I went to the Soaring Eagle last night with a friend of mine. We went to the Slot Parlor instead of the main casino to play some 50 play Double Double bonus. I played 50 hands at the 5 cent level for quite awhile and my friend played 50 hands at the 25 cent level. Yes, he was betting $62.50 per hand. In 4 hours, he put on over 50,000 points on his card. I estimate that he played over 20,000 hands and not once was he dealt 4 to the Royal on the first hand nor did he get a Royal in any of those hands. He only hit the 4 Aces with the kicker twice His initial investment was $200 which he did end up losing, but we had fun. I ended up losing about $150 for the night and just before we left, he plays a $10 for $20 a spin and ends up winning all his money back plus $150. He is so lucky that way.
