No one's put a play on here in ages

#1

There's an example of the difference in mindsets of a guy who isn't (I presume) in a slump versus one who is. I wouldn't even have considered doing this: I can't remember the last time I got four ducks! Keying a coupon to getting them would have made me bonkers.

for example, as I first almost did!!!!

My strategy was different. I just played $2 Five Play NSU until I hit
deuces and then used the coupon.

I was talking Five Play, here. You get ducks every two hours or so on
that game. And I need to play a certain amount anyway to keep my mailers
coming. I usually play on bigger machines, but to play on a $2 Five Play
machine until I got the jackpot seemed a logical thing to do. I
considered Brian's play of $2 single play. It has merit, assuming you
stop your play as soon as you get a quad. For the mailers I want, they
just aren't available for 100%-game players.

I'm behind in 2006 so for, but 2005 was my second best year ever. But my
year-to-date score has NOTHING to do with how I would play that coupon.

The fine print on the coupon I used said it was only good on the
bottom line of multi-play machines. Are they neglecting to enforce
that?

    I no longer have my coupon (Shirley went around to all the
neighbors, but apparently they were scarce in our neighborhood) so I
can't confirm what the coupon says, but my deuces were not on the bottom
line.

The fine print says "On multi-hand games winner paid on ONE line only."
(Emphasis mine)

Sorry, Tom, maybe you are slowly getting to the age where you need more eye exams?? :slight_smile: Quoting from the back of the coupon in front of me: "On multi-hand games winner paid on one line only." There is not the usual exclusion for wild-card games either.

If anything needs examined, it's my brain. My eyes have always been
hopeless. It seemed redundant for the coupon to say that a (as in
"1") 4 of a kind would earn a bonus (or I suppose it doesn't even say
that? - this is from memory) and then say that only one line on a
multi-game would qualify. Is that a good enough excuse for taking it
as meaning only the bottom line would qualify?

Hey, Tom, the older I get I have excuses for EVERYTHING - they don't have to be good - just enough to get me by most of the time!
