    I'm in a thou, got about a hundy credits, Blue Pig is 22, Red Pig Meal Ticket has all exclusions, Yellow is fat too. I'm playing $4.50 a hand. All three show up at the same time and they all pop. Finish about $180 down.

    Wouldn't even occur to me to get buried $1000 in a penny game. So, you're paying $4.50/game to win penny credits that make you feel like you win a lot? Feels like a bunco artist created this slot.

    It paid $681. I had a little "slow" luck on this one. $4.50 is the second highest level at the penny denom, you can take it one more to $6. After that, you can go to 2 cents, 5 cents, and 10 cents. I recently spoke of getting a W2G for $2100. That's
    not a "penny game" in my opinion. I am well ahead of these pigs and will no doubt continue to beat them. I also receive .0025 of my action in free play and a nice mailer each month, plus $50 in food a week, and eight free nights in a very nice hotel
    each month, and that's without asking. I can ask for much more, and will get it if I do. Ditto at other casinos. I am top level in their rewards system, and am not a high roller. They treat me like a king, and I'm not even a prince.

    Hitting all three pigs and being stuck. Is that unusual or just normal choppiness of the game? And what did you start blue at? No pressure to answer that last. Heading to the casino for the weekend. I'll check out the pigs among other things.

    Rumor is that 100 pennies equals a dollar.

    Ya, but slots are based on a lot of gambler psychology and 100x units feels like a lot more than if they were denominated in pennies though, right? Similar thing goes on at the WSOP where every so often they feel the need to increase your starting
    chips.....$10K buyin used to be T10k chips....then it wen tto T30K chips....now it's T60K chips.....so players feel they are getting their money's worth in the same way as those slots.

    I honestly don't remember what I started at. I do remember that Red was all "struck" out already. How many times have you sat through a session of video poker and ended up losing even though you had your fair share of quads and a straight flush?
    Something like about 3 out of 4? How many "royal cycles" have you gone through because you did something bad in a past life?

    Lots, but I did hit a Royal today.

    That's what I was getting at. Some idea of volatility.

    .

    Wrong again. It was a Daniel Negreanu suggestion that Deep Stack play would draw more players because they'd last longer. Then he suggested increasing the number that cashed. "Cut the top players pay on down and more win."

    They took his suggestions.
