V8 3 speed manual with O/D.  Original owner, original paint, unmolested car with zero rust.   Can you believe I found one like that?

Can't believe zero rust in NY!! Must of been kept inside.

I know. Couldn't believe it either. Sat in a heated garage for years. Dusty but everything works.

Sliding Scale is my choice. I vary almost every hand to minimize my losses on what we abhor, a negative game. It's much more fun to zigzag in and out of traffic. I may go high drama max maybe half the time. On dollars, maybe 10% of the time. Between the negative games and the frequent cold cycles, you're most likely going down. How much are you willing to squander?

Phil, finding that car is better than hitting 2 Royals in a single day.

[wilcoxfun]

I agree with olds442jetaway finding that car is awesome.

I was only in NY for a day or I would have stopped by the Mohegan Sun.  Good thing I had Waze installed on my phone or I would still be circling La Guardia.  What a mess with all the construction.  Had some great Italian food while I was there.  NY has the best restaurants!

Wayne Carini of the show Chasing Classic cars on the Velocity channel would be jealous. That car was in his back yard. I owned a white 60 bird once, but not the same as a 55,56,or 57. The Mohegans finally got me today. Never hit 5 Aces. Never mind quad deuces or a Royal. Maybe another trip tomorrow nite, but it will be foxwoods for the most part. I may have worn out my welcome for awhile at Mohegan. Also, just as an aside, I missed a nice car due to my own fault at the Barrett Jackson at Mohegan. The wife and I were there off and on and near the tail end of the auction all of the big guns had left. One of the last cars to go up was a better than new 99 Benz SL with only 13k miles. All original and flawless. I hadn't registered as a bidder ahead of time and didn't have time before this car went up. It brought just over ten grand. had I acted promptly, that car would have been in my garage and would have been my wifes retirement car. Thats exactly what she wants and after 45 years of putting up with me, I have no reason to not get her one just like it or a similar one. I better hit some jackpots though to pay for the maintenance costs on that car. I know I won't be able to do everything myself.
