I hope that Harry Porter doesn't mind me sharing this story. Years ago, when I was a newbie VP player, he had clued me in to the lone 10/7 DB at Trump Plaza. While he had put in many hours, and had some good runs, he had yet to hit the RF. I believe that he had been through multiple royal cycles, so this was becoming a bit of a quest.
One evening, I had just started what was planned to be a short session, when a real jerk sat next to me, clearly wanting that machine. He did all that he could to run me off - crowding me, elbowing, lighting a stinky cigar, pounding the machine....
Of course, that put me into "camp out" mode. I settled in and did my best to ignore him. After about 45 minutes, I got my first RF on that machine. The jerk was livid, pounding his machine and stomping around as if I had stolen the royal from him.
As soon as the attendant paid me, and turned to walk off....I hit another royal after just one hand! Mr. Jerk became almost apoplectic, and stormed off in a huff.
Icing on the cake: after another hour, I hit a 3rd RF on that same machine! My only triple-header ever. The next morning, I hit my first $2 RF next door at Caesars....one of my best weekends ever! When I ran into Harry later, I was almost sorry to share my good luck story with him, but of course he was as gracious as could be.
