Congrats! And thanks for the update, keep 'em coming. Love to see it, but I can confidently say (very respectfully of course), having read all your trip reports, that you have no idea what it feels like to be overdue for this hand...

I hear ya man. Every time I get my ass kicked and start whining I remind myself of the overall ridiculous run good I've had.

To address all the "100 hand" questions-
- about 2 sec to say to myself, "F why not 100 hands?!" bc-
- I was literally playing 100 hands a few minutes before. After I hit the 13k I went up to 80 and cycled between 80 and 100. Hit quite a few hands at 80 and moved to 100. Gave money back at 100 and hit my "step down" point, thus I was back at 80.
- I told the slot attendant who paid me that I was just playing 100 lines and if this had happened there I would have had my first 6 figure hit. I didn't see much sympathy on her face...

Always. However, I've set up self-unlock at my local which has two benefits-

1. No tipping on anything < 10k
2. I can unlock and be moving 2 seconds later after a jackpot.

It's huge. I crushed so many 1-2k hands after I hit that 80k and didn't have to tip on a single one. Old system, I think I'd have tipped off at least another hundo.

LEON does it feel like a redemption for your recent trips to the local and the desert?

Thanks everyone. I think what I mostly feel is lucky. Far more so than any other hit, or even looking at my sun run. The run just sort of happened and it was only looking back on things that of course I would say "OMG I ran so hot". But the immediacy of a lot of the run was gone, since it spanned over a year.

Prior to this hit, my piano and the room remodel were paid for but I was looking back on what was a 300k bankroll and realizing that I'd spent the vast majority of that. The reality is I was short and a few horrific Vegas trips from busto. So this hit feels like a massive save and what's more, it's pure- I have nothing to pay for, already dumped a ton of money in other investments, etc. This is "all mine", so to speak.

Had an interesting day at the local yesterday. Haven't gone much since I hit that 80k three weeks ago, and the times I've been it's been really bad. I started off playing relatively small yesterday, got stuck 4k pretty fast then hit a few small ones in quick succession. I hadn't even activated the auto-unlock jackpot feature yet, so they had to bring me my hits in vouchers.

After feeding all the vouchers in the machine, I had... 4k almost exactly. So I'm basically even. I'm sure a lot of people can relate- it feels completely different to get even with no money in the machine, vs a lot of money in the machine. To me at least, having a bunch of money in the machine makes me feel more flush than is probably justified. But there it is. So I played a few hands at 60 lines then said "meh F it, let's just go to 100 lines". And basically 50 hands later I hit this-



SO. SO. SO PLEASED I made the good "decision" to go to 100 lines!

Kicker draw result-
Spoiler:


Definitely above avg!



This is either my 3rd or 4th biggest jackpot lifetime, I believe my 3rd. After that, I played as big as 100 lines, 50c credits (so 250$/push). I got dealt 3 aces w/kicker twice and 4 to a royal twice at that level- man, it would have been ridiculously sweet to bink 200k. Alas, all of those draws were mediocre- I think I only made one hand come in each time. Played for quite a bit, and unfortunately gave back too much (of course) but it was still a +30k ish day.

To be expected when you are playing at "The Safest Casino on Earth"

Nice hit! What a journey!

Haven't been to the local since I got dealt those 4 aces 100 ways... went today with high hopes. June is already shaping up to be my best ever lifetime month.

Fed in a G and played for a really long time. I've zapped 1k in 20-30 hands more times than I care to remember- this 1k lasted over 1000 hands! 125k coin in off of 1000$, I'll take that for sure. I think I got dealt trip aces 6 times, trip 2,3,4 5 times and made a bunch of hands. Alas, eventually I lost that 1k but I thought to myself "this is still a good result. Even though I'm down, ultimately the goal is to survive long enough to get dealt something huge. Even though I didn't profit, I cycled a lot of hands".

Lost the next 4k in no time flat. THIS I'm more familiar with... I'm considering backing down from 100 lines, when I smash one out of the park-





BOOOM!!!

From that point, I was off to the races. Go to 70 lines, 50c credits, get dealt quads again!

Spoiler:


4s are getting it DONE today!

Result-
Spoiler:



After that, I moved to 100 lines, 50c credits (biggest the machine can go). Didn't hit anything else huge, but I cycled another 1000 or so hands with minimal loss. Ended up booking a 71k win. Bankroll is officially the highest it's ever been- counting the money I've deposited via check, I'm over 350k now. June is almost my winningest month ever, by some margin- 161k+. Really happy I survived Mar, Apr and May- June almost feels like a reward for getting through those months and taking most of May off.



Wish I knew how much cash I had before I left- I would have redeemed one of the vouchers to bring the cash up to at least an even 200k.

Wow! Congrats! Let the sun run continue! The loss in Vegas was definitely not the start of a downswing.
