Howdy all,
I met up with a bunch of old friends in LV this past weekend to do some partying. Some of them were winning pretty big in the casinos so I decided to try my luck on friday night. Armed with the whole 10 bucks I had alloted for gambling, I sat down at a video poker machine and started playing.
I wasn't really paying attention to much other than the fact that my ten dollars was disappearing very quickly. On one particular hand, I held an ace, king, and jack (all spades) in the hopes of making the jacks or better rule. Well wonder of wonders, I get dealt a queen and 10 of spades to win....a whopping 75 bucks!
In my pessemistic mind, I knew I really had no chance of winning anything big, so instead of playing 5 quarters every round, I only did 1. The embarrassing part was that the woman next to me started to congratulate me until she saw what I was betting and then she started laughing at me!
So instead of coming home with a progressive jackpot of $10k, I've got a story that I can tell forever.
Now, I've got a question...are the odds of winning a royal flush on one quarter in a slot machine the same as if I had played 5 quarters? i'm guessing no and that's what lets me go to sleep at night.
I hope all y'all's turkey day went well!
