I had an interesting experience yesterday at the casino in Niagara. I was playing 5¢ video poker and betting 5¢-15¢ per hand. I was doing alright, steadily losing which was the plan, but on several occasions, the would help me bid $1.50 per hand; the weird thing about that is that when the machine did that, I invariably got a good hand: full house, 4 of a kind, or 3 of a kind! That was really, really weird. After a while I was paying close attention to make sure I wasn’t pressing any miscellaneous buttons by mistake but everything was status quo!
