a concise definition.

Clump hunting
I think there may be a problem here. There are several species of
clumps.
A few years back I was playing VP at the Sands in Reno on a progressive
when the individual next to hit the RF. So, I left and walked over to
the Silver Legacy and sat down at one of the old FPDW (when they were
next to the sports area). Within a half hour another individual sat
next to me and, you guessed it, hit a RF.
I think this species is far less coveted by most clump hunters. I think
a good name for it would be the "Babe clump".
Another time at the Reno Hilton I hit a RF and did not have a bill to
tip the attendent. I asked my wife for a $10. In about 45 minutes I hit
another one and had to go over to my wife and ask for anther $10. I
call this the "if looks could kill - clump". Hopefully, someone can
come up with a shorter name.
Naturally, I've been on the other side of the spouse clumping ritual.
The day my wife hit 3 RFs while I lost my *ss. I think of this as
the "that's nice, dear - clump". Again, a little too wordy.
Maybe, othersr can help name these species or describe others that
they've come across.

A couple of months ago at the "Isle" in Iowa, guy behind me gets a
royal dealt to him. Playing 5 play 50c. $10,000. That's the "all
at the same time" clump???

Thank you Dick!
My mother once told me that "any publicity was 'good' publicity as
long as your name was spelled correctly. Thank you for spelling my
name right!
May "my clump" steer clear of you!

No, not a clump...that's an anecdote. Hearing it lightens the hard
work of flogging VP machines, and helps maintain our morale, so
let's hear some more.
I think we all have felt empathy for our fellow gamblers, sharing,
however mildly, in their joy in receiving jackpots. At times, I
admit also to having envied some (the strength of that feeling
usually has been related inversely to my fortunes at the time).
The anecdote I want to relate deals with an instance of my good
fortune, though. The fastest royal I ever received I got on a
quarter JoB machine at the Palace Station, some years ago, in the
good old days before TITOs (I always enjoyed handling coins).
I just had walked in during the early morning hours from some other
place, and I pulled a roll of quarters out of the zippered canvas
bag I used in those days. I was the only person on the bank of
machines, and there was a young woman across the aisle who was the
only person on that bank. I only used half the roll before I got a
royal. The look I got from that young woman was not quite dirty,
but she was quite exasperated, and I was a bit embarrassed, and a
bit sorry for her, because it looked like she had been there for a
while.

Okay, I have some 'Clump Hunting' anecdotes to share.
My 'fastest' clump was at the Fremont. While waiting for a hand-pay for a
$2,000 RF (50cent machines by the bar), I decided to play the next machine
over. I hit a second RF in 10-15 minutes.
My most exciting clump was when I got my very first 1st Place win in a VP
tournament. It was at Sunset Station last year. There were seven RF's
during the tournament, but I beat out the other six players who had RF's.
Later that night, I hit a RF at Stardust.
