Dear
Mark: I saw an unusual turn of events at the Motor
City Casino (Detroit) last night. A gent was playing
the single line poker video game, $1 to $5 play, and
hit four deuces. The "Call Attendant" prompt
came up. While waiting, he moved to the next machine
and hit four Aces. "Call Attendant" came
up. He moved to the next machine and hit four deuces.
He had three machines with the "Call Attendant"
lined up. Not sure how much he made, but I don't think
I have ever seen anything like that. Pretty cool.
Thought you would have an interest. Tom K.
It's
kind of fun, Tom, when the impossible happens, and
yet, anything is possible no matter how long the odds
are. Using proper basic strategy, you should hit four
deuces approximately once every 5,000 hands. But three?
That's more than cool.
Try
the improbable odds of hitting three consecutive
$4000 royal flushes on three separate machines.
This event happened on Sep 5, 1993, at Scolari's
Food and Drug on Lakeside Court in Reno. The Nevada
Gaming Control Board closed the machines for an
inspection, but found no evidence of tampering.
Oh, and the odds of hitting three royals in a
row are 32.8 trillion to one.
Not as long odds, but as a pit boss I witnessed
on a double-zero roulette table the number 25
coming up four consecutive times. No biggie, what's
2,085,136 to one?
Poker
Go For That Elusive Royal
The frequency of hitting two pair, three of a
kind, full houses or four of a kind when you hold
the low pair more than makes up for always chasing
that elusive royal. Video
Poker That Sweet Edge And How To Find It
Full pay machines are machines that pay out more
for certain winning hands than do other comparable
ones Video
Poker Perfect Strategy Or Not
I strictly play each hand using a printed cheat
sheet based on the perfect strategy for that game,
should I deviate my play? Odds
And Payout Video Poker VS Live Poker
Are the paybacks and odds the same on Table Master's
Three Card Poker video machine as that of playing
on a live game with a live dealer?
