[vpFREE] Re: $2,478.25 royal on .25 progresives!!!!!!!!!!

FPDW has a high convenience factor, they are available 24/7 and you can start and stop whenever you want (plus they have an attractive N0 for people who track that statistic). Progressives and Piggy Bank slots are an entirely different animal, more like game hunting. You are tied into the cycles of the game, you have to spend a lot of time scouting, most of the game you spy will not be worth loading a round and you have to develop a sense of when in the future a game you spy may be big enough to try to take down, and when you spot a potential trophy, you have to stop everything else you're doing and try your best to take it down, only stopping when the game is down. Most players don't even see this aspect of the game, the hunt is rarely on and it's often over so quick there's little evidence that it even occured. So it's standard to hear one person say I'm here all the time and I've never seen that jackpot over 1200 while another person says, that's funny, it gets over 4000 on a regular basis. Neither are lying, they are just looking at a situation from different angles. The game probably does get over 4000, just not that often and when it gets there it doesn't stay around for long. When the big game shows up, the big game hunters also show up seemingly out of nowhere, and just like that the game is down. Sometimes a bartender will tell you stories of the hunt.
