Pechanga Casino: $10 Per Bet High Limit Video Poker 

Thank you, Rick. This session worked out well this time.😅🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I’m glad she liked it. From the video, it looks like she’s part of the crew now!🤣 I am amazed at how focused she is on the game. She’s a very good player! Thanks for everything Paul.😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Pecunious! The most number of Full Houses that I’ve ever hit in 1 hour of play was 21. THAT was crazy! But that’s the beauty of video poker…..its “randomness”. The probability of the pay tables dictates “what” can happen “on average”, but the random number generator says that “anything” CAN happen & it’s great when does, such as: 3 Royals in 3 hours for $110,000 in wins. Video Poker is lightening in a bottle!😝🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Teresita. I’m glad you like them. I appreciate your loyalty to my channel. More to come. I’m already on to the next video. Take care!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker 🥰

That’s such a great way to put it too, “Challenging, but not difficult”. Thank you for your spot-on commentary, John.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Mark & Jo. It would have been nice to spend some time with you at the Palms. Next time!🤞🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Becky. Having a blast learning all these multi-line games with you. Keep uo the great wirk!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Jeff. And you’re right, I feel like I have to duck from pterosaurs, hop the fence away from herding buffalo, and dodge trains coming down the tracks when I’m in a casino nowadays. The noise level between competing machines from different games (all blasting at the same time) is getting way out of hand!😅🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

That was a wild little run of full houses. The most that I’ve ever hit in 1 hour was 21 Full Houses. Let’s hope a run like that comes around for me to catch it on film!🙌🏻🙌🏻😝

@@johnsworldofvideopoker Amen to that, and throw in a royal! 😉

Yes! We could all use many more of those!😂🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Robert, for your gracious comment. I’m glad you’re getting value out of my channel.😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you so much for your thoughtful insights with your comments. I appreciate your attention to detail.😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you so much!

Thank you, Michael.😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Tim. Yes! This session was a different animal this time around!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, John!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you very much, Linda!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Yes! It was so unlikely to have all those Full Houses hit. A pair converts to a Full House once every 98 times held, so they don’t come around that often in such as short session. One time (at Palace Station in Vegas), I hit 21 Full Houses in exactly 1 hour and that has never occurred again since!😅🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I’m not sure as to why either. Double check the Notification Bell…?😢

Thank you, Roy. I’m glad that you liked it!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you. Yes, indeed, John. Walking-up to a win can be just as fun and exciting as hitting a Quad or better. Thank you for making note of that!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Sandra. I appreciate that.😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you! It’s all good. Up, Down, Even. Tolerate the Downs, Be OK with the Evens, and Love the Ups. Video Poker, Video Poker, Video Poker!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Man! The run I had the next day was much better, but I only stopped by and wasn’t filming. I hit Quad K’s, 9’s, 2’s & 3’s!🥴🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Well, the small pair 7’s were the correct long term hold, but, yes, the $800 on the 4 Aces would have added a whole other dimension to this session. Next time!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Oh yeah!!!!😝🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Mark!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Hi, Sal. Yes, that was a different sort of run. I stayed above par, but just couldn’t connect with those quads. Later, the next day, I was playing (but not filming) and I was getting dealt K’s, dealt 9’s, and a set of Quad 2’s & Quad 3’s. Go figure! It was all on 25¢, 50¢, & $1 coin denominations!😂🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I was happy with the “steadiness” of this little run for a quick $500. This kind of “stability” played on a $20 coin denomination would have resulted in a $10,000 win, on a $50 coin denomination, it would have been $25,000, & $50,000 on a $100 coin denomination. This was a good example of how big money can be made on just the “bottom of the pay table” hits without any big hands. If the player scales-up the coin denominations.😉🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Bryan, this time it worked out real smooth!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Yes, indeed. Finally a machine that never really dipped down beliw the starting bankroll threshold. That wss fun, even though no Quads showed-up to put the icing on the cake.🥹🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Mason. I’ll watch your latest video when I get home.😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Hi, Bill. Thank you for your good wishes (on mine) AND Becky’s channel!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

It’s getting harder and harder to find a good quiet area to film anymore. These gigantic slot machines are invading the oeace and quite that’s generally reserved for video poker players in their areas of the casinos. I wonder if they’ll start making huge video poker machines?!😝🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker That'a great idea! :) LOL!

I know, right?!😝🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, as always, Teresita, for your loyal viewership and comments!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Double-up is a 50/50 propostion on the 1st shot, then 25 for / 75 against on the next one, then 12.5 for / 87.5 against, then 6.25 for / 93.75 against and so on. They usually set limits on the number of doubling events. I think 4 or 5 is the maximum amount of doubling. It is fun on occasion, but it eventually catches-up to the player. I have hit 4 doubles before though and it was exhilarating!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

🤣Crazy, isn’t it, what these big machines have become?!!!🤣🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@johnsworldofvideopoker that's why I like Harrahs. Very much out of the way and quiet! I'm 42 and sometimes I need it peaceful to think!

I totally agree! I love the wide open spaces on the back roads to Pala, Pauma, Harrah’s SoCal, Valley View, and Barona. There’s nothing better, my friend.🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Was a great flow on that one.

Missed them Aces by a hair, didn’t I?!!!😝🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

It was fun. Thank you @Bigkats Poker!😉🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Mine too!😉🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you, Yes. And a little nail biting in the sense that I just couldn’t connect with any Quads! Next time!🤣🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Yes, indeed! I wish every session rolled this way!😂🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Not bad for 5 sessions especially on the more volatile DDB game. Sounds like everything was spaced out quite a bit, and it ended-up being a grind for you, but it looks like you “gamed-them” rather well and prevailed against the odds! Good Job!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Thank you so much. And, Yes, it is smoke free and so is Barona in my area too. So nice! I’ll be doing a series on Barona in the near future. Thank you for your loyalty to my channel!😉🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I’m sure Red Rock knows!🤣 But we would have to know how many video poker machines there are, how many hours are played on each machine per day to calculate the average number of hands are played a day. Let’s say it’s 1,000,000 hands played a day. Then divide that by 43,000 hands to get your answer. That would be approximately 23 Royal Flushes a day. But we don’t have the raw data to chrunch the real numbers, but that is an interesting question! Thank you for your question.😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

$700 off of free play is an awesome run. Good show! I’ve been to Resorts in Atlantic City and I liked it’s vintage charm. What kind of pay tables do they have there nowadays?🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker Thanks bud, yeah I know they aren't the most elegant casino in the city, buy I've played them all quite a bit and I prefer the older IGT machines. Most of the casinos in AC have updated their machines and changed they pay tables along with the RNG. I've been playing mostly 8/5 Joker, and I hit on 9/5 Draw Poker on Sunday. My wife hit on a non linked, non progressive 50 cent DDBP, 9/5 game last week. This is at the parking garage end of the casino opposite the board walk. There are some older IGT flat screens down near the table games and a few in the high roller pit, but down at the Board Walk, they are all newer games, I don't recall the pay tables but I didn't do well on them so I stay away. When I used to play at the old Show Boat Casino, the RNG's in the joker poker room were very predictable giving you a straight flush, or two prior to the 5 of a kind. The machines I play now are simular. I even found two slot attendants that used to work there and paid me many times! I usually play the in house linked progressives if they are near a certain dollar amount, otherwise I play any of the older flat screen older IGT machines that generally have a coin denom from 25 cent to $1 bet. I'm fairly certain the high roller pit has higher denom machines with more options. I just can't seem to leave my favorite pit! Why leave if I'm winning, right? 😉

Wow! Thank you for all the detailed notes! And, I have a few favorite old style machines in the casino myself that I like too.😉🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker your welcome! Mu wife amd I were just commenting on the amazing woodwork and craftsmanship upstairs when taking whatbI like to referr to as "The Green Mile" walk to Hard Rock Casino. As I'm sure youbare aware, Resorts is the 1st casino for Atlantic City back on 5/26/78, though the building was constructed back in back in 1904 as Chalfonte-Haddon Hall.

I love all the interesting details that you provide in your comments. Thank you so much for the value of your responses!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I know right?!🤣Thank you, for pointing that out! Even if the “incorrect cards” are held the player can win! That’s what I mean when I say near-perfect play is “good enough”. The player can make mistakes and still come out ahead. Thank you for your comments!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I tell my video poker buddy that sometimes incorrect play can give you more money over the short term, but perfect play will give you more money over time. Nice video John....as always!

Thank you, Kevin. As we go into 2023, I’ll be scaling up the coin denominations. Thanks for watching!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

What a great idea! Imagine if video poker players had gigantic 12ft tall machines at full volume everywhere (from all sides) at all times….people would be p.o.’d! They should have a volume limiter on all those slot machines. Great idea, great comment brotha'. Truth!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Yaamavá doesn’t have good pay tables at the lower denominations and have a very limited number of machines, however their high limit pay tables are awesome! But you’re 100% correct, Pechanga has the best pay tables in Southern California. And I have good news for you too; they’re adding 144 additional video poker machines at Pechanga on December 1st. And you can bet that I’ll be there for the roll-out too!😉🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Hi, Pita. I usually go Tuesdays for sure for my free play, but I live close-by, so I can go there any time, really. You can contact me at johnsworldofvideopoker.com (if you would like to be featured in one of the Intros to my videos). Just reach-out to me and we’ll figure it all out. Have a great day!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I’m glad to hear that someone (besides myself) has been going to Pechanga since it started in those tiny trailers (with only 5 cars parked in the dirt outside) from way back in 1995!!!🤣 Yes! You’re exactly right, where the old buffet used to be!🥹 There’s a bunch of Buffalo machines nearby, plus the ever present and ubiquitous, Caveman Keno, that are in the same rows of video poker machines there. I’m only glad someone wasn’t playing the “even louder and gigantic” 5-Reel Bally’s Quick Hit Machine (against the column, near the center of that room) That machine is truly ear drum piercing loud and overpowers every machine in the area!!!🥵I try not to play in there too much, specifically because, of the noise level. I tend to play in the larger area (not far from Bamboo) that some of the locals are starting to refer as, “John’s Corner”!🤣 But, I also like the row of 13 machines outside the High Limit area on the main floor (but they have Buffalo over there too: Holy Cow!!!) Also those Big Fu Cashbats Dragon machines in the same vicinity have such loud drums and choo-choo train type noises, that they have blasted me out of that area all together. I like the little video poker alcove nearby and the High Limit room as well. I go all over the place! Thanks for watching!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker OK, I'll check it out, but, like you, I hate those loud machines. The caveman is really bad, but overall the noise of keno machines are all around annoying. I usually play the old triple play machines in the high limit room. Very quiet!

Oh, Yes! Those machines along the wall.😉🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

Yes! I had an unexpected quick trip to Vegas with Slotmassacre, so I had to postpone the launching of my continuation video from Pechanga. Hopefully, I can launch it this Friday, after Thanksgiving.😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

I think that means that, Teresita & her husband, need to visit Southern California and drop-in on, John’s World of Video Poker, one of these days!😝🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker I would love to come by and see you at Pechanga! But that would only happen in my dreams 🤗

Well, you just never know. I may pop-in to your casino one day and play video poker with you!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker That would be a dream come true🤗

It all depends on what your goals are for any given session, particularly in the context of wether you’re “up” or “down” for the year. This year, I have not won or lost a whole lot either way. So in terms of “risk tolerance” for the remainder of the year, my goal is to conserve bankroll, so I can start-off Big in 2023 (even more so for the sake of my viewers on the channel). I want 2023 to be Big & stay big throughout the year. Over time, if you take a “goal-oriented” approach to each session, you video poker discipline will more than likely give you better results overall. Great thought provoking question! I appreciate that and your viewership!😉🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎

@@johnsworldofvideopoker great insight and a very thorough answer. Thank you
