BLACKHOLE IS A BAG OF SHIT

If he had sat down after a player left the machine, the previous cards would be displayed.

Either he was already playing it, or someone else was playing it.

Unless there are video poker machines that start with blank cards on the screen?????

Not true. The cards will turn blank when you either change the number of hands or bet amount. Then change games then go back to that original game. The cards will still be blank with the next hand multiplier still there.

I'm not going to argue about this, but I've never seen it.

I only see VP machines including UX machines where the last hands played remain on the screen.

Not arguing. Just try it next time you're at a casino. Multipliers need not be present. Should work on other games as well.

I didn't even think about that. It's probably not noticeable if you press MAX BET or DEAL to initiate the next hand, but in Mickey's photo, he needed to press the BET PER HAND button (to change from 10 to 5), and at that point the blanked cards were readily apparent.

But IMO I've also seen blanked cards when hunting for multipliers, without any money in the machine.

Wait a second????? I think the photo on this machine shows that this machine was not abandoned. There are still credits on the machine, and I think that this means that the machine is still in play and it was not cashed out by the previous player. Had the machine and the multiplier been abandoned the credit meter would read zero, wouldn't it????

Yeah, what's up with that? Is that crimm trying to fool us again? What a shyster. LOL!

But seriously, Alan, do you think there is a chance I stuck the ticket I had on me in the machine then took the pic?

[mickeycrimm]

Multipliers don't time out or disappear on UX's. I think this is just a misunderstanding by some of what is going on. When you hit a high pair on the line it will put up "next hand 2X" next to the line for the following hand. After the following hand is played it will still show "2X" until the next hand is played but you won't see "next hand" beside it. That means the multiplier was played off on the previous hand. It has to say "next hand 2X" not just "2X" or you won't get the multiplier.

Notice that, as long as the pay table is the same, the same hand will show on different denominations as well.

This pic was taken on Hwy. 2, the high line, northernmost highway in the continental United States. It was 25 below when I was driving through. I drive that route all the time. You can bet your ass I had plenty of water and food in the car....and sleeping bags to stay warm in case of a breakdown.

Do you know what to do if your car gets arctic seizure and won't crank? You pull the tarp out of the trunk and throw it over the car. Then you grab the space heater out of the trunk, fire it up, and stick it under the car. In a half hour she'll fire right up.

Snow and ice don't scare me in Montana. The kind of place it does scare me is Dallas, Texas. The people down there buy tires that are bald to begin with....and they don't know how to drive on snow and ice. They will skid right through a stop sign and take you out.

Mick-I can only speak for northern Indiana/Illinois but they absolutely do time out. They didn't used to but they were changed. I have left a game to hit the john and when I return the bonus is gone with no other hands having been played. On the games I have played, the "live" 2x is to the upper left. After you play that hand, the 2x is to the lower left. So when you see it on the lower left it means that hand was played. If it is in upper left you can vulture it. But again, at least up here, you better do it quickly or it will time out. I have even seen it time out while I searched the various games on that one machine looking for the best hanger to vulture.

Driving in Texas in any kind of inclement weather is terrifying. The elevated highways in urban areas make any ice or snow situation even worse because the roads freeze faster, and no one knows how to drive in it. I've driven several hours through Midwestern and Northeast blizzards where even well maintained toll roads have little more than one set of somewhat carved out wheel ruts in the snow and had an easier time of it than trying to drive a couple miles from an office to a hotel in a Texas rainstorm.

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't noticed it, but I don't play in the midwest.

I've been through every casino in those states and never had this happen. So I'd like to see some video evidence of this. Because if true, it would be illegal tampering with payback percentages.

It must be illegal in Nevada.

I was not aware of it until a friend who plays several days a week alerted me to it. I also didn't believe him until I went with him and he showed me. Then I saw it for myself several times.
I haven't been to any locals for several months. If I do go I will try to get pictures.

Nope still here. In case you missed the song I dedicated to you when you weren't feeling well.

It's amazing how fast these clowns respond once their name is brought up....usually within minutes...sometimes seconds....not that much of a surprise tho

Here is one I was saving until your death, but I will play it early for your enjoyment.

I have never seen a video poker game, including UX, where the cards return to blanks after a player has left the game. And if the player did leave the game -- unless they left their money behind -- the credit meter would be zero.

When you check UX's for multipliers you will see the card values. But you have to change the bet from 10 coins to 5 coins. When you do that it then goes to showing the backs of the cards until you hit the deal/draw button.
