Santa Fe is my "home" casino and I love the FBJW slant tops. I play there several time a week and I have had many Royals on them. A friend of mine was playing them a couple of weeks ago (he plays FPDW) and said he had 8 royals so far on them this month. You are having a losing streak - it happens to everyone - going two cycles without a royal may make you think the machines are "gaffed" but that is nonsense.

Subject: [vpFREE] are the Santa Fe Station 100%+ slant tops on the level?
Banged away on these things for 5 days (approximately 80k hands) without a royal. Didn't see anyone else hit one neither. On the 5th day a local player comments "I bet you had much better success on the uprights they got rid of". I paused for a second to recollect and indeed this was the case. So it seems that not only I have observed Royal dry spells with these slant tops. Given the popularity of Joker Poker I also expected these machines to be fully occupied. What's going on here, is it common local knowledge that these things are gaffed?
