Just got back from an overnight stay at Windsor Casino in Canada.
Had some some really weird luck. Had about a grand bankroll and was
going to play dollar Pick'Em exclusively. But, as I was walking over
to play Pick'Em, I passed a bank of fifty-cent Full House Progressive
machines . This game starts out with a pay schedule of
2000/500/1000/200/125/60/30/25/15/5/5 which computes to a 95.5% game.
UGH!!
I never, ever play this lousy loser and usually just shake my head
in wonder at all the gamblers who do.

So having said all that, I sit down and about ten hands into it I
hold the Jack, Queen, and King of Spades and get dealt the Ten and
Ace for a $2700 payout.

Later, as I'm showing my wife, Dolores, how to play a quarter
9/6/4 DB game which computes out at a not so good 98.1%, I hold the
Ace and Jack of Diamonds and get dealt the Ten, Queen, and King for
another Royal of $1000.

I wouldn't advise anyone to be playing these games on a regular
basis, but what the hell, a few bucks ain't going to hurt anybody.
And remember, luck can visit the smart and the dumb equally.
PS: And please don't be saying I should be banned from this site for
posting this kind of foolishness that will effect the brains of vp
newbies.
