I bet one .25 30 years ago. It was the last quarter I had. I found in my coat pocket. My husband said DON''T DO IT!.. I did. Held one card and drew to the royal. I will never ever forget that moment. I can still see the row of machines and the clothes I wore.
About 6ish years ago, my buddy and I were gambling at The Cromwell. He was having a horrible day, so he started betting 1 nickel on VP. He hit a royal for $12.50.
Been there and done that. I had 3 quarters left on a progressive machine at 3100 dollars and didn't think about it and played the 3 and hit a royal flush, it was around 3 am and 1 other person was playing about 7 machines down from me, I was so pissed, and embarrassed. Biggest mistake ever playing V.P.
One time I was playing a .25 machine with a progressive royal over $2000 but you had to bet 10 credits to qualify, I was betting $1.25 thinking I’d still get $1000 if I hit the Royal, well, I hit the Royal but it only paid $400 hahaha, lesson: always read the paytables
Happened to me once too. I had a bucket of quarters and my friend on the machine next to me ran out of money so they were taking some of my quarters to play. I told them to make sure to play max credits and we can split the winnings. Of course, they only put 1 quarter in and got the royal. $31.25 win.
One time at Mohegan Sun a long time ago before they were doing paper tickets and it was only coins at 2:00 in the morning I found a quarter on the floor put it into a poker machine and what do you think I got on that one quarter a royal flush true story
I love watching your videos mistakes and all lol as long as your winning there is no such thing as a mistake well maybe throwing away a royal! I have been playing video poker for 40 years or more obviously my favorite game, but why do you change bets when your winning on higher bet? Anyway keep posting new videos 😊
GREAT PLAYING in the tournament! WOW! and you played pretty close to perfect! That's tought at that speed!! OUCH on the royal! YIKES! $62.50 instead of $1,000
Hello Andrew! Long time follower and love, your videos and knowledge. You mentioned in another comment section of your videos that casinos can set/adjust a pay schedule. Is a pay schedule different from the pay table or is it one in the same? TY!
I have a question. When you play double double, and you get two pair with one being jacks or better why don’t you just hold jacks or better and go for the quad? It pays the same as two pair. I get holding two pair when it’s not face cards.. also, I noticed when you have two face cards you hold them both and go for jacks or better but when you have a face and a ace you ditch the ace?? Shouldn’t you hold them both and take the chance at quad aces.. at least you double your chance at jacks or better.
because the expected value is higher going fir the full house because the full house pays 9 to 1.....the only time u throw away the 2 pair is when you have a pair of aces...it's all about mathematics..what pays you more in the long run...
OMG! On the bright side congrats on placing in the tournament! Don't beat yourself up over not betting max on the royal flush. As you said you would not have gotten it if the circumstances had been changed.
He holds 2 pair all the time when one is a payback. WRONG MOVE! Best he can get is a full boat instead of a quad. SMH honestly. He makes tons of mistakes ALL.THE.TIME especially for his denominations. DAF!
at 10:31 not going for the A235 clubs was a big mistake too. Playing perfect is the way to go. 8/5 bonus with that 1278 progressive might even be a positive game. Well, you showed us what not to do. I don't think I have ever played light in my almost 40 years of playing Video Poker.
I was shocked he made that mistake;however, the cost of this error was only $1.65 because he did hold the two aces. 8/5 BP progressive with 4716 credits on the meter has an ER of 100.02% with PERFECT play. The variance increases from 20.90 to 27.57.
Congrats on placing in the tournament. My daughter drew a royal on 5 cents 1 coin. She didn't understand why she won such a little amount. I looked over and saw she was on nickles 1 coin. She was so upset. She forgot to change the denomination to 25 cents and max coin. It really hurts when that happens. Thanks for the video.
My very first royal was betting single nickles waiting to watch a show at some downtown casino. I thought I hit a flush but it kept counting up, and realized it was a royal flush. I never bet less than 5 units after that. It was when I was first playing video poker around the year 2005. But I have an excuse...you don't! lol
A true gambler would Never bet one coin or pay one coin. I would literally hate myself if I ever did that! This should be your first and last time that happens again.
My husband won a Progressive Royal today on quarters. He had max coin in the machine. He warned me…Don’t EVER PLAY ONE COIN IN ON THE BET…For someone who has been as much as $500.00 a hand I don’t get it….. At any rate good luck…
Great channel, new follower. Do you know if 5 or 10 hand JoB table would pay out the same odds of a regular single hand JoB game at the same machine? I assume you generate higher comps but is there no odds/payout change besides just 5x or 10x the wager?
Don't feel bad, popped a royal awile back with one nickle in doing the same thing! I don't usually cuss, but I think they heard me on the other side of the casino!
This guy edits his videos to hide all that he loses. In order to get $250 in free play, he has to bet thousands. They froze some of his free play because he is in the tournament? That makes no sense. They probably froze his free p;ay because that's all he was playing and they cut him off.
If that's the biggest gambling mistake of your life you haven't played enough or long enough because I could tell you stories for hours. Anyway, 4 aces with a kicker dealt and you win 400 credits? Bonus Poker is a joke.
If you play single line Derek is the best. 8/5 bonus, free drinks AND a progressive at the Vue Bar on the second floor of the D, 8/6 bonus deluxe and 98.4% joker for a change of pace. Just don't play multi line or carnival games.
$62.50 congratulations, finally you hit a royal flush on a single line !! how long it's been 2 or 3 years, that's almost 3 trillion hands played, so much for 99% perfect play !!
Playing Bonus instead of Triple Double is a sin...You lost thousands doing that on this trip...Never ever play less than the minimum, that is the bonus hand...
They are tournament mode, the RNG is juiced to favor bigger hands. Like DreamCard but on steroids (multiple hands dealt in the background and the best EV one pops up).

Congratulations for placing in the tournament! That 1 credit bet hurt 😢
I did the same thing before walking away, hit 1 credit and hit royal. hurts
Was that Big Cat with the perfect focus on your ear for the last round of the tourney? Meow! =)
How do I find video poker tournaments? I’ll be there 3/31-4/5
Oh yes andrew, CONGRATS TO THE ONE AND ONLY V. P. GOD AROUND. YOU ARE , MY FRIEND THE BEST VIDEO POKER PLAYER ON YOU TUBE , HANDS DOWN.

Saw a 1 credit quarter bet Royal that someone left on the screen. Wonder if they still left happy? Another fun video Andrew

Sorry about that "missed" royal action. Eat some Sparkli Sweets to cheer you up and as always, Go Gamble!
Did the same thing on dimes. Played three instead of ten. Had four to the royal I knew it was coming😅
lol I do the same thing when I have uneven coins. I think after watching this, I’ll stop. I’ve hit quads before, but never the royal….
I love watching your videos mistakes and all lol as long as your winning there is no such thing as a mistake well maybe throwing away a royal!

I remenber that tourney. I played in that one also. We had a nice chat at the 2nd floor bar. That was a solid tourney run.

Do you not like playing double double bonus?
What Boyd Properties do you like most? I always stay at Gold Coast - which are your favorites, Andrew? For video poker...and amenities?
I have always loved Fremont Street

Mary Fox must have had a 10x hand to jump you like that.
wouldnt be there on max bet youve got to know this by now
OMG!
On the bright side congrats on placing in the tournament! Don't beat yourself up over not betting max on the royal flush. As you said you would not have gotten it if the circumstances had been changed.
Nice Tourney win but why are you holding 2 Pair with Aces on DDB? Is that for the FH UX multiplier?
He holds 2 pair all the time when one is a payback. WRONG MOVE! Best he can get is a full boat instead of a quad. SMH honestly. He makes tons of mistakes ALL.THE.TIME especially for his denominations. DAF!
NEVER BET LESS THAN MAX!

It really hurts when that happens.
Thanks for the video.
Thought you tapped out.
Was actually hoping you did and rebuild your life and family.
Nonetheless good luck to you.
That is brutal
About a dozen times in the tournament you held 2 pair with Aces on DDB.
I always cash out the loose change and give it a neighbor.
Holding 2 pair is the correct play when it's UltX because you want the multiplier.
Yep, that Royal at the very end with one credit...I feel like the machines are programmed like that to mess with us.
OMG, this is a important lesson for everyone. Always max bet.
Been there. A few weeks ago I did one credit and got four aces. Not the royal, but it still stung.
Excellent video. Loved the tournament video.
Congrats on the tourney cash! Ugh on the royal 1 credit. Hope to meet you one day with the gang. Jamie, Jeremy Kelly.
Hey dude. Heading out to vegas soon. Staying downtown old Las Vegas. Which casino do you recommend for best video poker odds? Thanks
Head over to the Grand or 4 Queens.
@@Vegas-fe9yv thanks.
Fast action at tourney. Gratz
Bro, where did you get that flamindo shirt? I want one, seriously!
My very first royal was betting single nickles waiting to watch a show at some downtown casino. I thought I hit a flush but it kept counting up, and realized it was a royal flush. I never bet less than 5 units after that. It was when I was first playing video poker around the year 2005. But I have an excuse...you don't! lol
Congratulations on the tournament. Very excellent. I wonder if the Royal would have even hit if you were playing 1.25
It’s painful bro! I’ve done that a few times. Lesson freakin learned. lol
That sucks Andrew. But I’m glad you didn’t do that while betting high limit!
Another great Vlog, Andrew.
A true gambler would Never bet one coin or pay one coin. I would literally hate myself if I ever did that! This should be your first and last time that happens again.
The held 9 of clubs with the trip 6's at 22:40.......oohhhhhh - it happens to everyone at some point
You need to buy some Tesla stock again?

Rookie mistake Andrew…that’s a hard one to take. 😮
You must of had $100 in the machine above .25 cents.... still an ouch
My wife use to work at the old Fitzgeralds
That’s nothing compared to the 60k you threw away a few years back by holding the wrong shit
Don't feel bad, popped a royal awile back with one nickle in doing the same thing! I don't usually cuss, but I think they heard me on the other side of the casino!
25c 50c???
Five min levels? That's a lot of VP.
Missing that 8x sucked.
Ouch😶I see people playing 4 coins thinking their tricking the machine🤦At least you weren't on dollar or more coin. Nice $3,000 on the tournament 🤑
painful you knew better great tournament
Ya i hit 5 royals in my life all 3 in
Lol. ROYAL won just a few dollars. You are getting rusty. No videos for us so it’s your karma…. Lol. Too bad😢😢😢😢
It happens no worries.
When was the tourney? Nice tourney score with that 17.8k. 12x on the finish...
Must have been a few months back. That bank in Golden Gate at the end has been removed. I hit my first royal on it a few months back.
@@andrewhime7701 ok, cool. Im glad i didnt miss out on a tourney.
OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude… 🤦♂️
NICE BUT OOPPS
50c?????
Good luck Andrew! 😊❤
😢
Omg what are the chances of that happening.
showing only the best hands is not authentic enough to wash so l will see you another time
Good luck🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
We need content
This guy edits his videos to hide all that he loses. In order to get $250 in free play, he has to bet thousands. They froze some of his free play because he is in the tournament? That makes no sense. They probably froze his free p;ay because that's all he was playing and they cut him off.
Probably wouldn’t of came at full bet. All the odds are different at lower bets.
If that's the biggest gambling mistake of your life you haven't played enough or long enough because I could tell you stories for hours. Anyway, 4 aces with a kicker dealt and you win 400 credits? Bonus Poker is a joke.
Dang!! 😳
All hail Derek! Why do you play such bad pay tables though?
If you play single line Derek is the best. 8/5 bonus, free drinks AND a progressive at the Vue Bar on the second floor of the D, 8/6 bonus deluxe and 98.4% joker for a change of pace. Just don't play multi line or carnival games.
@@Henry_Fungoh I have played upstairs at the D. Hit the royal last time I was there for $1173. :)
Expensive mistake
You might as well go home 😂
$62.50 congratulations, finally you hit a royal flush on a single line !! how long it's been 2 or 3 years, that's almost 3 trillion hands played, so much for 99% perfect play !!
And thousands of dollars lost
I think he had one recently.
Jacked Out 😮
😎👍👍
And one of the timrs i just got out of 3 fsys in jsil for expired license in henderson 2 in royal 😅
You need a new camera man/woman
Playing Bonus instead of Triple Double is a sin...You lost thousands doing that on this trip...Never ever play less than the minimum, that is the bonus hand...
🍒🍒🍒
Andrew, quick question, is all the profanity necessary? some ladies and kids might be watching. Please Stop It!! Please.
FYI The VP tournaments are not random. Everybody gets dealt the same hands.
They can't adjust the way a machine deals the RNG.
They are tournament mode, the RNG is juiced to favor bigger hands. Like DreamCard but on steroids (multiple hands dealt in the background and the best EV one pops up).
They don’t all get the same hands dealt. That’s ridiculous. Be informed dude.
Too fast
Thought you tapped out.
Was actually hoping you did and rebuild your life and family.
Nonetheless good luck to you.
