Well Rick I know there out there. I have hit one recently. I think the reason you aren't finding them is because:

B: It sounds like you are looking on your own

The secret to finding really high progressives is having a regular scouting schedule shared between you and all your progressive playing partners. The "secret" to playing progressives is teamwork. Hmm...maybe I should write a book about it?

A: You aren't looking far enough afield

Thanks Frank. I think I might have read a book like that by someone with
your initials. If I remember correctly it was a damn good book too. But I
couldn't remember if the good guy won in the end. Lol

Well if it was my book, the "good guy" definitively won, he just wasn't all that happy about it.

I posted a picture of a $4161.25 royal that was hit at Sun Coast. Progressive royals over %4,000 occur often enough. You just have to be in the right place at the right time to find them. I see royals over $4,000 a couple times a year on one of South Point's Bonus Deuces progressive banks and I don't go out of my way to look for them.

I could not find it. There seems to be some duplicates in the photo section. Somewhere along the way, the photo section seems to have gotten a little screwed up.

It is the last photo in the 2011 jackpots album. Let's see if this link works: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vpFREE/photos/album/2108196630/pic/1439780715/view?picmode=&mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=41&count=20&dir=asc

Ok, thank you, Stan, I guess the site wasn't screwed up, it was me that's screwed up. I found it easily now that I followed your link.

I'm looking for my notes, and at the moment I can't find them. But I know I looked at those machines specifically, and I don't remember them even being a 1% meter. Either way, it must have taken forever for that to get to $4100. Were you the lucky guy to hit it? It doesn't sound like it, but I guess you were there or knew the person who did. Woohoo! That's a great hit! For quarters, Wow!

Risk taking is in our DNA. How would you like to face off a Mastadon with nothing but a fricking spear, just to feed yourself and your family. Now that was a REAL gambling game!

For all you Reno players. A friend recently informed me he was going through the Cal-Neva, Reno. He found a $2700 royal for quarters in the bartops of the Keno Bar on the second floor. Best game was 9/7 DB. No one was playing, which I figure is because key players got the boot from the Cal-Neva for underhanded activity.

The information tells me that that bar has the same setup it did several years ago, i.e., a 1.5% royal meter.

FK REPLY: I couldn't agree with you more, risk taking is hard coded in our genes, and passed to us from our risk taking ancestors that lived. But here's the thing, in the example you gave we are assuming about 15,000 years ago when Mastodon's roamed free.

15,000 Years ago

Taking a RISK and succeeding = Feeding your family and surviving

Not taking a RISK = Certain Death

Current Day
Taking a RISK and succeeding = A stuffed head on your wall & 0% chance to date an animal rights activist.

Not taking a RISK = Eating at McDonalds or shopping at Wall-mart

Our genes might be telling us we need to take risks to survive, but they are lying to us. No one has to climb Mt. Everest anymore.

What our ancestors had was true inherent and vital risky situations that had to be overcome for survival. What we have is contrived risk that could be avoided with no penalty.

FPDW has a high convenience factor, they are available 24/7 and you can start and stop whenever you want (plus they have an attractive N0 for people who track that statistic). Progressives and Piggy Bank slots are an entirely different animal, more like game hunting. You are tied into the cycles of the game, you have to spend a lot of time scouting, most of the game you spy will not be worth loading a round and you have to develop a sense of when in the future a game you spy may be big enough to try to take down, and when you spot a potential trophy, you have to stop everything else you're doing and try your best to take it down, only stopping when the game is down. Most players don't even see this aspect of the game, the hunt is rarely on and it's often over so quick there's little evidence that it even occured. So it's standard to hear one person say I'm here all the time and I've never seen that jackpot over 1200 while another person says, that's funny, it gets over 4000 on a regular basis. Neither are lying, they are just looking at a situation from different angles. The game probably does get over 4000, just not that often and when it gets there it doesn't stay around for long. When the big game shows up, the big game hunters also show up seemingly out of nowhere, and just like that the game is down. Sometimes a bartender will tell you stories of the hunt.

OK...OK...you win hands down. I retract my statement about FPDW being a waste of time for everyone. I completely agree with all the good points you made and appreciate you for cluing me in on why people play such things.

I'm really not close to a "normal" VP player. Sorry if my weird viewpoints on things seem condescending. It's almost impossible for me to see things from your POV unless you explain it in such beautiful detail as you did.

P.S. OH and your correction of my German. Haven't used it since age 6.

Hang on a minute (or in German "Ein minuten bitter!")

If it started out as a 97.58% return game, you needed at least $2,200 to make it to break-even. If you were playing when the meter was $2,478.25 you were playing at less than the edge you'd have on 5/9 Deuces 100.76% return.
***************************************************************

NO shit! I hit it because I played it . and wow nobody else knew 9/5 ducks return 100.76% TY very much.
**********************************************************************

And playing regular FPD is not worth anyone's time, unless one makes less than $8 an hour at their regular job.

*****************************************************************
Your comment speaks for it self. But it does show a rare combo of arrogrance and ignorance plus some elitesm so does have vaule

*********************************************************************
Unless there are some major slot club benefits you aren't sharing, you seem to be very happy about having played and hit a progressive you never should have been playing in the first place.

**********************************************************************
LOL , I should not have been playing a 100+% oppurtunity ? really ?
not to mention why i went to play that day. Need to read my post, maybe for the first time?

******************************************************************

Not to mention the strategy changes significantly for a progressive that high. It's unlikely you even had an edge if you were playing non-progressive strategy. If you're going to play that bank in the future, you need to wait for more, and you need to create a progressive strategy for your projected start number.

*********************************************************************
and which i posted and you ignored as did not fit your preconcived notion that you are the one and only one who can some how make a change in strategy to fit the situation. per VP genius I got the changes correct.

Funny i did expect to get some comment on the changes i made on the fly, so far none?

**********************************************************************

I'm sorry if I'm raining on your parade,

*********************************************************************
Naw you are not important, sorry for u if you really think you are
**********************************************************************
but I'm trying to give you good advice on how to make money paying VP...and help you avoid further wastes of your time.

********************************************************************

Since did not read or maybe did not understand most of my post you are not capable of giving good advice . Good advice is based on facts, not ego. But I do agree with you that you are an expert in wasting of time, just got it wrong this time.
**********************************************************************
FK welcome to the group, we really need another self taught proctologist on here.

Telling people that the sky is blue and grass is green and water is wet and expecting us to be in awe is hilarious. but other "experts" have gotten away with it, you are just a little late thats all

It appears you read my original post and didn't read the all the rebuttals and replies myself and others made. I made this original post late at night and did indeed only skim it, making several incorrect assumptions. I have since retracted my statements and conceded the point...and even thanked people for correcting me.

It's probably worth noting that my reason for posting was merely concern that people might be playing progressives a little too low, since $2,478.25 is so much lower than I would consider a play. I think the only quarter progressive I've ever play at that low a number was a FPDW 1% meter at the old Alystra (not sure on spelling) in Henderson. I fixated on what seemed like a low progressive amount (to me) and didn't really take all of what you said in context. You are absolutely correct on this point..and I said as much in previous posts.

Anyway, the important thing to take away from this for me was that it is a good idea to slowly read entire threads, if one feels they might have something to contribute...and when one is tired and merely skimming, it might be better to to only read rather than post.

It's clear from your tone that I upset you. That would never be my intent. I prefer to amuse.

P.S. I thought the sky was purple!

This is a rather bizarre response, Mklpryy24. First of all, you waited almost two weeks to look back at this thread you started. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just weird!

No need to be rude to Frank, by the way. Sure, he has some issues, but we like him anyway. This board was getting pretty dull before Frank came along. Having Frank join us was a BIG plus! So be nice.

By the way, I sent you a personal message asking you about this jackpot you hit, because I thought I knew where it was and wanted to ask you some questions on the side. I never got a reply. It would be nice to hear from you. Don't make me beg.
