I got a dealt sequential SF on my last LV trip. Anyone know the odds for that offhand?

Congratulations! What a great hand. I have never had a dealt royal but 4 dealt straight flushes.

Ooops. Failed to mention Progressive was at $545.15.

Too bad it was only in nickels! However it was a Progressive with 3x points .5% slot club. The EV was 100.3% today, that is why I was playing it. Dealt AKQJ10 hearts.
This is the one of the only 100+% opportunities in Deadwood, SD. Odds are 77,968,800 to one. But you already knew that!
Truly a once in a lifetime event for me, I am sure.

My wife and I took two friends on the Jewel out of NOL the prior week (Oct 20-27) on a fully paid cruise sponsored by the Paris Casino in LV. It was hosted by Caesars NCL full time cruise consultant/host Josh Cazer, David Hoenemeyer the President of Bally's/ Paris/Planet Hollywood Jim Korona VP Casino Marketing and Exec host at Paris Rudy Paredes. The whole thing was done first class. They allowed and encouraged everyone who had two cruises coming to bring another couple or friends with them also free (no hiding it). They picked up everything but the tips (yes including taxes and port fees), hosted a slot tourney for our group, specialty Steak house dinners with the execs, rooms and trans in NOL. We've gone on a lot of casino cruises with MGM, Palms, Cosmo as well as Caesars and this was as good as the Players Travel cruises through the other places.
We really enjoyed Harrah's NOL a few days before the cruise as it is one of the few CET casino's with 9/6 JOB and 8/5 Bonus and the slots we still like. The Jewel was very nice, especially if you are someone who doesn't like the new 4,000 passenger class of RCL & NCL ships. (We don't mind, this Saturday we are going on the Epic (for our 10th time) with the Cosmopolitan casino group.
One bitter sweet thing was they can now open the casino on the Jewel immediately upon leaving NOL and keep it open all night of the return even though you are not in international waters for 8 hours. They now have a special exemption. The bad side of that is the payouts on the ship are the same as all ships, which is terrible, so you will loose big on the ship if you gamble a lot.
I sure do hope they don't downgrade the remaining good VP and slots in NOL.

I just returned from NOLA and a cruise on the Jewel,might have the worst casino I've ever been in. The food was good and bad,breakfast at the BLUE LAGOON WAS PRETTY GOOD AND THE FISH AND CHIPS WAS GOOD. THE SHIP HAD MORE MOVEMENT THAN ANY OTHER LARGE SHIP IVE BEEN ON,DIDNT BOTHER ME BUT OTHERS WERE.
But seeing as how it was a free cruise except for port charges and taxes I would go again and most likely will as Laughlin is giving away more cruises next month plus Harrahs let me hit a royal on my last day.

Thanks for your response, Dave. It has been years since I devoted much action to video poker until recently, but I remember playing NO Harrah's. These days I consider it something of a sin to waste time in NO gambling. Rather be filling my face with char broiled oysters and crusty bread or seeing a good band.
A few questions about the Jewel... Were you able to draw cash from your ship account which would later be reflected as a regular charge on your credit card?
There's usually not much for me to do on a ship's casino, so I tend to pass time with their tournaments and poker game. I assume they had these? Dealer or electronic table? Rake? It's usually huge.
Good on board entertainment? Good or bad experiences in ports?

The cost per person for NCF and taxes is about $300 for Caribbean from NOla, and from Seattle for Alaska is about $450 per person. Single people only pay once. On top of that add $12 per day per person for gratuities billed at the end of the trip to your room. Also any liquor, shore excursions, gambling, etc are extra. Drinks in the casino are free. I figure the discount with the certificate comes to about a half price cruise.
