The Shark - Progressive Video Slot - Play and Run Session #3
For session #3 of Play and Run, I chose the Shark progressive video slot. The Shark is a really basic slot machine, offering a combination of relaxing, aquatic-themed music and penny bets. Yes, I played penny slots for 9 line, 5 coin bets. That means I wagered $0.45 on every click of the spin button.
This session was a lot longer than Lightspeed. It lasted 34 pulls. I began with a 30 cent win, then strung together 4 losses in a row. I won 9 of the next 10 pulls, but that only grossed me $3.15 all totaled. A loss and a win and three more losses were followed by 4 out of 5 wins, but only for minor gains. I finished the session with a string of 4 naked pulls interspersed with 4 wins, including a $1.80 win.
All of that sounds like an impressive win total, but it really didn't amount to jack. In my four minutes on The Shark slot machine, I lost $5.10.
Frankly, that isn't very good.
That's eight losing sessions in a row. I kind of wish John Patrick had rules about walking away after a certain amount of naked sessions. But he doesn't, you know.
All I can do is continue with the Play and Run strategy. Good strategy overcomes bad tactics, and all that kind of stuff. As John Patrick said, "It ain't how much you win at poker. It's how little you lose."
Damn, that's pithy.
