After a busy week at work, there is nothing like putting on a baseball game and playing at one of my favorite online casinos. Some folks go to the bars – but that same $20 can provide me entertainment in the comfort of my home. Tonight, I was feeling like some video poker and really enjoy multihand deuces wild. I was playing a 100 hand bonus deuces wild which has a slightly modified paytable favoring low number 4 and 5 of a kinds.

I was playing at a RTG casino. The graphics and gameplay were a little chunky, clearly behind rival casinos. But the casino had some great bonuses and came highly recommended. RTG casinos can be a bit tricky, so when you find a good one, it’s worth playing because they offer such a great variety of games.

I played 20 or 30 rounds of the video poker, winning some, losing some, coming out just slightly behind… About the usual. Until I was dealt a wild royal flush. Paying 25X per hand (across 100 hands) it was a nice $125 hit. After that lucky hand all I could get was simple pairs which were not working out in my favor. So, I played a little bit of the big win back before packing it in for a more mind numbing round of keno and some slots – neither which particularly productive. I ended my session up about $50 – I never complain when I’m up… But to make the evening better, the Yankees won the baseball game I was watching.
