Last Thursday at the Hollywood Casino in Lawrencburg, Indiana, I had the unexpected. 2 Royals on the same machine playing the same game, $ 2 DDB. It seemed like fate. I had played QQ DDB for about 5 hours and still lost even though I hit 21 DDB QQ and 5 natural quads. The problem was none of the quads were worth more than 400 credits. I took a break and went to have dinner with wife.
After dinner went back to bank of machines by the $ 1 progressive to play. After playing two hundred $ dollars through the first machine in bank, I couldn't get the machine to take any more money. So I moved to the second machine and the same thing happened. It wouldn't take my money. I then moved to third machine and still no luck. So I moved to machine number 4 where I lost a great deal of money the previous Saturday to play. After playing for about an half hour, I hit 4 threes and then shortly thereafter I am dealt the king - jack of clubs. I hit the deal button and low and behold the other three pop up for a $ 8000 royal. I still have about 500 credits and continued to play.
About 45 minutes later I am dealt the Ace, King, Queen of spades and the King of Diamonds. It goes through my mind that I can't hit another Royal that soon so I hold the pair of Kings and the ten, jack of spades pop up. I am devastated to say the least. Now I don't whether I would have hit the deal button at exactly the same time, but the way I hit the hold cards it is possible. I now proceed to play through all the remaining credits.
I almost quit but decide to put another two hundred in the machine. After a few plays I hit another set of quads and thought about quitting again but what the heck let's see what happens. A few hands later I am dealt the jack, queen and king of hearts, jack of diamonds and a nothing card. Again, it goes through my mind about hitting a Royal already, but I hold the hearts and the Ace - Ten of hearts fill in for another $ 8000 Royal. After getting hand play and playing another 15 minutes, I hit 4 Aces - no kicker. Somebody above had to be looking out for me. Fate!!!!! All hits were on the same machine playing DDB.
It was time to go home.
