I'm in New Orleans. Law tournament is over and I'm at Harrah's determined to lose my kids' inheritances. I'm at the bar playing 9/6 (actually 8/5) Jacks or better) 25c video poker sipping scotches. I have to go to the potty and am up 325 units; I return, put in the max and 2 aces show up - so I hold them and draw and get two more aces plus the 3 of diamonds. Hey! 100 credits, right? Wrong!; the machine goes past 100; past 200; past 500; past 1000; past 1,500 and finally settles in to 2,000. I think that the machine has gone foul and I won't get anything and then I look at what I've been playing and it isn't Jacks or Better - it is double double bonus where 4 aces with a 2, 3 or 4 pays 2,000 coin. I be a pro be I? or be I not? In any even I am up $500 plus and free to drink many more scotches.
