I went to the casino today to play what I thought I had $10 in free play and was willing to lose up to $100. Put the card into the machine and well $0 freeplay. That sucked and I had to use my own money. First machine was 4x5x6x times play machine. I put $20 into it and ended up going up and down and hit 10 credits on 2 credits per spin 3 times. I ended up cashing out at $20 after hitting the last 10 credits . I took the TITO put it in my wallet. Went to the other 4x5x6x times pay machine put $20 in. Not sure what happend. I think I hit 10 credits once then I hit bar bar bar for 20 credits and ended up putting the tito for $40 into my wallet. Then I looked at the game I like the most. The Triple Red Hot 7's and then looked over 2 machines down saying Damn there is alot more options for me to hit then just on that thing. I put $20 into the machine hit the button once. I saw The triple and then I saw the blue 7. Then I paused for a minute then looked to the right and saw the other triple. I was like Oh shit. Then the next thought in my head is why isn't this machine making the 'noise' the noise bascially of credits being counted up. The noise is more of a runnnnn runnnn runnnn runnnn.runnnn. The machine froze a good few seconds. I was still frozen trying to figure out what the hell happend. I thought the machine froze on me or something. Then I heard the machine do the jackpot thing. It sounds like dita dita dita dita. etc. I heard that and I knew what had happen. Then I looked to see how much I won.
These damn machines been kicking my ass. The last time I played, I lost like $120-$150 or so and I actually got to play a little. Before that, the 2 times before that. I got my ass just ate up. Nothing more then 10 credits and maybe that 2-3 times if that. The biggest lost I have had in a LONG time was about a week and a half ago. I lost $200 at Horseshoe playing 50C machines. I didn't get 10 credits but under a handful of times. Several machines ate the $20 with 0 credits. Never going back over there. The same day I lost $220 at Eldorado. I sold a macbook pro for $420 profit so I lost all the profit on that 1 laptop. I went to the casino Jan 1st or 2nd. I hit $900 (the biggest hit ever I had on a $1 machine). I have hit $240 one time when I was losing after that and came out $150 ahead. Every other time I have lost. I probably lost $700/$900 on a bad losing streak. I told myself all I want to accomplish was to make the $1 machine go off. A jackpot on that thing and I am done for awhile.
To give you an idea lets take the first jackpot I ever won. It was back a few years ago. I didn't play to play even $0 at the casino after winning money and then losing it all again. I was at the casino 3 hours before I 'broke' down and played. I put $100 into the $5 wheel of fortune 3x4x5x machine at Sams town (which they still have). The last spin 2 credits, I hit $1250. That was the first time every playing a $5 machine. About a $1000 later and 2 years later, I put $220 into the $5 double top dollar game and hit 360 credits or so for $1700. I have probably put $900 into the $5 machine since then and bascially broke even. $500 win once and $400 loss with no bonus once.
Now for the $1 machines. The first $1000 or so I ever played on the $1 machines I bascially lost it all (2004) $500 on wheel of fortune in 30 min with 0 spins. Jump to 2014, I put money into double top dollar machine at endorado and kicked ass on that thing. I went every day for a week and won every day. I amassed around $2200 or so in a week. Then turned around lost it all in 2 weeks after that playing double top dollar etc. Lets cut to the chase. I have probably put $5000-$7000 total into the $1 machine in the past 2 years. The best I ever did was today then $900 on Jan 1st, then 720,600,480,300,240, etc on the 4x5x6x times pay machine. My goal I have been trying to do for the past few months was to get the $1 machine to go off. I have done that so I accomplished what I set out to do.

I was down $80 when I hit that and I walked out. I was playing 25c machines and lost about $480. I put $20 into this machine hit on the 3rd spin and walked out.
The question is what is the odds of hitting that 3x 3x 7? Also probably like you guys, I was saying why couldn't I hit like the 3x3x red 7 for $2700 or whatever. Hell I hit what the 5th highest thing possible on the machine? I won $900 and I hit the 4th highest on that machine. When do I get the 1st highest or 2nd highest? I saw a picture with a guy that brought a computer into a shop today. Last time he was at margerittiville, he played the triple strike game. He said he put $100 into it. He played $5 at a time 1 credit. On 3rd credit he hit triple red 7 2 times for $18,000. He has himself in the picture along with the machine so he hit that thing. Why can't I get the big one? I will have to save that because I am damn sure not going to lose this. I know how hard it is to win. It will be toward end of the year before I play several hundred again. I got to finish out my freeplay $10 for the next 4 weeks but not taking more then $40 with me and no cc. My biggest win on freeplay was $260. First push $240 2nd push $10, 3rd push $10 then 0 0. Won $75 on $5 machine with $20 free play on 3rd spin 3x mix matched 7's on triple red hot 7s.
Anyone else hit something and wondered why can't they get the 'good ones?'

If you are enjoying the game, you're already winning.

I'm not convinced that this isn't an entirely made up story.

If you are enjoying the game, you're already winning.

100% risk of ruin

No longer hiring, don’t ask because I won’t hire you either

Guy playing next to me in the high limit room at Spirit Mtn. hit for $15K.
Earlier, on my second pull of the day, I hit for $500; I left, came back later, and on the first pull hit for $200.
Luck happens, and that's why I play.

not sure what that means. I have 3 pictures I took with the machine, 2 of the small $60 hit. So the story is hard to believe? Hell it took me months to get the machines to go off. What about the story is wrong? First pull of first $20 got that? It wasn't the first pull of the night, it was probably the 40-50th pull of the day, the first on that 1 machine. Look on youtube you will see a video of some slot myth busted. he hit red 7 red 7 3x twice and the same exact thing I hit twice also in 2 days. God knows how long it would take me to hit another one. I am not going to even try. I have used krava for a LONG time. Krava is suppose to be K=Kristy rava was suppose to be raba which is rabalais which was a girl in school I liked 20 years ago. If any of you are into porn you might be familar with the krava@ whatever movies made way back in 99. Don't pictures have a time and locator stamp on them? that was taken with a samsung galaxy 5 phone and I had my location thing on. It was eldorado shreveport at around 6:30pm or so. I have posted on here and on the slot fantatics website. I have several post on here showing struggle. Its about time I got something. Isn't wizardofnothing one name?
I wouldn't consider the game boring because most of them I am stressed to hell to play. The penny machines are fun but the % payback aren't anywhere as good as the 3 wheel machines. I wasn't after having fun, I was after $$. If I want fun I would switch to the 25c machines which I can play more of. After taxes and all those losses I have had I probably might come out $200-$300 ahead since my losing streak after the 1st.
Take the JFK slot guy on youtube. He never shows any 'losses' I have told about my losses. So if this story is too good to be true I don't know what to say. I wish I hit that $18K that guy hit. Go back and look at all my post. I only have 1 good one and that was the $900 win around the first when I asked about what are the odds of 777 hit.
Just read the above msg. How many times did I put $100 in the damn $1 machine and only got 3 total hits on that $100 including the small wins I played back? I play max credits every time (except $5 machines which I don't usually play).
The fastest ever hit was the 1st pull of the day for 3x 7 7 on the triple red hot 7's for $240. I haven't ever seen anyone hit pretty high on first few pulls.
Actually not true, I saw someone play the $25 slot machine and I swear either first or 2nd pull he hit $4000. He lost few hundred trying to win again though. I am not sure what he did prior to that. I don't know if that was his first machine he was at or he had been there for hours.

I haven't seen personally anyone win over around a $2700 jackpot. The biggest one I have seen was a 12 times pay. It was 12 times double bar 12 times. 2 credits in the machine $1 machine. I am not sure what that is 144*40 credits I think. ok so that is $5760 or something. I saw someone hit that 3 days earlier for 12x 12x bar for 144*20 then a 3x 3x 777 on triple red hot 7's.
Damn I need to stop talking about this stuff before I want to go back and play. Need to save this win and not play ANY of it back. On the same machine I saw someone hit 3x red 7 red 7 for $900 and was very jealous of it a month or so ago. I actually stepped on some ladies toes by accident looking back at what she got and walking. I am at 310lbs (need to drop 100lbs). I saw someone hit double blue 7 double double blue 7 on the triple strike for a hand pay. It was 8x$200 or something? So I feel I fall into the category of atleast a decent size hit. The 12x pay slot odds are just so high. I have played that twice now. First time with $20 I hit cherry 12x for $98 then next time I played I got $0 on 10 pulls. I did have 12x 12x red 7 all aligned above the payline which pissed me off. That would hit would been like 13K. I can live with what I got. Nothing really else to prove. Money is a bit tight right now and business isn't doing well at all so I need to hold on to money and not do things crazy with it. It might take me 10 more times going to the casino to have another win day and that is just too risky.
