If I use the big van, it's $20 back and forth for gas-the car about $10. I wait till thursdays when I receive $20-25 free play from the casino. I head for the nickel machines which have 5-25 credit bets and start there. I have to mentally keep track with the dollar amount to play it once through. I have a $5-$10 win goal, depending on how the machine spits out the two pairs. My best session was, of course, a royal on ddbp and my most discouraging was starting and on the first hand at nickels receiving 4-5's. If the machine I happen to be on starts filling the flushes,straights, and full houses regularly, I play the full $100 on the session, which part is already free play. I hit 4 A's w/kicker on my most memorable one. Usually, it's just a smaller quad. On the 4 A's on BP I was referring to, the 2 pairs were quite regular-but I didn't feel I had enough time to decide on the hot or cold cycle or I would have bumped it to 25 credits for the rest of the game. I like it because you have to THINK and this keeps you mentally awake. Just recently, I have noted that whenever these machines are horrid, it's best to go home because it seems like the whole casino atmosphere is in the "take" mode. Don't know how to explain that, but if I have to fight to get a small quad, it's best to get outta there. Forgot to mention, I usually only play $100 of the $300 because if the machine is in what I consider a cold cycle, I switch machines and begin the strategy again, and there's only 3 of these machines. Now I don't wish to start anything-that's just my way of playing.
