Tonight at Borgata, I got my first royal ever !!! Someone on this board warned me I'll be haunted for life if I didn't bet max. I'll have to wait and see if that's the case... I think they might be right.
I'm so sorry, I feel your pain... I'm haunted by the first one I hit with one quarter when I was a VP ploppy a couple decades ago at the IP in LV.
Ugh, congrats though! That really is bitter sweet. You did win some money so that's still better than getting a royal on an app or computer program!
Honestly had you not hit that buying at that exact time, you probably wouldn't be making this post. Personally, I have a theory that royals happen more often on lower denoms...
Congrats! Although it would be nice to have bet max bet, you might not have played long enough at max bet to get it. Don't feel haunted - enjoy the win!!
Don't sweat it. My first was playing bar top for 2 quarters many years ago. The bartender was shaking his head, but I woudn't have had enough money to get it if I had been betting full coin. I have had a few more at full coin since.
You did fine. Getting the Royal of course is the ultimate goal. But, it only happens once out of 40,000 hands - on average of course. Playing less probably means you get to play longer. Congrats!
I thought the point of playing slots / VP was to always bet max coin? I am not a slot player, but I thought that was the axiom?
The point of playing slots / VP? If you aren't doing it for fun you better stick to positive VP games and play perfect strategy . . . always.
