    Very nice hits, congratulations!

    That's a new concept for me because I just do whatever the chart tells me. Is your strategy intended to improve upon conventional technique?

    Thank you... And yes I also use conventional strategy but also from experience I try to notice which vp slots are hitting and which are cold during that trip. I don't stick to playing the same ones every trip. I also switch up on the games I play at a particular slot. If I notice double double and super double double is not giving me anything, I switch to the worst variance triple double bonus. The strategy seems to be working but it is never guaranteed.

    Thanks. I was only thinking of "how" to play, but you're also employing strategy to decide "what" to play.

    I don't attempt to find "hot" machines or games, but it's always interesting to read about other perspectives, and your jackpot photos are spectacular. :cool:

    Nothing is guaranteed, but try to run the hot streak as long as you can!

    How do you determine which machines are hitting and which are cold? I always thought that at any given time a machine could get hot and then in the same session turn ice cold. I have played at machines that I have done well on, moved off of it and had someone sit down and get nothing or vice versa. Please enlighten me!

    Yes it is random when any given machine can hit or get cold. What I usually do is take down notes and keep track how much $$ each TC is costing me. So I take down notes on every session and every machine. The higher $/TC then the sooner I get up and change machines. It also helps me keep track of my TC during the day, since I jump from casino to casino in LV.... As far as trying to figure out which are hot, I just try to notice which vp machines have been giving multiple hand pays during that trip(I pay attention when other players get hp also). Taking notes and working with data is fun for me, it might not be for the regular player. So far my strategy has worked and I keep adjusting it after every trip. Good luck...

    I wanted to get some practice done at my local casino before heading to vegas tomorrow. And ended up hitting another Royal Flush for $8K. Now lets see how vegas treats me for the next 6 days....

    Yes, it is spectacular. It has a probability of slightly under 0.01% chance of occurring.
