He said $220. The unit is a microbitcoin.

Soaring Eagle has 9/6 JoB for nickels, and at the bar no less!

Sounds like my new home! Lol. Didn't that place used to have 40/10/6 DDB at the bars too?

I'm surprised you didn't play at the Palms, they have 1c 100 play 9/6 jacks. They used to be by the food court and now they moved them by the sportsbook. I don't think they have any minimum amount of hands you have to play like Cosmo. I just recently went there and found you have to play a minimum amount of hands on their 9/6 jacks 100 play machines.
I really like the "just" off-strip properties. The Rio has the best CET VP in town, Gold Coast has PPP and NSU, and the Palms has 9/6 and FPDW. Both times I came to Vegas on vacation I hung out there pretty much the entire time.

They did. The back left bar past the steak house. They were quarters though. Haven't been there in a long while though.

A little bit, it's usually stable enough on timescales of days where I deposit, gamble, and withdraw so it's never been an issue. If you gamble more than just a few dollars a hand, then any change in btc value will almost certainly be well within the noise of what you care about unless you hold on to it for months or more.
This casino generally has some of the best paytables for games (e.g., 1/4/6/30/40/50 on pair plus for 3CP) with a huge betting spread available (you can bet anywhere from 1 micro-btc to 2 btc per hand on table poker, same paytable either way...1 btc currently ~$240 USD), and deposits/withdraws are infinitely better than traditional online casinos, so if you like the online scene I'd recommend it.

Palms is okay, but I'm pretty lazy. The lady also cares less for palms. We haven't been there in a long time. And if I would bother to make it to palms, I'd end up playing fpdw anyway. Also spot the hooker at Cosmo is also pretty fun. Lol. Plus one of the two penny units don't have the min bet requirement.

Thanks for the info! Given my previous history of online poker addiction, probably should stay away, tbh.

Nice hit! I must be dense...why do you have to bet six coins per hand?
Was playing some $0.25 10-play 9/6 JOB. I was up a bit, just cruising, whatever. Playing maybe 15 minutes or so. Switched to DDB for 5 or 10 minutes. Not up or down too much. Switch back to JOB, and said to myself "And now I'm going to get dealt four aces!" 5 maybe 10 minutes goes by, and sure enough, dealt 4 aces [no kicker]. Discarded the 5th card and hit 4 kickers. Except this is on JOB [kickers mean nothing]. Two of the hands got a kicker.
JOB = $312.50
DDB = $2,600
Would'a been nice, but, whatever. Playing JOB was/is the smarter play -- so I'm fine with the result. It'd a hurt if playing DDB was the right choice and JOB was the bad choice (ie: If BP or DDB was the smart play, but I was playing DW instead and got dealt 4oak [not deuces].).

wrong thread :)
there's a thread 'Almost a Royal'
"got dealt" Usually means the first 5 cards were dealt the hand you are referring to.Quote: cmc0605Just got dealt my second "bitcoin casino" Royal(!), this time on Bonus poker rather than deuces... this one almost $300 worth.
Good luck.

Fair enough...but same payout here so I'll take either ;-)
Does that casino offer bonuses? Looks like a 99%++, game your only giving up 25 coins per each 5-k you hit (approx 620 hands) compared to regular 10/7 db. you get an extra 50 coins on the stf(big deal).Quote: cmc0605Quote: AxelWolf"got dealt" Usually means the first 5 cards were dealt the hand you are referring to.Quote: cmc0605Just got dealt my second "bitcoin casino" Royal(!), this time on Bonus poker rather than deuces... this one almost $300 worth.

Thanks, no bonuses or comps here, it's about the least fancy platform you can get, but I like the betting flexibility (a spread of 1 micro-btc, to many btc, depending on the game, where 1 btc is about $230 right now)...and it offers some of the best paytables for whatever games you encounter, e.g.,if you like 3CP you get the 1/4/6/30/40/50 PP, etc. The deuces wild paytable is a few pages back on this thread, where I hit my other natural royal.
If you like BC casinos. look around, I seen a few that did offer some +EV bonuses. Back when BC was about $400, I estimated 1 particular casino was worth $340 in value. I had to much on my plate to give it a go, but i did see plenty of opportunities. There was even a sports betting bonus opportunity where you could've locked up money. $100 in value with some effort. I wasn't enthusiastic about making $100 for the amount of effort.Quote: cmc0605Quote: AxelWolfDoes that casino offer bonuses?

I'm willing to work with someone who's interested however(come up with a good deal). There's multiple opportunities. I enjoy finding them, but I really dislike the tedious work of reading T&C's then setting up accounts.
If they want Fax back forms that really drives me nuts.
First he tells me he's going to get the royal and says "it's like when lebron James is in the zone, you can just feel it." About every five minutes he turns to me and tells me to quit wasting my money bc he's getting the royal. Sure enough, the jerk got the royal and starts going around the bar pretty much yelling at people. It was pretty crazy.
Quote: mcallister3200Well I didn't get a dealt royal, but don't want to start a new thread and seems appropriate enough. I got trash talked by some drunk guy playing a royal progressive a couple days ago (I was there bc quads and straight flush were both 2x or more reset)

Ugh. But idiots like that are why good paytables can still exist.
OUCH!! x2 Bad pay table and 4 coins. 1 more coin =$750 more.Quote: guitarfreek15My friend hit this the other night. Unfortunately he was low-rolling on his free play, which he usually plays at 2-4 credits, so he never got to 5 coins.
Nowadays, I will pull whatever uneven amount I have left than play it off, if a max play is going to make a difference.
Oops, I have two. But the second one was an error. I put money in a machine but hadn't realized the last hand I played was 5 coins because I had ended with an uneven amount and continued to play by hitting draw. The machine stayed playing 5 instead of 10 when I put more money in and I failed to notice I was playing at 5 coins when I hit a royal a little later.
Pissed me off, but it was my fault.
Quote: IbeatyouracesA 1 coin royal is bad but a 4 coin one had got to be like a kick in the nuts and stabbed in the eyes at the same time!
2 coin Megabucks is the worst of all.
(I was trying to find a pic online, couldn't find one. If it happened someone was too ashamed or upset, or jumped off a bridge without posting one.)
Quote: guitarfreek15Also, I was told by a family member who used to program video poker machines that basically if you hit something on 4 coins, you would not have hit the same hand on any of the other coin options, because it's a different set of random numbers. Something about how each coin line is treated as its own game. Does anyone know if that is generally true? At what point is you hand "determined?"
Your cards are determined the exact moment you hit the deal and the draw button. It's just a random deck being spit out at you at all times. So yes, for this one royal, he likely wouldn't have got it betting some other amount that day because his timing would have been changed betting max. But your percent return is better overall betting max, because the odds of a dealt royal are always the same (1 in 649,740), but you get paid 4000 for 5 betting max, upping your percent return.
And yeah, that deuces paytable isn't great, but at least it's better than the 25/16/13/4/3/2/2 game that floods many casinos at the quarter level now.

16/13 paytable is great when you hit 5oak with multipler :)

Is it? I had this one recently and still managed to have a bad day.
ok.. maybe I should have said in all deuces wild paytables?

im just going by the Wiz's vp cheat sheet which lists various paytables for the popular vp games.
it doesn't list a 17/10 dw.
what's the return on your 17/10 dw game?

Quote: Ibeatyouraces
My partner has this strange view, that when a royal or 4 aces is dealt to him, that it deprives him of the excitement of hitting it on the draw. :/ (Funny, he didn't feel that way when he was 'dealt' a royal on a 50 play machine back in the spring. lol)
You doubled up, right? =P What else did you hit to get up to $4800?Quote: djatcNot a royal but a pretty damn good hit

Nice hit! But did you forget we have a "Not Quite a Royal" thread? :)

Very nice.
djatc is moving on up. I remember him as a quarter $1.25 player, now he is playing $125 a spin.
Quote: RomesYou doubled up, right? =P What else did you hit to get up to $4800?
Funny story I didn't even know there was double up on this game until I looked back after I was on my phone. Since it's a taxable I assumed the game would just lock up but it didn't.
I didn't double up. The 4 aces pays $4000, and the other pays were $200.
