Thread: Money you missed by not betting max

  1. #11
    i cant even remember all the times it has happened to me. or let alone last bet before going to zero and cant max bet anymore. not sure what biggest loss would be.

    most recent i can recall is a willy wonder 3 wild reels woulda been like $400 or so. i got $40 since only betting 40cents.

    I can think of one for you @dvandentop, your one penny bet on Perfect 8 where you landed the bonus and got two perfect eights lined up with drums. That hit would have been huge! Apparently it still haunts me and it didn't even happen to me! HHH

    I don't worry about it because I don't have the bankroll to max bet. We always go slotting for at least 5 hours at a time. If I max bet I would most likely be broke in an hour

    My sentiments exactly,Laurie. I guess I'm just a low roller at heart. If I maxed bet I would be broke in less time than it took us to drive to the casino.

    I find that i only max bet if I get ahead.

    I usually bet in the 2x to 3x range on pennies but if the machine is hot I will give it a max bet for a couple of spins. Would really like to land a big one on those infrequent max bets. On reels I am comfortable in the $2 - $3 range with an occasional $5 bet. Most Ive hit on $5 machine is $400 twice. Looking for a HP on $5 machine for my bucket list. I have had a HP on pennies, nickels, quarters, 50c, & dollars in my past. Still need one on 2c credits and $5 or higher machines.

    There was one time on Big Ben. I was down to my last spin, and had 10 cents left on the machine. I played the 10 cents, and all the damned clocks came up. I got like $10.00. It would have been $1,000.00 I think. Still haunts me from time to time.

    A long time ago, I did witness a guy win a jackpot and looked so miserable. Would of won $50,000 on the old red, white and blue 7 reel slot instead of $2500, if he bet $3 instead of $1.

    I was low rolling my last $20. I hit 7 quick hits for $160, I NEVER get more than 4 quick hits, would of been $1400 but max bet was $4. Still not as bad as the guy above...ha!

    I saw the same thing happen to someone on a WoF progressive. I think it was over 1.2 million she left on the table because her husband wouldn't give her another dollar to bet max.
