Wasn't meant to be directed in one way or another....

I didn't add the 24 hour option...in fact, I wonder what the world record is for on-line gaming....wonder if anyone has played 24+ hours straight? Guess with a more comfortable chair than your typical land-based casino, the ability to go to the bathroom without someone stealing your slot, it could be possible....

In my teenage days, I played mahjong for more than 24 hours straight on several occasions. On one occasion, I played at a land-based casino for more than 48 hours with my friend and the only breaks we had were for meals. That was more than 20 years ago and I cant last for more than 3 hours now even at my favorite games. Hopefully, none of you guys will break that record.

You get that excited when playing?



Tips for extra long sessions - During every trip to the bathroom, be sure to throw a lot of cold water on your face and clean up real good. It works wonders.

I used to pull 14 hour shifts at a riverboard casino in Metropolis (wayyyy before it was Harrah's) at least 2 days a week. The only reason these sessions weren't longer was because back then they closed at 2am during the week and 5am on weekends. This was actually when they still sailed, and you had to *gasp* purchase a ticket to get on board and could only board during certain 30 minute intervals.

I still haven't gotten over how many tables they keep open in Vegas casinos at all hours of the night. I prefer heads up play, and never had a shortage of tables to choose from where I could be by myself. Maybe one day I'll join the ranks of high roller and have my very own reserved table...lol

28 hours straight 10 years ago. After that I swore never again. an hour here and there is all the time i can afford to spare nowadays. I do miss the comps though. Come to think of it the dealers back then are pit bosses now so maybe time to give them a visit again.

I gamble mostly on the weekend - So my answer would be maybe 1 - 5 hours a week not a day.

....slightly off topic to my own post...but how about the most slot spins without hitting a feature? My record was the other day on the new Break Da Bank slot. It almost broke me at 1,016 spins before the feature - the highest ever for me. Thunderstruck is way down the list at 945 and in the same session, Spring Break at 810....

Of course more often than not, I hit the feature within the first 20 spins, get half a dozen re-triggers and walk away absolutely loaded...eerr....NOT!

Did you not think just for a teeny weeny second, even say after about the 500th spin that the slot is actually, erm - cold? Yet you still decide to feed the slot like it was going out of fashion?

Oh dear.

I agree- In my experience when I have went ( not near 500 spins) awhile with no bonus I will switch games. I guess it might also be because my bank roll is not nearly large enough to do the statistics

...not really! I don't subscribe to the hot or cold theory. In the case of the 1000+ spins, the featured came in again 4 times within the next 125 spins. Brings the average down considerably. I suppose I believe in the fact that the features are allocated randomnly and as such, switching machines is academic!
