Bro Kia,

Though I am not a JP fan, I enjoy reading your posts.

Better luck on your next trip. Huat Ah!

[Mindless]

Picked another 5D machine using my BR, gone case and another one also gone, luck has gone so in the end burnt all my br and returned home with an empty hand. Took 3 hours to win $3k+ but less than 2 hours to burn $5k+

Hi Kia,
Do you usually start at SS? I tried once and I was scared until I dont dare to do it again. Being stubborn, I tends to play until feature comes. For that once I tried, I used up all my BR on that SS to just trigger the first feature, which is rotten by the way. Sometime, I will also start with COE, again, my past experience is not very good (more downs then up).

Also just curious for 5K/5D, what feature free games do you usually pick? I used to be a 10-15 free games player, but recent few months, I am more like a 15-20 free games player. I suppose the reason why I leaning on the left side is because my bets are now more on the right (300-450 cr). I figured that if I can get a full house, even if it is a X5 or X8 multiplier, it will still be a substantial payout, plus a higher chance of retrigger.

Cheers.

I like to have a little warmup before I "cheong" to my favoruite Aristocrat games. The win/lose amount is between $200-$300 for an hour play. I consider this as a way of self discipline coz it extends my playtime.
I am not a big fan of IGT games and all I know about IGT game is that most of the time we've got miserable payout from a bonus round and a sudden surprise from a full page of stack wilds.
I don't bet high on IGT unless I have a very thick BR and have the mood to play it. Most of the time, I bet min but adjust my denom to 5cts or 10cts.

Base on 300 and 450 cr bet :
My no 1 choice to pick my FIRST feature spin of the game is 15 free spins and the next one likely to be 13 if the 15 free spins hit at least a FH (any symbol). If nothing happen inside a 15, 20 will be the next or give up the machine if there are other 5d/5k available.
The usual way, I do not repeat the same pick, ie, 15 and 15 or 13 and 13. Usual 15 followed by 13 or 15 followed by 20. However, during good timing, I go for 15, 13, 10 and then 13 and 10.
You are right bro mindless, to a 300 or 450cr player, all he needs is just one FULL HOUSE symbol with a multiplier during the free spin, this is good enough to keep him carry on. As for re-trigger, it usually take place when your machine does not trigger any feature after more than 300spins.
One more thing that you may like to take note, if you keep having coin on reel 2,3,4, be cautious, this is not a very good sign. Although sometimes it may be a false alarm, however most of the time this is a sign of bad timing, just be careful.

Thanks for sharing.
Some people are wary of full house scatter-cos they believe that there will be no more payout thereafter.

My logic of coins in reel 2,3,4 is that it spoils the spin and little chance for full house. Anyway, it's all luck and timing. At times, the machine is full of features but no payout means that one will still lose. On the other hand, a machine that is stingy on features may just give a very good feature and make my day.

People say nu人心，海底针。I think JP machine is even more hard nut to crack.....hahhaha.

Cheers.

I was wrong to believe that once the machine hits 5 scatters, it will no longer payout there after. I play 5d and 5k for so long, yes, a 5 scatters feature usually do not pay well but it doesn't mean the machine will run into bad timing. Sometimes, we should give the machine a "chance", let it shows you what's going to happen soon, there may be a big surprise ahead. So, don't giveup too soon when you hit 5 scatters next time.

Playing a machine with lots of feature yet no payout is better than facing a 500x no feature machine. Even after 500 spins, there is no guarantee that the payout will be good, so I rather have machine that have lots of winning tune, it surely more enjoyable.

I mentioned before JP machines are "FEMALE" which they have menses every month, during that few days, they are in super bad mood (super bad timing) and killing players with no mercy.

I have being going to rws 60 over times since may 2012 after i have unbanned myself.

i would considered myself as small timer with limited bankroll of 200-350 each time playing min.bet.for all lines.

I notice rws slot are not so generous as before for.the bonus feature. a 2 cent mach can payout give max $30 and 5 cent give max $60 payout.

In the past, 5 cent.machines can pay up to $120 with min bet.
Do u guys find rws slots are very tight as compared 2 years ago?! just my 2 cent..

If you ask me about RWS Aristocrat games, they are almost the same since Feb 2010 which I know many do not agree with me. .

maybe my luck sucks and 9 of of 10 trips end up with losses and all my small losses had being quite cumulative in relative to mount up to almost 10k in just a few months.. of course 10k may not mean much to some members here....

Hmmm ... that sounds like my scenario on the lousy luck/timing part
Except that my losses are 10x more on my annual levies sighzzzzz
AND I've also yet to win a DECENT amount like at least >8k not even once in any of my trips [not to say even $20k-50k like some of you here - can't have that 'winning' feel/experience ]

My feel is that the slots are much tighter at both MBS and RWS compared with my INITIAL trips ....

Anyway, got back Sat night from my trip
Pampered myself this time round with very satisfying shopping of branded bags in Italy - 1 Dior (since Chanel didn't have what I wanted) + 1 Prada + 2 Miu-Miu + 1 Gucci = 5 handbags !!!
Plus smaller items such as wallets/pouches from Furla
Even managed to get bargain Cole Haan shoes in Dubai
I'll probably need to sell-off a couple of bags as I went somewhat overboard with the much much cheaper prices found there
Nothing like good old retail therapy
THo' there were others who bought so much more than me with their numerous orders from self, friends & extended family .....

TIP : Do not go for Europe shopping during the 1st-week October PRC Holiday as the China tourists would have cleared out most of the outlets & boutiques - literally fighting with them over the stock/items !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, so agree with u here bro kia. When the timing is not right, it doesnt matter u insert it $100 or $5000. It eats all.
But when the timing is right, it pays so well.

My simple report at LW:
Last monday 9pm to 6am lost $1.2k. It was ATM winning $500+ (this is the good timing) before i decided to go toilet at 1am and it turned to cash deposit and eats all.
Last wed 9pm to 6am won $3.4k
Consider a generous night. Won $400+ at 50L, then go 6th floor tried 2c CSY 300credits (hardly play this big) and hit feature. Choose wrongly 10games instead of 13. Didnt pay anything for the first 8, then came 5fishes x30 happy like bird won $5k+ (my first time win this much from a feature)
Take a coffee break. Play 5K 450credits (bad timing+greedy+hipnotised+over confident) hit feature pays $300.lost $3k
Move to another CSY play 600credits, hit feature with FH Ace x10. Win $1.2k.
Call it a night at 5am. Sleep for an hour. Back with first ferry at 6am. Happy + tired like hell (tmr gotta work my dayjob)

[aurvandil]

I asked because I was wondering how you make it work on such a small BR with the levy. Based on the above, ah gong already makan you $3k. You might want to consider going less but have a larger BR for each trip. The only way your style of play can work in the long run is if there is no levy. Alternatively, you might want to consider switching to a monthly Genting trip with a larger BR and the benefit of the strong Sing dollar.

Annual levy after 10 single day levy..

I am not working at the moment thus my br is low..

Sunday trip report - Lost $5.5k

Morning section intital won $3.5k. The winning came from all the 2cts and 5cts 5K machines at PS area. With the $3.5k + $3k Br in my pocket, I've lost my discipline once again.
My intention was to try out every 2cts 5D at PS area before I go home ended up each machine took 200-300 spins to hit a rotten payout like 5000cr - 10,000cr ($100-$200) with max bet. $9 per spin, 100 spins cost me about $500 and 200-300 spins simply burnt off $1-$2k and in return of $100-200. I burnt of my 3.5k winning at 3 different 5D machines ( the 4 in straight row together with 3 FK), bloody hell, I am not going to touch that 4 machine in near furture, SH*$#T!
Then I started with my BR and luck seems gone, I went back to 5K machines thought I can get feature pretty soon but none of the feature payout well, in the end, burnt off 3k BR.

Evening section.
Not the mention much, continue the same faith, 167 trip.

Monday Trip report - Won $3k+

Not many players on Monday, first machine 2cts 5K and 5D, played 2 machines at the same time bet only 60cr. Was a little worry because of previous day bad experience plus only brought $1k BR so told myself do not cheong 300cr or 450cr. After spending an hour with the 2 machines with same credit amount 15k credits inserted, 5K credits grew up to 40k and 5D has done. So, I gaveup 5D and played only 5K, increased bet to 150cr, credits went up to 70k, increased to 300cr, hit a pretty good one payout 60k cr, round up credit balance to 120k and left.

Walk towards my favorites 5cts 5k, started with 150cr bet, hit feature within 70 spins but payout only 6k+ cr. No gain no lose. Did not feel like continuing the machine so switched to 2cts 5D next to it. Bet 300cr and spinned for 100x with no feature, $400 gone.
Switched to 5k next to it, bet 300cr and spinned 100+ times and hit feature + a re-trigger, total payout 95k cr.
Returned to 5cts 5k, bet 150cr and hit feature within 100 spins but payout still so so, less than 10k cr.
Once again, back to 2cts 5d, pressed for more than 200+ ( with the previous 100 spins), total 300+spins to hit the first feature, by then burnt off about $1k. The first feature payout 20k+ cr and hit another feature withn the next 10 spins, the machine has turned HOT, feature hit almost every 30 spins with 20-40k cr payout, I had my credit balance from 170k cr + grew all the way up to 280k cr ($5,600). Very happy with my winning and I was about to leave, but when I think I have not enough with my favourite 5cts 5K, I stayed for a little while and this little while took me almost 4 hours ! Not a good decision indeed.
150cr bet all the way, first feature took 300+ spins to hit (burnt $1k), when such situation took place, I am trapped to the same machine coz I have turned a little "ti ki". I don't believe the game needs another 300x to hit a feature. This is the most Terrible and Wrong way of thinking which I always tell people to giveup the machine when it doesn't pay, but sometimes I trapped myself in such situation too. Sighzzz....shame of myself. The second feature took another 600+ spins (another $2k gone) and paid a rotten egg!!! imagine how tiki i have turned ?? 3+ hours, 2 features, rotten payout, credit balance 110k cr ($5k+) left 50k cr ($2.5k). Holy shit! probably going to repeat the same faith as yesterday, win but didn't run and burnt all winning and br. I took a little rest and had a cup of hot tea, went to the toilet and applied a few drops of eye moisturizer and returned to my "battle field". I finally hit a pretty good feature, FH Lu x8 and other combi payout 45k cr ($2k+) and I continued, another 200+ spins, no feature and I told myself to get the hell out of there fast as possible !

I will never have a chance to visit Europe or Las Vegas but thanks to your tips anyway.
I saw on TV News that more and more branded boutiques sales personal in Paris are learning Mandarin to serve their PRC customers. The news aslo interviewed a KNS young PRC (Fu Er Dai aka 2nd Gen) in a LV a shop who claimed spening US20-30k to buy some "small gift" for his friends in China.

I really hope one of this cruise ship LW or SC or whatever introduce a 1N CNW schedule so that I can visit them. Where's LongJie, bankrupt liao meh ?

Hi,
I was there before you in the afternoon. Played the same 3 machines you mentioned (2c5K/2c5D/5c5D). Didnt do well and too scared to continue. Played a 2c 5D in FFF. Hitting a number of features on 300cr. A girl was playing next to me on 150 cr. She hit a Fish FH X8. Mine was so so payout despite I have more features than her. But I did recover my BR.

Subsquently, I was too aggressive chionging a standalone 5D that just dont give feature at all. Shit, I went headon and finished all my BR.

Sigh.
