I only noticed that after scratching my head over reference to a $.10 machine that reportedly dispensed 40,000 coins ...

I was talking to a math prof pal of mine from OH (hi, TJ!) when he was dealt a r! oyal at the Palms on their 9/6 50 play.  I'm hypersensiti! ve 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 some! one twenty dimes instead of two George Washingtons isn't what I'd call, "friendly."
