I recently returned from Vegas. I hit a straight flush as a 25 cent machine (no quads). Yay!

I also wanted to pass on this tip: Always take a look at the VP machines that you're playing. At the Plaza, I was playing what I thought was a 9/6 $1 Jacks machine. Turns out that the Royal with 5 coins only pays $2,500! At the Riviera, I thought I was playing 8/5 Bonus Poker, but then I noticed that there were no bonuses for any of the quads. It was called Bonus Poker, but it was actually 8/5 Jacks.

Learn from my mistake. Pay close attention to the machines.

A cousin of mine recently told me about her trip to Vegas and mentioned a similar experience. She was playing an 8/5 Jacks or Better machine. It read "Bonus Poker" on the glass, but it only paid 1-for-1 for two pair. She was not pleased. When told about it, management gave her some vouchers and told her they would look into it.

As Deuces Wild said, always look at the payoff.
