Yeah but they have very loose lending requirements. You get the money, and if you don't pay they break your legs. Seems like a fair trade with no credit check.
Anyway here's another. I literally got this in 5 hands. I stuck in $300.
After hitting this royal a few days later a host came up and talked to me. Probably wants the money back.....

It looks like the picture was taken after he was paid and the machine was reset by the attendant.
Quote: IbeatyouracesTrying to add the picture here but nothing works including photobucket. Here's a link though...
You're coding it wrong dude. Photobuckets default tags don't work on this site. It's listed here: https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/info/help/1-formatting-codes/
And I one-lined 25c 40/10/6 DDB spin poker deluxe for a bit last night at Hollywood Joliet to grind back some freeplay. Had a pair of 6s to start, end up with four 6s on the bottom line. I hate playing spin poker because of crap like that, but it's Hollywood's best game...grrr I had no quads that night, but my g/f while waiting for me got dealt 4 2s while playing a single penny...fml
Also, it's usually not considered the reverse sequential I think.
Really, it's been that bad.
Quote: Mission146I've run so poorly on live VP, lifetime, that if I drew Quads holding 3OaK in DW I'd probably feel compelled to post it!!!

I have one of those pics in my last blog post! :P
And generally me too...mainly the problem is: My "big hits" are more often on 1c, 2c machines than when I play 25c machines. I have had three royals, but the highest denomination was 2c. Fortunately, one of my penny royals was dealt, so it acted more like a nickel royal with the number of lines played. Mostly I play nickels, but occasionally quarters if the machine has high payback. But without the Royal, even the best machines will be a rough ride. :(
Quote: tringlomaneI'm half tempted to put something over the top and bottom lines, but casino personnel would probably yell at me over that.
lol that is a good idea. I still like to see cards instead of "slot" squares when I'm playing VP.
Ate like a king on veteran's day. Good variance to you all.
Quote: djatcPopped 3 royals within 24 hours. All of them quarters though :(

Nice can you give a recap of your route?
My friend just went to Applebees, Little Caesars and Denny's since they were the easiest to get to. Said the Applebees had a vet meeting everyone at the door thanking them for their service and designated one table for POW/MIA. He said Denny's people were the most rude about it and treated every vet asking for the special as a freeloader.

Jeez...three? How overroyaled are you now? Location of royals and free meals?
Quote: Ibeatyouraces
Played one line at the wrong time!
Why I despise this game...ugh. Do you get good cash back on these games? Is this the only way they offer 9/6 JoB? God I hate Spin Poker.
Quote: Mission146Just out of curiosity, why only one line?
In my own case it would be: "Because that's all I can afford!"
Spin poker often has great paytables at quarters or dollars vs. other games in many casinos because I'm thinking they assume you'll often play max lines with max bet. But the way the game is programmed, you can obviously see that betting max lines is not required for a 5 credit bet. Spin Poker Deluxe (20-line game) is the highest paying game in Illinois for quarters, for example, with 40/10/6 DDB (99.96%). The 40 is for the Straight Flush because any game above 100% is illegal in Illinois (and Michigan where Ibeatyouraces usually is). The game with a standard 50 for 1 straight flush pays 100.07%.
Quote: tringlomaneJeez...three? How overroyaled are you now? Location of royals and free meals?
Hit about 10 since I moved here. I've made tithings to the church of glitter gultch, chase, and visa tho lol
I enjoyed the buffet at gvr for lunch, then took on the 24 hour pass at caesers. Went to caesers for dinner, Paris the next day for lunch, then Rio for dinner. CP and Wynn are neck and neck for favorite buffets.
Quote: tringlomaneDid CET give a free Buffet of Buffets pass for Veterans' Day? Or did you just decide to eat really good that day?
Oops forgot to mention they gave out free 24 hour passes. Some enterprising young men (probably officers) took the diamond line without getting carded.
Quote: djatcI hate Spin Poker because it's so damn confusing. I usually one line it on dollars if it's the best paying machine but even then I always wish there was a single line game instead because I hate the interface that much.
I've had only one advantage play on spin pokers. It was 10 cent FPJW (100.64) with promotions at the Hotel Nevada in Ely, Nevada. The promotions made it a 2% edge. I very much enjoyed the game. As far as making royals go ( or any other hand for that matter) you can make a 9-way (flopped). 5-way, 3-way, 2-way, or 1-way.
How you make them is dependent, not only on how many royals cards you are initially dealt, but also their position. On a 4-card royal, if you are drawing to the 1st, 2nd, 4th or 5th reel, you will always make a 3-card royal if the royal card appears. If you are drawing to the third reel, you will make either a 2-way or 5-way. If the royal card lands on the top or bottom line you make a 2-way, if the royal card lands on the middle line you will make a 5-way.
With 3-card royals you can make either a 1-way, 2-way, or 3-way, depending on how the cards land. It's the same with 2-card royals but the 3-ways are extremely rare. With a 1-card royal the most you can make is a 1-way.
And when you throw the whole hand away the most you can make is a 1-way royal. I converted this hand in Ely. At the time it was the only way I hadn't made a royal.
All good things have to come to an end. The Ely play ended in 2006. The play had lasted for years, and only myself and a few others knew about it.
Spin poker is a bitch because I was into a play involving royals and because of how the lines are configured, it was tough explaining to a slot tech all the royals I've gotten on a multi-line. It just got to be a pain showing them all the different ways I drew to it.
Update:
I hit 2 more royals within a 24 hour period. Both were for $2k. Starting to accumulate W2-Gs and it's another process that didn't happen on quarters. Not that I'm complaining, but I prefer to hit a big one and worry about taxes. One was a 2 hold which converted, and another was a made flush with an AKJT, and drew to the Q throwing the 8 of hearts away.
Now I'm up to 5 in one week. This has got to be some kind of record.
Quote: PerditionDid they still up charge you for things like Bacchanal or was it all free?
They charged an extra $25 for dinner at Bacchanal, and there was a $10 charge for the seafood buffet at the Rio but I didn't get in since it was closed the night I went in.
Technically a dealt royal?
The win was certainly nice, but the dealt almost seems like a waste to get it on a single-play rather than 50- or 100-play :)
Quote: boymimboTechnically a dealt royal?
Close enough for me. Nice hit! Do you know they might have full-pay pickem for dollars at Seneca Niagara? Assuming the ancient VPFree entry is still true of course. It's hasn't been updated in 3 years. :-\
Quote: AxiomOfChoiceI've only gotten one royal in my life, and it was also dealt, at a $1 progressive machine. Won $5800.

I would still take your dealt royal over mine. 6 penny lines for $240 total, meh.
That's the good news.
The bad news is it was on a $0.05 machine.
The worst news is that she was only playing one credit, because she's just playing the game for the free Corona's. That's right, Vintage Vegas room at The D, baby, they don't care if you're only playing $0.05/hand, free beers, don't know about drinks...
The double-worst news is NO PICTURE!!! She just showed it to me and hit, "Deal," like it was nothing!!!
I'm going to try to get her to bet the full $0.25 today, she did for a while last night, but if you're only playing it for the drinks...she does have the right idea in terms of expected loss and loss per hour, so I'll give her that.

Fantastic.
The one time I hit a royal, I had my camera with me to take a picture.
Now my camera is my lucky charm. I never play VP unless I have a camera with me.
Have a el cheapo phone, no phone camera but have a regular small camera.
Good luck on the challenge tomorrow, depending on Delta to get me there on time to witness.

I should have stopped by mission I was downtown as well. Put in a little play at Fremont since I am staying here and I started with STP bonus triple play, then moved to nsu $1. Ran so good I parlayed $400 to $2 for a bit, then I got this dealt.
Checking in tomorrow. Gonna try the 20 buck trick for an upgrade at checkin.
Did you try it and if so, did it work?

SICK!!!!!
For my part, I have a straight flush on Joker Poker under my belt. I've played about a thousand hands of Loose Deuces this morning:
Natural Royal Flush (3)
5OAK (2)
Straight Flush (3)
I've been dealt three deuces on three hands (two back-to-back!!!), but couldn't convert.

Um not when the machine is positive to begin with...lol And to think if she was betting max, she could have experienced a hand pay!

You mean Wild Royal Flush, right? I would be on Cloud 9 if I could hit my lifetime number of Natural Royals in 1000 hands. The game gradually eats at you without one of the "handpay" hands. Hope you hit one!
And dj, can I have some of your luck please?

Yeah thats what I thought when I saw 3 natural royal flushes. 3 naturals in under 2 hours would be amazingly awesome.
Quote: IbeatyouracesI've had four in 45 minutes.....well three were at once on Spin Poker :-)
It counts. :)

No, she was just playing DW, not Loose Deuces.

Mission, what are your initial thoughts on Vegas. You had mentioned that you didn't think you would be impressed.
Quote: djatcIt's been a while..... yup here is my biggest:
It looks like the $4,000 was credited to your machine. Wasn't there a W2G involved?
