    I feel you on that. I tried VP at the bar at the golden nugget last weekend. I kind of enjoyed it.
    Free drinks were a plus. I just need the discipline to keep playing even when a few hands don't go my way. What's the best
    Vp game for a noob?

    You can go to Freeslots.com (enroll for free) to learn vp. They offer a "trainer" on all of the different vp games. Personally, I think that all newbies should first learn "Jacks or Better" because it is what most other different poker games are based on. I know that once after I had learned J.o.B. I wanted to branch out to a more exciting game to play. My choice was/still is "Double-Double Bonus". Good Luck!

    I can honestly say that 90 percent of each outing, that I am ahead at some point, usually with in the first hour of play. But who wants to leave after driving over an hour or more just to get there, and then win a little and immediately stop playing and drive all the way back home?

    I am a degenerate gambler, and if I am ahead I just bet larger to try and win even more, but end up losing all I have won and usually much more. I have an average of losing 3 out of every 4 trips.

    Thanks for taking time to reach out on this post.
    I always thought you walked away a winner. I would see those nice runs on Dean and think that's awesome, but why can't I hit those. . Oh by the way, your trip report with Ting? Is one of my favories. Again,thanks for reply.

    I have never had a winning trip. Me and my partner share the same BR and never do we both have good trips, so we always end up in the losers circle. I report the bad more than I do the good.

    This thread is really an eye opener. I see so many wins, I always assumed you jokers were killing it.
    At least we are all still having fun. Cheers Zeus. Thanks.

    Good luck.
    Hey Slotdude, went to my local tonight and after last nights winning trip tonight was colder than freezing re: hits. Dropped $100 in 15 minutes playing $1 per spin on reels. Best win $20, once. Otherwise $10 once and a couple $5 dollar wins and nothing else. Saw a floor mgr. on our way out and he wanted to know where we were going? I told him how cold the machines were and he just said some nights are like that. He knew. I played several machines and everybody claimed to be having the same luck as me.

    It sounds like that floor manager didn't want you to leave? I'll bet that (in his mind) he was thinking that you should stay and spend your latest winnings + more (haha!). Believe me when I say that these local casino managers know a lot more about their regulars (such as you) than you think they do. Kudo's to you for leaving, and especially for telling that manager "why" you are leaving! Maybe one day they'll get the hint that they shouldn't turn those slots into icebergs : )

    I know for myself I lose I'd say 29 out of 30 trips on average. My sister on the other hand has WAY more even trips which in my book is a huge win!! Casinos are made because they make money and most people are losing in them. Unless they're hiding a lucky horseshoe up their ass I'd say someone that claims to always win is full of it.
