Been playing the 3 line machine near the tables off and on for the last 2 weeks at the Palms and after about $200 still not one single strike. The worst run I've ever experienced. I preferred the 3 line machines but think its time to move to the single line one. I'm planning on trying again this week...my luck has got to turn...At appx $14 avg per strike I should get about 15 strikes with my first $10 in!! Now that will make my day.
