My GF and i live in LV and play weekly.
To get my math degree, I had to sign the "low limit bottom feeder" union card.
Because she's an architect, she's more of a play-to-maximize-comps person.
We're pretty good at acting like we get along.
I've had 2 dealt RFs. One playing a (SADLY NOW REMOVED) Downtown Dueces Wild at the eC. I had to hold all.
One playing 10/7 at MSS. I had to take a nitroglycerin before i realized the machine had locked up by itself. The 5 machine double bank was full and i was even more surprised that NO ONE ELSE was surprised than i had been from the fact that it COULD actually even happen.
My GF had a dealt at GVR on NSUD. People there freaked out. The machine locked.
I still want to believe that the fact that i was not wearing a dress -but she was- had nothing to do with it.
I was talking to a math prof pal of mine from OH (hi, TJ!) when he was dealt a royal at the Palms on their 9/6 50 play. I'm hypersensitive to machine maladies, that's probably how i noticed it flicker just after he hit the initial draw button.
TJ just kept talking to me.
"Uh. You don't get to bitch about never having a royal ever again. For the rest of your life. Ever."
The machine lit up, in the words of Mr. Ice, "like a candle." It locked solid enough that it took three slot mechanics, AND the oldest cocktail waitress on duty, to make it usable again.
That was 10c credit, 50 play. $4000. SO, so much sweeter than the same payout from dollar single play.
Yeah, yeah, "but if you'd played for more..." If you'd played for more, you wouldn't have been dealt that royal and would be suckin' on an empty bottle of Night Train on Ogden today.
There was a significant downside to this hit, though. $4000 is a LOT of dimes. And Ace cab won't ship it "for public safety reasons."
"Big Hoss" in his dually Uber will GLADLY take it. That's the up-side.
The down is you have to hear a lot about all types of spaghetti bowls though. And the looks you get when you slip someone twenty dimes instead of two George Washingtons isn't what I'd call, "friendly."
