Best of luck if you do it, which I am sure you will!
It only takes one good hit! Go for it....I will be sending good vibes your way.
Insane NO - Gusty as Hell - YEAH! I hope that damn pot closes right away.. and gives you the big one! Do a live play on your phone and let us all watch. Ask Kenny how - I think you can do it on Facebook live.
Good luck and I hope it works out for you!
My opinion of this game is that when it starts to play it is generous but... It takes awhile to get there. In my experience I've never had this game pay out until I've spent some time on it.
Hi GG,
I'm with the majority in saying go for it and hoping for a big win early on.
At $88 a spin, that's definitely insane...but our kind of superb insanity!
Best of luck!
Cheers,
Billy
Darn, miss each other by just a day. Have fun and good luck!Quote:

This has been my experience also. This one's been more of a sit and churn away one for me. But I've had a couple of times where it started paying right away. Sometimes it seems like playing a higher bet on these wakes the thing up. But not always. And I don't have any experience with the HL ones....just the ones where 8.88 is max bet. With this one, I think you've said that $88 is the smallest bet to qualify for all the progressives but max is $888?Quote:

I'm assuming that while your bankroll is 10 spins on this that you will do additional spins at this level with minor winnings? If the pot hasn't opened by 21 or 22 spins I would give it up at this level and start going down, but if you can work your initial bankroll to finance that with non handpay wins I'd keep going. For me thinking about this it's the potential for handpays that's complicating my thoughts on this because at this bet level, a win at 14x bet is a handpay, which means the machine freezes and you gotta stop for paperwork. While I know that the RNG is constantly moving at a breakneck speed I still feel in practice that machines get hot and the whole handpay process sometimes slows that down.
I would also say that if you're planning to play this machine beyond this experiment at $88, with other money in your bankroll, I would do it after this. I've bailed my ass out on these many a time by continuing to play at lower bets when I've lost at higher bets. I say other bankroll because my experience usually is that it takes up to 2x freeplay to get things moving. I've had a couple of handpays on these but most of my experiences have been either playing a lot of time at higher bet levels and being able to leave with my initial br or a small profit. Now whether I've left at that point or not is of course another matter entirely lol.
Anyway good luck!
I have played these machines many times on previous trips but usually only betting $18 consistently which only made me eligible for the mini. But I have never been able to get the pot to close. I have randomly played $88 for a spin or 2 but never 10 in a row. I have had back to back handpays playing at the $18 level. I think the minimum for all progressives is $68.Quote:

In case anyone was wondering - I'm definitely going for it. Counting down 10 more days until my trip. I will try to video but it may be tough at Venetian.
Thanks for all of your input - I hope to have exciting results to share.

Really sorry to miss you too. Are you going to try to visit Vegas Thanksgiving week to go to the holiday Grazie gift show?Quote:

@Evoni - what do you think my chances are of getting video? I know you get harassed at Venetian. I think it will be tough since those machines are right up front.
I have never played the ones on the Palazzo side because someone usually has the machines reserved when I am there.

The potential on this game is insane!
I'm looking forward to your pictures/video.
Good luck Georgia, really looking forward to this and I hope you win big [emoji256]
Thanks @clemi - I need a full screen like you got in your trip!

I've only seen the 88 Fortunes so far reserved once at Palazzo HL room so it might be free, however it's just as well regarding Palazzo HL room if you don't try recording 88 Fortunes at that location because the Slot Manager there if he spots you recording will tell his slot attendants to watch out for you.Quote:

This has happened the last 3 trips and I think they send someone not from the HL room because that way I'm not upset with the employees working in HL. i think you will be fine and likely not get caught because you won't be recording for a long period of time and won't have friends with you that draws the attention of the security cameras. Good luck, hope you win big on 88 Fortunes!
Thanks Diana, I'm going to try. 10 spins will go fast lol. I will just play dumb and say I didn't know if they say something.

Good Luck!! Would love to see this video.
I don't think you're insane at all!!! Let that tin close!!!

If you check this video by Desirae Krogman The Best Slot Hits, he says a woman attendant double checked if it was okay to record at the Venetian and they said yes. Hope you can record too!
@Evoni has said DK was wrong.Quote:

I have several vids lately where you can hear them tell me to stop recording at Palazzo and Venetian, though of course I just take a break and then start up again, but it is discouraging and one of the reasons I've been staying at Cosmo more this year since they let us record and encourage us to share it on social media. Aria also lets us record and a lot of strip properties just ignore it with the exception of Wynn/Encore and Venetian/Palazzo. One of my friends who works at Palazzo has gone to the slot director at Venetian/Palazzo to try to convince them their ideas are outdated but unfortuantely this policy is currently coming from exec's who are in their 80's.Quote:

Can't wait to hear about the million-dollar payout on that 88 Fortune
Thanks Hope that it comes true - it is first machine on my list when I get there Saturday. If you hear that some lady passed out after she hit the jackpot - that might be me.Quote:
