Tonight, something fairly unique happened to me.
I was playing FPDW in Carson. It was a slow machine and I was playing for no more than an hour. Because of the machine speed, I could not have played more than 600 hands.
I hit four deuces. "Cool," I thought.
A short time later, I hit a royal. "Nice," I thought.
Then it hit me.
From my play so far, I only needed a wild royal flush to clear all categories.
13 minutes later, it happened.
Within an hour, I won every single win category in deuces wild.
Reflecting on this most excellent achievement, I believe Deuces is the game most likely for this to happen. Bonus games are out, obviously, and JoB has a SF with odds of 9000 games, give or take. The SF equivalent in deuces - 4 wilds - is between 4000 to 5000 games if my memory serves.
On the other hand, the cycle for a royal is much larger (~10000 games or so) on DW so maybe it's not so much of an advantage.
And yes, I have photographic proof.
That's all, just a brag post. I'm at the bar celebrating my achievement.

[vpFREE] Re: general manager's club
virtually nothing is playable at harrah's NKC.
they do have two banks of $1 short pay multi-game progressives that often go positive. one bank offers progressive suited royals. they also have two banks of 25 cent short pay DDB progressives, one with progressive quads, which occasionally go positive.
other than those, nothing much of note.
funny thing is, they like to tout this photo of a local 20K royal winner from last year (or maybe the year before). you see the photo in a couple of advertisements around the property. if you look closely, you can clearly see the royal was on a 9/6 jacks machine... which doesn't exist in the casino anymore, at any denomination.

Maybe he shortened it too much.
It could have been:
Bartop_v_p
It might work. It would certainly be better than my grandfather's name. When
he came here from the old country, he shortened it from
Bartoparinolatovaroupolousky. That would not have worked.

If that doesn't bring them in, you might have to go with Bob Bartop's
Topless Bar and Bartops.

My last post wasn't meant to be offensive to Bob. By the way my gf enjoys playing at the bar and I happen not to.

Have to cater to a bigger crowd than poker addicts I guess.

I was in Vegas last week and sat in the parking lot of Aliante Station the whole hour, listening to the show.
By the way, I'm not sure what time it was, but the next day in the afternoon sometime, I still had my car's radio dial tuned to that station and when I started up my car, there was the voice of Bob and Frank! So to those who do not have a computer, (and I don't know why I would be writing this to you on the internet), apparently they have a re-broadcast of the show the following day. Is that correct, Frank?
