“My mom and I like to play once or twice a year, but we often spend a lot of time hunting down the few old machines where the max bet is only 3 or 5 quarters. These machines will often wipe out our predetermined limits, but at least it will take a few hours rather than a few minutes.“
My best ever slot payout was $1200 on a progressive penny machine in Laughlin NV about 10 years ago. It was quite a thrill as the floor worker counted out that win after it was verified.
Those are called hand pays….and I love them. I play multicard or 4 card keno, and I win. I won $1600 Thursday night. I’m in Vegas now. Come here every 2-3 weeks because I have friends here. Last time I was here I won $2000. I think it was in December I won $10,000. They say keno has the worse house odds but I win playing it. And I love the hand pays.
