Harassment

[juliack]

I was playing VP tonight at the B&M and hit 4 sixes right away on triple bonus for 3K. While I was waiting to get paid this guy kept asking me stupid questions on how to play VP. I got paid and continued to play. He kept asking why I was holding certain cards and I politely explained I have to concentrate on the game or I will make a mistake. He said why to you have to concentrate, it's only a slot machine. I ignored him and kept playing. A few seconds later I was dealt 3 aces and two jacks for a full house. I discarded the two jacks and just then he loudly said " why did you throw away the full house ". At the same time I was dealt and 8 and another ace for 4 aces, (6K win ). He looked at the screen and had the nerve to ask again why I let the full house go. I explained that is why you have to concentrate or you could blow $6000 for a mere $175 on a full house. He walked away looking confused. I cannot believe some people. After I got paid I walked out with my winnings and noticed he was bothering someone else on the $2 VP. The funny thing is the Canadian casinos tolerate this harassment while he would not last too long in a Vegas casino. Typical Canadian passiveness ! Cheers...

That was an interesting story, thanks! How sweet it was that you hit the fourth Ace. The fact that it didn't sink in at that moment means he will probably never understand the game ("It's only a slot machine" - LOL).

OMG

I never thought to throw out a full house! That was better than the story!

You are right Juliak
At the Trop, this guy barely got up to me to ask for a cigarette, he maybe got two words out and got thrown out!!

I never thought to throw out a full house!

That is the correct play in several games, including Triple Bonus Poker. If the value of Four Aces is high enough and/or the value of a Full House is low enough, it warrants making this play. Depending on the paytable, you might also keep Three 2s, 3s or 4s instead of a Full House.

I also do the exact same thing when I go up to Harrah's Cherokee,,IE: The last time I was there I was playing a Triple symbol slot machine and their slot machines are unique up there in the fact that you get two spins for your bet,, you spin once and lock any of the three reels you see fit and then you spin again...so I did my first spin and I was betting $10.00 per spin...it gives me on the first spin, two triple symbols and a single bar for $425.00 so I look over at my wife and say ah hell I'm going for the big bucks baby, and she cringes up,, I lock in the two triple symbols and dump the single bar and re-spin the third reel and it drops me a red seven for $4,500.00 sweet dollars,,,so basically I exchanged the $425.00 it had given me on the first spin for $4,500.00 final win....so the moral of the story is "No Risks...No Riches"...LOL

I ... spin ... two triple symbols ... my wife ... cringes ... I ... dump ... and ... it drops ... $4,500.00

What a great story! The game sounds similar to a UK fruity, except that it's random.

Kinda reminds me after you kick a sucessful field goal in football from inside say the 3 yard line and there is a defensive penalty....99% of coaches as the cliche goes will never take the 3 points off the board even if the penalty grants a first down and half the distance to the goal line....too conservative in that particular situation imo but that is why I do not get paid to coach football

Exactly Slots,,,very similar,, it's actually the only casino that I know of that has those types of slot machines...With Harrah's Cherokee being in N.C. they had to make a deal or pact as the Indians call it with the state that their games would involve a certain level of skill for them to be legal and IIRC IGT special made these slot machines for Harrah's Cherokee...I actually posted some screen shots awhile back in the WSS thread showing some of the wins I've had up there and you can see in those pictures where they have a "Lock" symbol featured on the screen,,,I play that way a lot when I do go up there and it has payed off a lot of those times...those screenshots start on page 1042 Slots if you want to check them out....
