Someone whom I was taking action on hit for $13,700 or so on his first spin at $100/spin. He kept saying how he's all lucky n shjt, everyone was like yeah okay sure riiiiiiight then he hits a total monster on the first spin.
I didn't know I any of.that, was just taking a cheap break from the tables, but the round bank of about 12 machines was.full of people pounding furiously and fast. Not sure how there was even a chair open, but it must've been +ev. I hate playing for 1x, so I bet 2x on a 20 line machine. Was that Jungle Wild one with native jewelry, animals, and the Mayan pyramids scatter bonus.
So I got the reel 5 symbol and the screen changed to presents, about 40 or 50 per screen, not that i knew why it had changed; didn't notice the special symbol. Got a couple presents, found a star, screen changed, more presents. Got 1 present, found a star. Screen change, 1/2 dozen presents, found a star. Last screen, just found a star.
Screen went blank. People started screaming, cursing, standing up, other people are coming over to the area. I'm thinking my machine broke, trying to decide if I want to start punching.buttons or call the attendant, because my presents money has disappeared along with the rest of my 20. Maybe $12 or so net. Distracted with that rather than aware of what's around me.
I turn to the lady sitting behind me, say what happened, she says you won. Thinking she's talking about my lost bonus money, I say yeah, but the game broke. She says, no, look up. 6 feet above.my head is this riot of a bank cap with neon and big screens all going ballistic, music and firework animations, and big money with an arrow pointing at me. Major d'oh! on my part. But I sure enjoyed the money. Total ploppy win, blundering into it.
On VP $10 K - We do one $250 play on video poker each trip - if anybody hits something taxable they pay 10% to the others - these are five dollar machines 10 handed – I had aces with the kicker once – paid my two buddies a grand each but still kept over half after I went ahead took the taxes out - that was a treasure Island and you can no longer bet $250 a hand there so now we usually do the $125 plays.
I did have a one dollar VP progressive once for 9100 which was all mine.
Early seventies, I was sixteen years old.
Driving to CA to look for older brother that Highway Patrol reported might be dead.
Got just inside a casino in Vegas, dropped a dime ($0.10) in a machine that paid me 2 dimes ($0.20).
Then they threw me out. Haven't played a slot since.
Got a lead on Bro from some girl's dorm U of Cal, Santa Cruz. Down the coastal hwy, is that Hwy #1? Lovely drive, at least in 1971. Found him very alive and happy in a commune in LA.
Swam his ashes out to sea a couple years ago on/off Kauai. Kapaa. Forget the name of the beach. He went by the name Chubasco back in the seventies. I have an odd family. Four of his sons, and a daughter, now scattered around the world (4 mothers for the five kids) joined me for the quasi traditional Hawaiian ceremony/party. Ghandarva, Pueo, Kuau, River, and Jade. Big surf, thought I might drown. Didn't.
Prolly should have never walked back into a casino. I was a winner on my first visit ;-!

Quote: djatcWhatid like to knowmoew is who had the highest non progressive win ratio relative to bet. Winning $2000 is sweeter at $1 a pull than $100 a pull.
I won $924 on the Walking Dead for a .75 pull.
$5 bet, $8400 bonus.
$5 bet, $9100 bonus.
Same guy, same machine within less than a week. How did I see it both times? Because it was a $10,000 must hit machine we were watching.
Your free game bonus can be either 2X or 8X (9:1 ratio I'd say). On 8X, 5 horses with a wild substitute pays $8000. On the larger win he said he hit 5 horses and 5 aces with wilds on the same spin on the diagonal lines for $8800. After the 2nd win he was happy to give up the machine even though it was still worth $3000+ to play it out.
Quote: RSI hit for $1300 once on a $1 5-line 1 credit per line (i.e.: $5/spin) slot when I was testing it. Got absolutely wrecked on it (not me, someone else) for like $9k later on when we decided to max bet it.

That's really not all that great. It's only roughly 130 times his bet. Sure $13,000 is a year of pay for a lot of people, but proportion to his bet, it is a decent hit, not an extraordinary hit. A REALLY good payoff would have been $33,000. That would have been 330 times his bet which would have been phenomenal.
That's called player hating. You go out somewhere and win $13,701, then say it's easy.Quote: NathanThat's really not all that great. It's only roughly 130 times his bet.

I didn't mean to come across as player hating. I just was pointing out that $13,701 while a really good amount to win is only just roughly 130 times his bet on a $100 bet.
It reminds me of a YouTube video where two friends were betting $180 on a Queen Of The Nile machine. They won $10,000 in a bonus and were saying something like "$10,000 win! What a disgusting load of crap!" Posters were saying stuff like "LOL. They won $10,000 and are disgusted! WTF? " A more reasonable poster said,"Though a $10,000 win is a lot of money, they only won roughly 56 times their bet. I can understand why they are disgusted."
They need to include that to the list of have you ever GA questions.
I came across some guy on youtube with many vids purporting to show him betting huge and winning huge on slots, day after day.
Funny thing though: he never allows the camera to see the denomination / bet amount number on the machine, so you don't know whether in fact each bet is a penny, or in units of $100 each as he claims.
Funny stuff!
That guy is spamming YouTube to promote his website. It's obviously fake. Fake thumbnails say it all.Quote: MrVFunny the lengths some people will go through in order to try to impress others.

Yeah, here's one. He's playing an app on his computer.

Wouldn't the fact that he claims he's betting many thousands per spin and every win should lock up be obvious?Quote: onenickelmiracleThat guy is spamming YouTube to promote his website. It's obviously fake. Fake thumbnails say it all.
I assumed he was pretending to be playing online, so locking up might not be a thing online. I've never played a penny online, so wouldn't even know.Quote: AxelWolfWouldn't the fact that he claims he's betting many thousands per spin and every win should lock up be obvious?

Don't be ashamed. I know someone who hooked a roku up to a gigantic HD TV just so she could YouTube slot porn on the big screen ;) Like they say "It's cheaper to watch."

I must add that the reasonable poster also pointed out that the friends on that machine could have lost $40,000 for all we know before they got the $10,000 win. I tried to edit my post to include this, but I was not able to edit it.

I mention watching one slot video and all of a sudden I am a gambling addict? That's a huge leap.

This appears to be 9/6 TDB, so it is short pay on the flush.

Still, it is a nice game to get Aces with a kicker if you don't play much $5 VP.

Yes, 98.15% return which is about the best return Choctaw offers, although they have a $1 9/6 JoB with a progressive!
I play very little $5 VP and in fact before that night, had never even hit quads on $5 video poker. 10 min before this hand, I hit quad 5s. Feel like I never need to play $5 vp again!
