My most memorable hit? It was online, in my bedroom. I played a $100 for $100 match bonus, and was down to my last $23. I had been playing 4-lined JoB for 25-cents, so it was do or die time. I jacked up the denom to $1, essentially my last hand. BAM! Pat royal, times 4. Woohoo! Took a moment to register in my brain. I'm thinking, oh great, $4000, because I had been playing for quarters. I look at the balance, oh wait a minute, it says $16000. Holy crapsicle! I start yelling, and my big dog comes running in to see what my problem is. And I'm afraid she is going to knock the wires out of the computer and I haven't even set the hand. Anyway, all turned out ok, and I got paid. lol This was over ten years ago, in online gambling's prime, before they passed the so-called "port security act" and ruined everything. After that, I had to get dressed every day and go outside.

My most memorable, was a Royal on 6 coin quarter progressive. Bank of 12. I started playing
about 6:30 am, getting an early start before local teams showed. This is so far back the machines
only took quarters. My plan, start packing quarters in a machine. Plopping a jacket on next
machine and coining up next door machine for my wife, who was taking her time getting ready.
She really didn't want to play that early. I played for about 1 hour. The "pros" were just coming
in and setting $200 cans of quarters on machines and playing briskly. Just as my wife rounded
corner the royal popped up for me. $6043.00. That hit me just right. Once the jackpot hit,
all 11 machines started spitting quarters in hole in flat top. Players finding buckets to take .25
to cashier. All those regular locals, as should be, don't spend one cent more if not advantage play.
Since I wasn't part of gang some players actually expressed anger when they missed hit.
Physically slamming around showing anger. So distasteful, pros who can't take the heat.
That was memorable ...... Jeep
