Oh, good. I took a bath chasing a $500 this year when it dropped over 40% during just $10k+ coin in, but I was pushing it at the 8.80 level and variance just got the better of me.

If you are not filing as a pro it almost seems the $5k W-2G isn’t even worth it. I guess maybe there are ways to offset such a huge play.
Playing a 5k rd at 1.76 would be like watching paint dry ,,,hours wasted
I have only played River Dragons one time. I chose the 528 denom. Didn't want to possibly hit a taxable before the main event.
Maybe so but with the numbers you guys play its money wasted.
I like the low variance route. I don't get a play on RD's all that often. This last play was on graveyard in a 600 machine casino in the middle of nowhere. Nothing to do but twiddle my thumbs if not on the play.
PS: An 880 bettor gets to sit around waiting on W2-G's. You have to rack up just 137 bets in free game mode to get one.
And we all don't have million dollar plays like you.

I took a minor on one of these recently and had a pretty good spin....
I found an Ainsworth Glitter Diamonds at $1,964.29 major must pay by $2,000.00. I saw someone playing for a bit and I clocked the major meter at 1 penny per $5.00 and the minor at 1 penny per $3.50. Does that sound right for an Ainsworth penny machine? Also, at what number would you guys begin to play a machine like this? Newbie here. Thanks in advance.
Depends on what the overall payback of the game is. But at 1964 and .2% meter the average hit would be 1982. With .2% meter that's $9000 in action.
1982/9000 means the meter is worth 22%. That would be enough for me to spin it off without knowing the actual payback of the game.

Anyone have any stats on these new Aruze: The Brave Spirit / Tiki games? Free Games meter accumulates at different multiplier levels and then hits at some point. I haven’t run enough spins to determine if this could be a play or not. Top level games seem to hit when 190+
I haven't see this info anywhere and i'm pretty new to slots, so the pressing question i need an answer to is: How do you hold the machine when you need to take a bathroom break? Do you ask a casino employee to hold it, do you leave a small personal item on the seat, or is there some universal signal? i haven't seen any reference to Depends, so i assume that's out of the question.
Also, i wanted to say i'm very appreciative of you publicizing your plays and math; if i were in a similar situation i'm not sure i would, out of fear of competition. i understand you're in a less-populated area, but it's still quite generous. so thanks (even if i never get a play on one).
On that last River Dragon play I had a bathroom very close to the machine. That's the first thing I check out when I know I'm going to be on a machine for awhile. I have the "young man's bladder" so have to take frequent bathroom breaks. I know well in advance whether I'm going to be on one of those plays so carry my windbreaker with me, which I frequently need in the breezy casinos anyway.
With the Buffalo Diamond 3X plays and the River Dragon plays I wait until I'm awarded free games. When I take off to the restroom I have a cup of coffee, my reading glasses, a pen, and an ashtray on the machine and my windbreaker on the back of the chair with the chair tilted forward onto the machine so no one can sit down in it. When the game is in free game mode you can't cash out the ticket so that's a blocker to anyone trying to rip me off. They are going to have to play off the free games before they can get the money. With the buffalo diamonds I don't start the free games until I get back.
The River Dragons will automatically start the free games but unless you are using the speed stop it plays real slow in free game mode. I'm usually back to the machine before the free games are over.
BTW, that last River Dragon play was at North Star Casino just outside Bowler, Wisconsin.
Would I use the above technique in Las Vegas? Fuck no. The LV thieves are to sharp. They'll speed stop those free games off lightning quick and be gone with the ticket in 30 seconds. But it works pretty good in the outback where they don't have the really experienced credit hustlers.

Mickey, are you concerned you would draw attention to yourself if you asked a slot attendant to cover?
Seems risky walking away anywhere. Thanks.
Yeah, I don't understand that. I have had slot attendants watch my machine and I just give a tip when I get back. They are asked by people to do that all the time. I think you're just asking to get ripped off. But maybe I'm missing something.
