Thanks. Yes. This was early in the Clone cycles. After, I tried some single line Deuces, but it was cold. They got back about 300. I’m happy, but it seems like I never learn to hit and run. When I switched back to single line JOB, of course the Deuces came in on that game. Twice in fact. At that point the message was clear. Quit now!

Congrats on the rf Olds. Adding to what Ted said, on the bright side you avoided a W-2 G. Hope your entire trip turns out positive. Mrs Olds as well.

Regarding the heat out here, it's one for the record book. Nevertheless, people are out and about. As my late wife used to say, you go from an A/c house into your A/C car to your A/C office, store, casino etc. You also can avoid the heat of the day by shopping etc. after sundown. Once the sun goes down, so does the temperature. Hard to believe, but 105-110 after sundown is not intolerable. Better than dealing with snow and ice. as long as you have A/C.

Ok good. Yes, the snow and ice is a Royal pain especially as you get older.

Congratulations, but you gave back .37RF. RF is generally the signal to cease operations and run.

Yes at that point. Next time if there is one, if I still feel like playing I will budget 100. If that’s gone, I will chill with a cold beer, hit the gym up there, or watch one of 6 HBO stations they get. Maybe all three. Maybe AI can zap me if I take any cash out and or touch a machine. They may eliminate us in a few years anyway if we aren’t careful and that’s no bull.

Two topics which should generate some discussion. I think the reason I am doing ok lately with the clone lately is the lower variance by playing more lines and a smaller amount per line. If I bet 1.25 on a dingle line 9/6 Job game, I have a better shot of hitting something short term with 5 lines at .25 per line. I want to emphasize short term.
The other topic is newer vs older Vp machines. In general, IMO, old is better, but I cannot explain why. Only guess. The new ones have when I play longer dud cycles and short compressed good cycles but end results being the same on both. One exception. Bizarro just installed 3 curved glass bar tops. All next to each other. One I have never lost on. The other two, not so hot. Unless it’s 4:00 am, you can rarely get the good one as other players have figured it out as well. By the way, I do expect some response quote “that is total nonsense replies” That’s ok. I will go with my wallet, not what should be if the RNGs are working as they should. My results on the curved glass machines are without any Royals being hit and quads and full houses hitting close together. 9/6 JOB games.

I’ll be doing a lot more hopping. I can’t afford any more three figure loss trips. Time to buckle down and be conservative. The trips home have become torturous agony.

Superstition doesn't have an off switch.

It's always on.
