Thanks John, great content as usual. I know all about cold machines! My casino has 2 $5 coin VP machines, they are 7/5 BP. I went over 3000 hands without a 4OAK on one of these machines playing $5 BP. I kept thinking it was going to turn around and warm up. It never happened. This was the farthest out on statistical probability I have ever experienced. I did hit a straight flush early on for $1250 hand pay. Sometimes it's best to just walk away and live to fight another day! The next weekend I got quad aces twice and several 2,3,4 quads which made up for that statistical anomaly.
Yes, I certainly get it when the machines turn cold. That 3,000+ hands, (without a Quad) must have been quite frustrating & unbearable! I agree, sometimes it's better to just walk and come back another day. If I'm not feeling it, I just try to snag a $100 or $200 off the machine and head on out. By the same token, when the machines are on a wild-tear just spitting out Quads right & left, it sure can make up for those dry spells. Good info. Keep up the great work!
@@johnsworldofvideopoker We all are , now I’m awaiting a date for a surgery, plus my luck went south with the geese, so am taking a hiatus for awhile, good luck and Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Yes, I take breaks from video poker from time to time too when it’s not rolling well. Playing on a simulator during the down time helps to keep your game sharp. Good luck on your surgery. Happy Holidays!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
@@johnsworldofvideopoker when are u going to pala again , we went last week did ok but not as g as i want it to do . Happy Christmas and happy new years
Greetings from Torrance! Hope you and your family have been doing well. This is one nail biting session. The two pairs are definitely your best friend. I do have a feeling that this isn't over by a long shot! Can't wait to get out to Pala. I have been working massive overtime with people going out sick. Been too busy, but saving up my overtime for one big session before the end of the year. Hopefully I can call you again screaming "I hit another Royal!!" Thanks again sir!
Hi Paul. Great to hear from you. All the overtime probably makes you exhausted. Let me know when you'll make it out this way to see if we can rendevous before year end. Best holiday wishes to you, your family, and Mom. Take care!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
Awwww…..Thank you, Debbie. So sweet of you. Can’t wait to see the photos. If you’re up to it & are able to go early, there may be a wider variety of choices available. Thank you so much for thinking of me!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
Hi John! Happy Holidays!!! Excellent session showing the reality of playing video poker and how to tottle up and down, switching between BP and JoB to maintain our bankroll. Hope you will hit another Jackpot soon!!!
Hi Debbie. Happy Holidays to you too. You really got going out to Vegas a lot this year. So much fun seeing you & Becky on UA-cam having a blast! Take care.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
Nice to see you back John......It was tough session, but, I know you'll get it back🤑🤑🤑🤑Heading back to Red Rock next week, let's see how DDB treats us. Here's wishing you & your family a Happy & Safe Holiday Season🌲🌲🎀🎀
I appreciate your liking the channel. We both have been overwhelmingly busy for the last year+ on personal matters. That should be changing in the near future for my channel and more postings will follow. Thank you for your loyal patience. I should have a video out this weekend.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
You’ll notice when you change games that the cards showing are the last hand that was played on that game. Each game has their own deck of 52 cards independently of all the others. I don’t know if each game has its own random number generator (RNG), but I suspect that they do because when I switch games, I notice that a game that is “rolling” along quite nicely, isn’t rolling along on the next game, or the next game, could be rolling along even better than the game that was switched from. Nonetheless, since all the games are all totally random, the probabilities of the different games remain the same. Thank you for your comments. Happy Holidays.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
Hi Alan. My general rule for long “bankroll-building” sessions is 1,000 coins on whatever denomination you’re playing. So for 25¢ denominations you’d start with 1,000 25¢ coins or $250, $500 for 50¢ coin denom, $1,000 for $1 coin denom, $2,000 on the $2 coin denom, and $5,000 on the $5 coin denom. That’s usually enough coinage to fade the variance of the low volatility games such as 9/6 JoB or 8/5 BP or NSUDW. All the other games have higher volatility and would require 2X-3X more to fade their variance. This is just a minimum starting point (for bankroll building sessions). So starting with $500 on a $5 coin denomination is woefully underfunded to fade that sort of action. However, I’ve tried it here and there in the past and have walked away with 4 $20,000 Royals in doing so off of just a $500 starting bankroll. That’s just “the right machine” (that happens to be rolling) at the “right time”. It’s better to start with $1,000 on a $1 coin denomination, and when Quads are hit, use that house-money to switch to the $2 coin denomination. If Quads are hit again on the $2 coin denomination, then switch to the $5 coin denomination using that house-money. I try to play higher coin denominations on house-money whenever possible. That way, it minimizes your losses, but maximizes your wins, (especially if you hit a Royal on a high denomination)! Happy Holidays to you.😉🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
Yes, the machine was definitely not rolling along on this part of the session. Hopefully, some good hits are coming my way. When I go bankroll building off-camera is when everything under the sun seems to hit. The challenge is that not all casinos allow filming, so I don't get to film everywhere I go. I'm sure the tide will turn though. Thanks for watching!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
@user-Vegas1 Thank you, Tony. That ended up being a tougher session, as you’ll see in the next video, as well. Fortunately, these losses are subsidized and off-set by “off-camera” sessions that I use for bankroll building in between filmed episodes. I hope to hit some more Royals on camera though. Happy Holidays to you & your family, Tony. You’re the Best!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
yes i sure miss his videos, they were the best, i guess he decided to move on, i mean after all, these casinos arent paying out anything like they used to. i dont blame him, he took a lot of beatings and he probably has a family. he was the best though! my aboslute favorite. sure do miss him!
He’s been focused on family, business, investments, and off-camera video poker play. He’s actually way up in every area. He’s on the verge of releasing content soon. He & I stay in touch almost every day.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
@cjmary Yes…I’ve chatted a lot with Slotmassacre lately about how we all miss his videos. He has a few videos waiting in the wings and says he’ll be launching content again soon. He’s been doing quite well in all areas of his life. Take care. Happy Holidays!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
How much of a bankroll do you recommend for $5 denomination? I usually go with 1k and it seems to last a good while if the machine is hitting. Also, do you ever switch machines if you sense it’s not doing well at a particular session? Thanks 😊
A $1,000 bankroll can be consumed rather quickly on the $5 coin denomination, if the machine isn’t knocking out the 2 pair hand or JoB hands, right and left. $2,000 would be a lot safer and a $5,000 bankroll would provide a much better margin of bankroll protection on the $5 coin denomination. That being said, I typically start on the $2 coin denomination with a $500-$1,000 bankroll hoping to hit a $250, $400, or $800 Quad on 8/5 Bonus Poker. If that happens, I move-up to the $5 coin denomination using that house-money bankroll to hopefully hit those same Quads for $625, $1,000, & $2,000 on the $5 coin denomination. Then that house-money can be used to possibly hit a $20,000 Royal. And, Yes, if a machine isn’t hitting anything at all, by all means get off of it (sooner than later) and go to another machine. It’s all random anyway, so there’s nothing lost by switching machines or the games themselves. You may just run into a machine or game that’s rolling like crazy. If you land on a machine that is rolling (i.e. hitting everything from JoB’s, 2-pairs, trips, straights, flushes, and full houses with barely any misses in between) then, I never leave the machine, as long as it’s rolling, even if it rolls for 8-12 hours straight. I stick with it until the rolling stops or it hits a Royal Flush. That’s why you need a machine with a very wide “spread” of coin denominations ($1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $25, $50 all on 1 machine…Palms, Red Rock, Pala, etc.) in order to keep scaling-up with house-money. In doing so, you may just hit a life changing, $80,000, $100,000, or $200,000 Royal Flush off of very little money of your own by using a lot of house-money to scale-up across the denominations. That is the “game within the game”. That is to say, scaling across the denominations (on house-money) to hit big-time Royals.😉🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
@@johnsworldofvideopoker thank you for this thorough response! I’ve hit my first Royal on Jacks or better and you were my inspiration for playing and staying committed. Thank you and I hope you the best on your future sessions!
You’re welcome. I know you’ll do well, and hit even more Royals in the future. When playing 8/5 Bonus Poker, please examine the pay table thoroughly. It MUST have the following payouts: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 40, 125, 200, 400, 250, & 4,000 coins. Anything that deviates from this exact pay table is a scam. (Except a 7/5 pay table which only differs on the full house hand). That is a “medium-pay” pay table and it can also be exploited, although the 8/5 BP pay table is the ideal one to be played on. Thank you for your comments and viewership.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
@@johnsworldofvideopoker yes, they have this game at my local casino. If you’re ever in the Central Valley Table Mountain is my favorite go to for video poker. Keep up the great work. We enjoy your content 😊👍🏽
I’m playing underfunded (after my $20,000 Royal win) in order to buy my new Tesla. (a la Slotmassacre) And, Yes, I haven’t produced many videos this year or I’d have close to 8,000+ subscribers this year. That will change in 2024, as I will produce a video every 2-3 days. I have a lot of personal goals that I have set for myself in video poker that I have yet to realize. The only Royals that I haven’t hit yet are the $80,000 Royal (on the $20 Coin Denomination), the $200,000 Royal (on the $50 Coin Denomination), and the $400,000 Royal (on the $100 Coin Denomination). I intend to hit them all before my time in video poker is through. Hang in there, the best is yet to come!😉🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
Good 👍 game see you soon

great ooking forward to seeing more great videos@@johnsworldofvideopoker
why are your videos so short? i dont get it, the actual play is like 5 or 10 minutes and thats it?
The session was approximately 1 hour long, so I broke it down into four 15 minute videos, because folks wanted more frequent videos.
