Hits@Rio Yesterday, we left the Breakfast buffet, and have 3 hours before our 2 PM "late" checkout, and my wife has free play to work in. We sit down at the 8/5 machines. Bevertainer Crystal, stops to chat with my wife after delivering a coffee, and rubs her machine for good luck as we were not doing so well at the Rio. A little latter my wife was dealt aces ($400) and I drew 1 for a straight flush and picked it up! Sweet, I was thinking we might be sitting pretty. The wife tips Crystal well on her next pass, Another rub of the our machines. I drop $200, I change machines. The wife draws another ace to fill her quad. Sweet! (we do split!) I drop another $200 (my rub is not working) and move back to the 3 play 7/5 BP as the full pay machines are eating my lunch/breakfast. I'm holding my own, my wife comes over, up just under $1k. I asked why she moved and she said that she had her luck there, with 2 quad aces in 45 minutes. She plays 3 play bonus $.25, dealt 3oak Aces and pulls another quad ($100)!!!!! (Another tip, another rub) Wife changes to 5 play BP as she is having a very lucky day, is dealt 1 more 3 oak Aces and gets 2 QUADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All in all, she had 5 quad aces in under 1 hour and 20 minutes. (she actually had trip aces one more time and missed it in the next hour. I had 1 quad the whole time) My best hit this session was on STP 3play $.25 Dueces with a 3x up and a Duece showing, was dealt a straight flush, 195 credits per hand!!!!
VP for winners sez 4 oak Aces in BP every 5106 hands on average.
Sometimes the VP gods are smiling!
