Last weekend at the Showboat, I was playing a $1 triple play DDB and hit 4 aces and a kicker on the bottom hand for 2K and a full house on the top. Of course I hit that the first night and after giving the wife a bit, lost almost all of it back the next two nights.

Nice $1 Royal on the Treasure Chest poker. Hands down my fav VP game and only found in MSS. Cal and Fremont. By the pic I assume the MSS.

I was having no luck at the Blackjack tables this weekend at the MGM Grand Detroit. Had one awful hand where I ended up splitting 2s into four hands, doubling down two of them against a dealer 6. Dealer pulled a 21 out of his ass and I lost all 6 bets. I decided that I was done with BJ for the day and dumped my last $100 into a video poker machine. Paytables at the MGM Grand Detroit suck, so I went with the least-sucky-but-still-pretty-damn-bad White Hot Aces.
After only a few hands I was dealt this beauty, for a cool $600:

I know, I wasn't in the mood to leave MGM for one of them.
I was basically in the "Fuck it, I'm throwing this last $100 away so I can get outta here" stage by the time I started playing VP.

Nice hit. Triple Bonus Plus is the game I'll short play at CET casinos in Vegas when I want comped beer at the bar (pays better than 8/5 DDB), and like MGM Grand Detroit apparently, 7/5 TB+ is one of the better games they offer. :( It's also the best game in my hometown at 9/5 (but they only have one working machine of it). Got a dealt steel wheel on it once at Gustav's Bar at Paris, but have yet to hit Aces, 2s, 3s, or 4s playing on it yet though. Bah.

Here are the highlights from my trip to Vegas on 2/27 - 3/6.
Main Street Station 100.17% DB 4 Aces @ 800 credits
Palms 100.76% DW 4 deuces @ 1000 credits
Main Street Station 100.17% DB 4 aces @ 800 credits
Gold Coast 99.82% STP JoB dealt straight with 10x multiplier @ 1000 credits
Rio 99.17% BP 4 aces @ 400 credits
Palms 99.54% JoB and my only Royal... 5525 credits
I had 19 opportunities with 4 to a Royal on quarter machines. Twice with 5 play STP JoB, once with 3 play STP JoB, and 6 times with single line games. I had 3 opportunities at the dollar level. In the end, my only Royal was on the 50 play 2 cent game that I played for about 3 minutes at the Palms.

Nice hit, when holding a pat hand like 4 of a kind and there is no possibility for improving it (kicker) I say always hold all 5 cards. I've never seen it but have heard of a 5th of the kind coming up and voiding the hand due to malfunction. Just a tip I picked up along the way.

Looks something like a Royal Aces game. If so, not as fun to play as it might look. Ace pair is lowest paying hand, so you go through quite a few hands getting nothing back. No wilds, so no relief with easy 3 of a kind.
But yeah, massive payoff when you hit something big.

I see that 2 pair of jacks pays 30. So is that 3x pay multiplier that was hit? But 4 aces with no kicker on double double 3x should be 2400 not 4800. That's why I was thinking some version of Royal aces in a DD format.
edit, guess it is probably 6x 2 pair pays 5.

It looks to me to be a 10/6 Double Double with a 30 coin bet per hand. I have never seen 10/6 DBL DBL in a multi-hand format.

After looking again, I agree that it is "plain old" 30-coin 10/6 DDB. I initially thought it was Double Super Times Pay with a 3x+3x=6x multiplier based solely on the prizes, but there's no multiplier logo on the left of the decision hand so it can't be (plus, each hand indicates a 30-coin bet on them).

Quote: IbeatyouracesMost likely a penny or nickle game.
I'm guessing pennies, since anything higher (even 2¢) would have triggered a handpay, and it doesn't appear that the outcome was a handpay. However, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. For example, the photo could have been taken in between the display of "JACKPOT! $x,xxx" and "CALL ATTENDANT".

One apparently exists in the US for dimes. But its 40/10/6 = 99.96%.
http://www.vpfree2.com/casino/santa-ysabel
Also the hero in the picture was playing on a 40/10/6 99.96% DDB machine because he took an anticipatory shot of the machine that was wider out.
It was a penny Euro machine. He won 624 Euros ~ $811.
Had some interesting things happen tonight. Played the highest nickel Super Times Pay game I have ever found, 9/5 JoB (98.72%), and for the first time ever I saw a "neighbor" hit a Royal for $1000 on the other STP machine. At least my Royals still outnumber my neighbors'. :)
And not as exciting as his win, but I hit my first Class III slot "jackpot" ever tonight, only other one was on a Class II game ("Texas Tea"). To me "jackpot" = highest line win possible or better. This game was called "Goosin' Around" by WMS. You can't see the win because it was a free spin on a bonus game, but that fox in the bottom right corner, I got 5 of them for $50.

Hello, the classic long time lurker first time poster here!
These aces were hit by me in Casino Helsinki in Helsinki about three years ago. It was indeed 40/10/6 DDB one euro cent machine with 3 € max bet. But it has been MIA long ago, so no need to contact your travel agency. Last good VP - FP Pick'em - was removed just days ago so now we have only one progressive group, which is sometimes playable.
Royals! (and aces with kicker...)!

It's not really a jackpot, but it's my biggest hit of the year at a brand new casino to me (Four Winds in Michigan) and every one likes pictures right?
Also played 9/6 JoB with STP at Blue Chip in Indiana and hit that for a small $30 profit. Had a 1 in 1081 shot at $8k, but couldn't get there, obv. :(
Hopefully I can keep this up for Tunica next week!

Enjoyed the pictures. Hope to post a jackpot win in the form of a winning sports bet ticket and a stack of 100's. Not much chance of me hitting a machine jackpot as I'm not a big machine gambler.

Yep, it's multi-strike poker. 80 credits is max bet (4 x 20). 800 x 20 x 4 = 64,000 x .05 = $3,200. That was in January of this year.
mickeycrimm was talking about the bank of DW at the Peppermill. I was staying there for work 2 summers ago and didn't believe my eyes when i say this machine. I think there was only two in the group.
2.49% Player advantage (but of course you gotta hammer the machine until you get the deuces), but even without the Royal, it was still +EV. I think I hit this on my 2nd $100.
