Which game caused Bob Dancer to lose 27K in one day?

In Bob Dancer’s recent blog, he mentioned he played a so-called advantage slot game but he lost 27K after playing it for 18 hours like a dummy.

I’m wondering which game sucked his mind and money…

Personal insult. Three days. Bob Dancer is a member here.

However, I'd be interested too. Can anyone link to the story?

Losing $27k in a day is much less than I would think his worst day would be. The stakes he played gave such high variance and volatility.

I had my stop loss at $10k per day and I didn't play the high denomination games Bob played.

Is there a way to reverse Sza's Suspension? It seems he didn't KNOW that Bob Dancer is a Member here. Heck, even I didn't know Bob Dancer was a Member here until your post. 💡 I remember someone on here saying an insulting thing about Slot Lady , a Member in Good Standing and getting a Suspension for insulting her. Slot Lady hadn't visited in about FOUR YEARS when the Poster made the insulting post about her. I think that Poster didn't even KNOW she was EVER a Member on here. 💡

My guess is that it is likely some game with a terrible base schedule but with a lucrative progressive. There have been a few times here when people have talked about similar games. Like the sequential Royal game that was something like 92% payback if you exclude the sequential Royal but like 107% when accounting for the sequential Royal.

Personally, I’ve been down over $200 (maybe $300) on quarter 10/7 double bonus. It’s nominally positive EV. Being down $300 is 240 units. If you’re playing that at a $100 denom, you get to $24,000 loss. I may be doing the math wrong somewhere but I’m also surprised BD didn’t have much bigger swings. Maybe he meant most amount down that he walked away from (not interim session low before coming back)? In any case sounds like an interesting story.

My question is why is Bob Dancer taking on so much risk in his retirement? I imagine he can’t easily make 27k back at his age. RIP.
Yikes, as of July 1 this year it appears he’s down 150k for the year from video poker alone (source Las Vegas Advisor). I hope it’s just a case of bad variance. That’s a lot of money!

Bob lost the money playing slots not video poker. He now plays advantage slots.

Here is the article: https://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/blog/what-it-takes-to-lose/

He played for 18 hours, and other players definitely saw him.

Given what he said in the blog, my guess he could be trapped by this one - Raise the Sails (https://ggbmagazine.com/article/raise-the-sails/)

This screenshot is for demonstration's purpose. He could be chasing the Gold progressive. Just my guess.
