I thought DDB was 9-5 in that bank. I had 2967 in the slot tournament which
was 4th in my round. Worthless of course.

You must have missed me, I was pounding away on bonus deluxe
yesterday for a fair chunk of time, too bad it wasn't a point
multiplier day. Several of the other games are close to 99%, like
9/7/5 db and 9/6 ddb. The person next to me was dealt four 4's on ddb
for a nice $500+ hit.Did you play in the slot tournament? I got screwed over by the odd
rules, a fnatastic 5800 score put me in the final round, only to come
up short in the money round...oh well always next time!
