DBL DBL Bonus VP Winning Streak Progression

My new Roku 4 Video Poker game has $0.25, $0.50 and $1 denoms now and I can change between 1 through 5 coins per spin. There's 5 games I could play. The one I've been hooked on the most is Double Double Bonus Poker because of its higher payouts on certain quads, but I do get ripped off on the 2 pair payouts badly. This game has different payouts for the different denoms, so naturally, the higher the denom the higher the payout, at least in most games. That's why I upgrade a denom instead of going to 2 coins on the same denom. I also try to get to 5 coins as fast as possible. I'm only given a $25/day freebie so I'm starting from nothing (it could be equal to a $25/trip free play award at a real casino, but I'd have to play that through first). If I play a little and stretch it out over a few days my balance will rise, but then I start playing at higher denoms and going through $25 much faster. It all depends on how often those quads show up at the higher bet levels. This chart is about winning 5 basic quads ahead (5's through Kings) before moving up a denom. I can't really expect quads to show up often enough to get me to a higher denom that often, but what if they did? I made a chart to show how I'd play it if I were free to play it at a real casino. Unfortunately, I'd probably stop at the $0.50 denom and play 4 coins instead of 5 coins at above $500 so I don't get a hand pay. But on my home Roku 4 VP game, I could be playing $1 denom at 5 coin for any balance above $1,125.
I was watching Slotmassacre videos before making this chart and he just seems to put in 10 hands worth of bets and hoping for a quads, and he has a few rebuys. No telling what happens off camera. So I decided to make my own chart separate from that folly.

Bet	Balance
$0.25 - 1 coin	$25

$0.25 - 5 coin	>$187.50

$1 - 5 coin	>$1,125
$2 - 5 coin	>$2,375
$5 - 5 coin	>$4,875
$10 - 5 coin	>$11,125
$25 - 5 coin	>$23,625
$50 - 5 coin	>$54,875
$100 - 5 coin	>$117,375
Win Goal	$250,000

Press the 4 to Hand Pay on the Bubble machine

The best bubble craps video on YouTube so far— high limit max bet, $20,000 winner! $4000 session - Dicey Craps
$500 limits on the bets.
This session strategy in this video was to limit hand pays to one number that was hitting often which happened to be the number 4, because each hand pay takes 10 minutes out of their day. With a 50 roll turn they collected a handful of hand pays from the number 4. This machine is not like others because others would spit vouchers with a $3,000 credit meter limit and this machine has a $10,000 total betting limit, and a $10 minimum bet. The players do know what betting limits constitute a hand pay on this machine and consistently bet below the amount needed for a hand pay on other numbers. As for their pressing and crazy betting strategy, I would be blocked on their channel for objecting to it since it is not my style whatsoever and it wouldn't be; but it is an exhibition of how to beat the machine once around. I've always eschewed hand pays on Bubble Craps and since the machine I play on has a $400 betting limit it's easier to follow; but doubling up with Place/Buy Bets and Come Bets with max odds is a novel way to make a number pay large at max bets. I could get $400 Buy & $400 Place and $195 Come with $390 Odds on the 4 or 10 for a win of ($1160 with 5% vig on a win for the Buy bet, $1120 on the PB, $390 for the Come bet and $1170 for the odds bet for a total payback of $3840 on a total bet of $1385 for a total win of $2455). Throw a $100 on the hard 4 and there's another $700 profit if it came up.
My experience for just betting on the 10 so far is that it didn't show up for 15 shooters in a row so I quit on that bet.

Horseplay Maligned

https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/slots/29258-slotlady-channel/29/#post953088
All Casino Action Channel host Slot Lady is promoting Horseplay casino that is legal in 18 states including mine. Why would it be legal? All wins pay based on horse race results instead of Bingo results. I don't get it. But I'm reading reviews and there's nothing good to say. Even Mr. Hand Pay is getting slagged for promoting this casino on his channel. Players feel it is a scam, at least from the few reviews. And don't forget the 1.9 stars out of 5.

Sample review:
This app needs to be shutdown. It’s only a matter of time before the crowd leaves. Shame on Mr. Hand pay for even shouting out this app. Complete garbage. I gave this app thousands and only did $10 dollar bets. How ever they bet on horse races is complete crap. Curious to see what the company makes for profit. You are far better going to a local casino and spending your money. I’ll give it to the creator of this by finding a niche in the law to make this accessible to most states. But it won’t last and I doubt they care about that because they will make their money. They aren’t depending on repeat customers. Enough idiots will try this app and line their pockets. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Sample Review 2:
This “casino” makes no sense. You deposit- you buy credits- then they explain it like this

The credits are loading because the race is still running, once the race is completed and results are uploaded your credits will appear in your account. Since the race is already completed, the spinners are revealing your payouts.

When you purchase credits, your bet goes into a pool that is applied to a race that is happening at that time. Once the results are recorded and the wins are determined when you receive your Credits. While playing the spinners, you are gradually revealing the wins from the race your credits were wagered on.

We are legally licensed and monitored in the US.

Since your deposit was used to purchase Credits we are unable to process a refund.

Hi A Hays, I can see the confusion here. Let's try this again. The results of live horse racing drive horseplay games.

We are a unique betting site holding more than 40 patents for a delayed reveal technology. The results of horse racing wagers drive all our game payouts. After the race runs, we convert the payouts into tokens to reveal payouts in fun and exciting games.

There's a wait time to deliver your first wager package as the horses run the race. Thereafter, Horseplay uses an instant play strategy to advance purchase wagers assigned to your account so you no longer wait for the races to complete running. You simply select a wager pack to purchase and play games instantly.

Reminds me of my Roku BJ game that always interrupts with prods to buy more chips for cash when I run out of chips for the day. I'm just buying chips and they cannot be brought to a cage for redemption, they can only be used to play the game. I've never bought chips. I get 500 in free chips a day which most days I lose on this seemingly crooked game of non-stop losing hands. But I could buy a lot more chips and play for longer than 30-60 minutes before running out. For $4.99 I can get another 10,000 in chips. For $0.99 I can reload with another 500 chips.

Horn High 3 & 11 Progression

I tend to throw 5 or 6 yo's in a row at times, but I never bet on them, yet.
18^5 = 1,889,568
18^6 = 34,012,224
If I was betting Horn High 3 & 11 for $6 ($1, $1, $2, $2), I'd double-up my Horn High bets on each hit in a row, until I got to the 5th bet then round it down to $90 instead of $96 and keep doubling until I hit the table max of $300 Horn High 3 & 11 ($50, $50, $100, $100) at a $500 table at the 7th bet in. I'd get $1,250 - $1,300 per hit at max bet without a tax form. If I was playing at a higher limit table, I'd start with a higher base bet instead of stretching out the progression.
The odds of hitting 7 horn numbers in a row are 6^7 = 279,936. But even hitting 6 in a row will net me $1,200+ so those odds are 6^6 = 46,656.
