Remembering Past HandPays

[Darrell from WI]

I got to thinking about all of my past HandPays yesterday. I have been slotting for almost 21 years & have 8 career HP's. Got my first one after only slotting for 6 months. It then took 5 years for my second which I hit on my Birthday in 1999. After a 10 year dry spell I hit my largest one in 2009.
Then I had one each in 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, & 2015.
My first 5 were at 5 different casinos & 5 different denominations. I can tell you the month & year & game & amount of each HP. Do you think its weird that I can recall each one going back 20 years ?

In a perfect scenario I would rather be able to say I had so many of them that I can't remember all the details. Maybe I will get there someday. To those of you that belong to the NHPC (No Hand Pays Club) this next question is not for you. For those of you that have had numerous HP's what details do you remember to this day ?

And I would like to add that all 8 of mine happened in Wisconsin so getting one in Tahoe would be a memorable one as well !!!

I wish I had a picture of me by the machine for everyone. I wish I had the same bank roll I have now and actually played a lot back when the glory days or would have had some massive wins I am thinking

I have had 5 US hand pays biggest one being $2800 on a $5 Top Dollar machine.

My first was a WWII machine at NY NY betting $1/spin hit $1250 .

I have had multi Canadian hand pay nights where the HP limit is $250 no tax on any wins though is a nice bonus.

I've only had one and that was around 5 years ago. Wasn't a member of any forums back then and didn't know to take a picture. Like foamy's it was top progressive on Fort Knox $1700 something. I had just started to play slots when our Son went away to College. Decided if I didn't join @foamy on a casino outing once in a while I would be sitting home alone! Also like his I was only betting 50 cents. It was hard to get a seat because everyone was chasing it. Most of the others were max betting and not pleased when I got it at minimum HHH That hooked me on slots and I haven't had one since!

I've had three total. All this year. Once at the beginning of the year for $1400 Penny Wonder 4 Jackpots. Got a nice Buffalo Bonus. 2nd one(highest one to date) was in April for $4,6xx I believe on WWIV. Third one was just in May $5($15 bet) Quick Hit 3R(Dont remember the title, it's in my TR I believe) for $1500. Two in San Diego NA Casinos and one at the Aria.

I can't remember them all. Just the recent ones or odd ones.

DH and I have had alot,but none last year or this year. Times are very different in the gambling world.

Most of my handpays were on vp. I've lost count though. Every time I had gotten 4 Aces w/kicker or a Royal Flush it would turn on the alarm bells & lights.

Mine are easy, I've only had two. First one was in 2011 on the 10 year anniversary of my kidney transplant. The other was last week.
