A wild video poker run in Vegas...

I am the proud member of an incredibly fun-filled Las Vegas message board called LasVegas4Ever. If they had cards, I'd consider myself a card-carrying member.

I spend a lot of time talking to my online friends on the board when I'm not doing family things or updating information here, and I've made some great friends who I'll talk about in another post. Right now, I want to tell you about an incredible run that one of the board members is currently on in Vegas.

His screen name is NMchop, and he left for Vegas last weekend with the intention of staying as long as his money and free room offers would last. He's retired, so he's not too worried about getting back to a job, and it's made for a great story so far. Before he left, he figured he could last at least three weeks with his offers of Free Play and free rooms from various casinos, and a bowling tournament for a diversion somewhere in the middle. The way the story's going right now, he could be there for months.

He checks in with the board every day, telling stories about his gambling wins and experiences from the day before and letting everyone know what his current plan is for his Vegas vacation. He has managed to hit Deuces Wild and four of a kind (4OAK) combinations multiple times on multiple machines, and on multiple days. In addition, he hit a Royal Flush on Thursday which has certainly helped to replenish his bankroll and will help keep him in Vegas for a little while longer. He continues to move around from hotel to hotel, depending on his offers, and I wish him the best of luck for the remainder of his stay.

Here are links to two of the "threads" (online topic conversations) about his incredible luck - with photos included - check them out:

I think it's one of the best lucky streaks I've ever heard of for a non-professional player. Amazing.
