Sorry, for the long story, but here goes....
Went to Horseshoe Hammond on Sunday afternoon for the finals/drawing of their Ultimate Jackpot promotion, intending to be there for the four drawings and then getting dinner and leaving if I didn't get drawn. Some six hours and 25 names later, I hadn't won there, but had grown my $200 investment into Pai Gow Poker into about $1,500, thanks to a long-overdue Royal with $8 on the bonus ($1,200).
Ended up staying way too long, and was winding down when I decided I'd take a chance in the high limit room. Broke even on the Elvis slots and then also on the $5 WoF (got one wheel spin, only hit $200, putting me up $20)... went to the $1 Super Times Pay Poker, playing 3 lines of Dbl Dbl Bonus.
Hit 4 10s for $250 pretty early and then about 10 spins later....

Yes, was dealt the royal. After the initial shock, the next thing I remember is the security person coming up to the machine, looking and getting on the radio and saying she needed a supervisor!
I was more than exhausted, but I live more than 90 minutes from there, and certainly wasn't driving anywhere until I calmed down. Gave a couple hundred back to the craps table... but walked away not too much later!

Too bad you didn't get super times on that spin. Oh well, I guess you'll take it anyway. Good job!

Congratulations, awesome hit!!!
I'm really thinking about switching to VP, these things have been raining RF's more WOV members, recently.

Quote: IbeatyouracesIts the year of the dealt roya! Always sweeter when playing multiple lines too.
May it continue for at least another week!
While winning the promotion would have been sweet, you got a pretty awesome second prize there.

Nice hit!! Brings back memories...
Six royals are better than 3 right? lol I got this at Flamingo in Februrary...but only on a penny machine. :( Just for that one hand, I wish my brain would have forgot: "This crappy 6/5 Bonus STP machine only pays back 97.14% longterm, so don't bet $6 a hand like half the people who play it". My original intention for playing that machine was so I can stare at the "Pleasure Pit" for cheap. :)
