I guess I've played enough VP that runs like that seem routine now. You name it I've done it/seen it. First hand hit a royal; hit a jackpot first hand, move to the neighbor while waiting and hit a jackpot THERE, etc etc. If you think about it every winning trip I've had on some level is literally "didn't put any more money in after the first hit", but I sure did cycle in the white meat a TON

Then, there are those 6 mo- year long cold patches that just murder you. I'm down about 100k at the local over 2024. Can't hit a draw to save your life, etc etc. It's a streaky game and our sample size as mortals is always going to be pathetically small.

Yes probably a weird coincidence or gamblers fallacy or I just haven’t played enough UX to experience both the lows and the highs of the game - only the lows. I remember talking to a friend during a UX session first week where I think I missed 20 or so draws in a row? Something like that, was absolutely brutal. And all of a sudden I hit 5 out of 5 (I had two quads on 10x multiplier earlier but they were not premium). Absolutely unreal save too and I’m still in total and complete shock.

Looks like a jackrabbit, maybe a baby?

I used to have a cottontail living in my front yard.

Unbelievable comeback! Fantastic.

Pics are amazing. Amazing you saw all of those creatures near Las Vegas. So cool. Something to look forward to on my next trip (if I can get away from the poker tables).

Cool pics, thanks for sharing, Muck!

Misread oriole's caption as, "Bollocks," was wondering what you were trying to say.
