I was at Rincon Saturday sitting next to an older gentleman who was
playing
5 coins a time in a $5 single line Jacks or Better game. After playing
for
at least a half hour he was down to $5 in the machine. Instead of
cashing
out he played the $5. He drew a royal. The machine didn't freeze up
and as
the man sat there stunned another player had to remind him to hold the
five
cards before pressing the draw button. His only statement, "Hey, I won
$1,250."

That hurts. I did that once and felt like the world's biggest fool,
hated
to even collect I felt like such a jerk. Yes, !,250 is 1,250 but we
all know
"play max coins, play max coins" and this is exactly why. It was also at
Rincon on a $5 single line but it was about 5 years ago.
Sadly, I admit to doing the same thing. One coin on a $5 machine,
dealt four to the royal and drew the fifth. I know the feeling of
stupidity which was made much worse as the machine locked up (over
$1199) and the music started playing. When the other players hear
the music they naturally look over to see what you hit. I wanted to
hide my face as I play at this casino every week and a lot of people
know me. Had to sit there and bear the stares and shaking heads as the
music plays the whole while they are doing the payoff Oh yeah, forgot
to mention that the casino was............Ta Dah...........Rincon.
