let`s talk speed

Post by Ohio Bob »

when you play multi line games do you set the machine to play at the fastest speed possible? Only way I like 100 play is with speed to the max! My wife on the other hand prefers it to count thru the hands slowly.

FYI..it looks like on here I can do 800 hands a minute in 100 play! Probably drops to under 40000 hands and hour with pay  outs for larger jack pots.

Anything but the fastest speed drives me CRAZY.

However if I am holding 3 or 4 cards and going for a Royal I might slow it down so I can watch in 100 Play.

I prefer to play at the fastest speed, but my bankroll always lasts longer when I put in on a slower one.  Plus, I make less mistakes.

I play at the slowest speed and also pause between hand or even pause
before I hit draw button. Seems to give me more winners. Also if it seems I have hit a losing streak I will pause for 2-3 minutes to let rng spin. It seems to work.

Obviously, you haven't played against some of the same Blackjack Dealers I've played against

Good advice, however, the more people play the more likely they will come to understand that waiting really doesn't make any difference.
 
The last RF I had came right after losing several hands ... had I waited? You got it, no RF. Random is, what shall I call it ... RANDOM. Waiting really has no impact on your expectation and only serves to reduce the mental frustrations of losing several hands in a row.
 
Now, do I ever wait? Yes, for a second or two just to relieve the stated frustration. However, I never EXPECT it to be the reason for any changes in my luck.
