This Steemit ulog is a series of posts based on my day-to-day gambling activities. Basically, I summarize my results and possibly add notes or observations based on what happened on a given day at casinos. You the reader, should feel free to ask any questions or provide any feedback in the comments.

Next-day delays in posting are common due to having no stable schedules in my line of work.


Category Definitions

I split my results into categories based on the type of game and opportunity to make a profit. These categories are:

  • Core video poker: These are video poker games/machines that either has a player edge built-in, or which flips the edge from the house's favor into the player's favor when a promotion is applied. If the game has a progressive on the royal flush and/or other hands, the edge is based on the jackpot(s) being at its reset value. In the absence of any other extraordinary opportunities to capitalize on, I expect to spend most of my gambling time on core video poker games.

  • Other video poker: All other video poker games that are not part of my normal repertoire (e.g. progressive video poker games with excessively high jackpots).

  • Slot opportunities: Slot machines where I know of or perceive an edge in the player's favor. This edge will always be a temporary one except under the most extraordinary of circumstances. Depending on the opportunity, a slot session could be over in just seconds or take several hours to complete.

  • Other gambles: Everything else. It could be results from trying out a new slot machine, or playing other games such as video keno.


Summary Of The Day's Results

Core video poker: Played two single-line machines, both at $1.25/hand, for a total of about 1 hour, 50 minutes and finished at +$295.

Other video poker: none

Slot opportunities: none

Other gambles: I spent about 10 minutes trying a new slot machine that had an excessively high progressive to examine its game mechanics. I finished at -$11.46.

Total: +$283.54 for the day


Notes/Observations For The Day

It was a slow day at video poker due to the only available machines having problems with hold and draw buttons that didn't work well. More important than coming out ahead on this video poker session, is doing well on Thursday's session coming up.
