Who says that you can't draw winners ?

Did you hit any jackpots? Did you get a great comp? We all want to know!

[QUOTE=onemoretry] [QUOTE=ko king]Congrats on those hits but who said you can only get a premium hand if it's dealt?

I didn't say it is impossible but its not as easy as it used to be, just look around social media. Most photo shares of premium hands are dealt at the $1 level and up.

Did you ever consider to think that people may only share their dealt premium hands because they play so much people would be disinterested in all their quads? There is bias toward dealt quads here. It my Vegas TRs I tend to post them all because I don't play a ton per day, but if I did, I would stop posting things like quad 7s, unless they were dealt.

First, congrats to the original poster on his winning hands!Second, the "perception" that  it is now very difficult to HIT on draws when holding three of a kind (or even a pair)  to complete the QUAD is something that numerous people have noticed and either spoken or written about (either on this forum, or in the case of "spoken" instances, several of my friends and family members who play Video Poker in both AC and down in Connecticut.)As usual, there is very little in the way of HARD, empirical evidence to support a claim in either direction or support a conclusion of ANY type!   But in my own personal experience the last 5 plus years playing primarily in AC, I have simply noticed a drastic reduction in QUADS of all types and circumstances (dealt, drawn, Quick Quaded, or dreamcarded.)     it is part of the overall trend and practice in AC to simply hold (or "gobble") players' money that is inserted into Video Poker games/machines while paying out dramatically LESS winnings over time......the existential crisis facing the Atlantic City Casino Business and its individual casinos is the obvious reason why casinos in AC implemented such a practice and tactic.

I've had some pretty big swings in quads playing Super Triple Play at Harrahs AC. My best day was 19 playing 5 hand and my worst day was 0. This past Thursday I think I got 9, with none paying more than 500. You just have to be there when its "fixed" to your advantage.

So why are you always trying to get people to believe what you say about video poker in Atlantic City? And then get mad when they don't?

I mean dealt premium hands like AWAK or the little ones with a K. Not all dealt quads.

What I am saying is if you look at social media these days you will notice that most premium hands at the $1 level and up are dealt compared to drawn. It use to not be like that.

Perhaps people don't bother to mention routine drawn hands on social media, and focus only on the dealt ones since they are somewhat special?
