[vpFREE] Re: are the Santa Fe Station 100%+ slant tops on the level?

 

Thanks for the insightful response. You hit one under what circumstances? You shoveled some change in, sat for 10 minutes, held an A-10 and voila, the rest was filled in? Good data points.

Did you miss the part where I said nobody else hit neither? And this happened on not just one vacation (which would have been bad enough), but the last two. Of course the local player who commented to me didn't know what he was talking about. Yeah right.

"Or so I read on this board"? Thanks for emphatically confirming your knowledge of basic probability and statistics. No of course they couldn't be gaffed. Never happened anywhere before, right?

Re: [vpFREE] are the Santa Fe Station 100%+ slant tops on the level?

 

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.

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?

Re: [vpFREE] are the Santa Fe Station 100%+ slant tops on the level?

I hit a royal on one of them earlier this year. 80K hands is well within
the realm of possibility for a result of no royal. Or so I read on this
board. Gaffed? Gimme a break.

[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?

[vpFREE] Back in Town!

 

Hi Gang:
Team Vee is back in town after an amazing 18-day overseas trip that began
in London (for 2 nights) and then continued on a transatlantic cruise
aboard RCCL's Jewel of the Seas that visited France, Ireland, the Faroe Islands
and Iceland.
We did encounter some bumps along the road as the ship slammed into some
overhead power cables as we entered the port of Klaksvik in the Faroes, then
we had to do an end run to avoid two storm systems in the North Atlantic
(resulting in us bypassing the port of St. John's in Newfoundland). The
final stumbling block came when we had to divert course to rendezvous with a
launch from Halifax to transfer a sick crewman to a land-based hospital.
Quite an adventure, but the sights and sounds were spectacular, especially
in Reykjavik.
I'll be posting a two-part trip report to my web site
(_www.tomthebombpicks.com_ (http://www.tomthebombpicks.com) ) in the next couple of days,
detailing all that went on ... including our adventures in the onboard casino.
Came home to find an interesting Columbus Day weekend offer from Harrah's
AC. It involves a progressive multiplier that gives us 5X points on Friday,
10X on Saturday, 15X on Sunday and 20X on Monday. You must, however, put 50
base points on your card each day to keep the progressive part going.
Still, a very interesting promotion.
We'll be back home at Harrah's this weekend, eager to see our casino
friends again after a long hiatus.
Regards,
CoachVee & Hedy
