I hit a $3000 royal flush on a 50 cent pick'em machine at Casino
Niagara in Canada this past weekend. I would have posted a picture
but the casino wouldn't let me take one. They take photos of
jackpots on their own Polaroid camera. The video poker screen didn't
show up on the Polaroid.
I did manage to take a photo of my $3000 in Canadian cash back at the
hotel. It looks like Monopoly money but the Canadian dollar is at an
all time high. I got even money on the exchange rate back to U.S. if
I had waited until Monday (I had to go back Sunday) I would have made
an extra $100 on the exchange rate because the Canadian dollar
reached a 47 year high against the U.S. dollar on Monday.
Anyway, the Canadian casinos are some of the last bastions of Pick'em
poker. I don't think the Pick'em full pay machines at Casino Niagara
are going anywhere soon. There are several banks of $1 and 50 cent
full pay pick'em there. However when I was there on Saturday hardly
anybody was playing them. Casino Niagara also offers .50% cash back
so all of you in Las Vegas should go there and raid the place. Just
ignore the cold weather.
