Feeling Lucky?

Post » Fri Sep 24, 2010 6:29 am

Ok. Every so often, while gambling you receive a "You are feeling lucky" in the top right corner of the screen where it displays the most recent winnings/losings.

To date, despite A LOT of gambling, I have been unable to determine whether or not this actually tips you odds of success in any way. Any thoughts?

Do you mean the "you feel lucky, you win!" text?

Ummm.... I think so. But note that normally when you win (or lose) at blackjack, slots, or roulette a message appears at the top right of the HUD display: "you win # of chips" Instead, every once in a while, maybe once every 20-30 plays the message changes to: "you are feeling lucky, you win # of chips."

I wonder if the change in display message reflects a change in luck?

One time I got the "lucky" message I upped my bet and got three blackjacks in a row. Another time, I lost three hands in a row. Just coincidence? Any other experiences?
