Bizarro World 2023

Does this mean that losers get 200 thread count sheets instead of 100 thread count winners get?

I'm not sure I can tell the difference, to be honest.

Correct on the lack of full pay machines at Bizarro on multi line machines. However, my lack of hand pays comes down to not enough jackpot hands. I have always lost more for some reason on 99 percent machines than others. And the top loser of all at least for me is 99.54 Job. Just too many sessions with too few quads and not enough Royals. And that has been for years for some reason. That’s just the way the cookie has been crumbling. Until they ruined it right after Covid, my least losses were on just under 99 percent Bonus Deuces Wild. If I want to play that now, it will cost me 15 bucks a deal to get paid the correct amount for the Royal. That is also a spin poker machine. It used to pay 800 for the Royal even if you bet a buck on a single line. No more. Not only did they change that, they went to 15 bucks to get paid the correct amount. I did hit that machine back in 2016 for 18 grand. I had a big bet in and was dealt 4 Deuces plus the Ace. Ancient history now. Too many words and not enough pics on this thread lately. Mostly mine. Still wishing for my long gone One Eyed Jacks 2 cent machine where I was allowed to go up to bet 100 times 2 cents. The Clone killed that machine for awhile.

Have you ever considered going less often in order to have a larger bankroll and thus play the denomination and games that offer better paytables or don't penalize you as much? At this point it seems you've been forced to alter your clone strategy or abandon it altogether and resort to playing inferior, low denomination games.

Kind of thought about it, but I do enjoy the ride up as well as the overall casino experience up there. I still use the clone, but I just cut it off before the bets get too high. There are still machines there I can play in the just under 99 percent range that pay 800/940 for just bet a quarter. I probably should for now just stick with those. The Mrs. likes to go too and besides playing, she likes not having to cook dinner. Heeee. I have been in slumps like this before and usually ( though not in the last couple of months ) I will catch a big jackpot in the 3-10 k range. That’s always possible with the clone. I just need to slow it down. I tend to up my bets too fast many times instead of waiting out the machines. For instance, if I am playing Deuces Wild, I could wait until I have lost 200 times my bet. If I am playing 3 or 5 lines on spin poker, for 8 -10 hours which might be 2,000 hands an hour or so, it is very likely that I would catch 4 Deuces before the session is over and be even or better. Of course any Royal that comes my way would be a great bonus. In the long run, whatever that really is, if I am playing 5 lines, at my play rate, that would be at least 3,000 hands per hour meaning in less than 2 hours I should catch 4 deuces on at least one line. Now,forcing myself to play that long without upping my bet, that’s another story. . Actually, the Mrs and I plan an overnight trip tomorrow after dealing with some yard work and falling leaves. Yuck, but gets us outside and keeps us active. Hopefully, Sunday or Monday I will have some new pictures to post instead of all of these words.

Different strokes. If I could win the same money playing at home online, I would rarely if ever set foot inside a B or an M.

Yes please! I feel like we need a short-coin royal, just to get it under our belts. I did my part by posting one in the other thread. Yours doesn't have to be dealt.

No more short coin Royals from me. The machine ( that big tall one) that never beat me, but did last week won’t played again. Ever since that slot mechanic was fiddling for 3 hours with the cube of 4 machines, I have lost on it. It got me for I think 300 bucks that night, and the Mrs and I played it together twice since then. Both times we lost a hundred on it in just a few minutes and playing just a buck at a time.

No on line gambling for me. No interest at all in it. On line stock trading yes! But everything is so unpredictable, probably very little of that too. At least with the market, I can deduct/have the Government pay for 22 percent Fed and 7 percent State of my losses.

That's such a scary experience. You feel that the casino has totally cheated you out of a day of fair play. I know that I will likely lose. Just don't make it feel like a robbery.

I tend to up my bets too fast many times instead of waiting out the machines. I could wait until I have lost 200 times my DW bet.

I completely understand. We get there and the adrenaline and urge to hit big hits. The problem is when the machine decides to reward you with the premium hand early and you feel like a complete loser.

Sorry my bad. I meant to write short-PAY royal. Ideally it should be 250, but I'll accept 400 if the max pay is 940.

You'll get around to it eventually. I thought you were still redeeming free play at bet-1 250-pay, but maybe that was also disrupted by a slot tech.

The slot techs can't doomswitch everything. How many machines in the facility offer video poker? How many have you tried?

You need to try all of them.

Back from an overnight. Both of us couldn’t hit anything last night. The Mrs hit a couple of small things on DDS bonus deuces wild after lunch today, but it only kept her even for the hour she played today. I had already cut my losses from the night before. Playing regular Deuces Wild and not hitting anything ( quarters ) airport deuces leaves to chance to be anywhere near even. This is a very brutal batting slump for me and the beginning of one for the Mrs. when we had lunch in the lounge today, what few VP players that are left were all saying the same thing. One would think the only players left in the lineup were pitchers who were able to strike out, but couldn’t hit a single to save their behind.

You're like a kid on a seesaw. Every time you rise to the top, you think you're king of the world because of your amazing seesaw-riding strategy.

And every time you ride to the bottom, you think the seesaw is rigged, and you checked with all the other kids and they keep going to the seesaw bottom also.
