Even though we were just "passing through" The California as we were exploring downtown Vegas that day, (and hadn't really planned on doing any filming), this last minute "vignette" was actually a lot of fun, Andrew. Too bad the copyrighted background music prevented normal volume recording, but this unique "on the fly" mini-session gave us both a really good look at what "The Cal" was all about. I really enjoyed all the slant-top video poker machines that they had there, the decent pay tables, and the old school vibe that even featured some real-life coin slots, but in a sleek modern setting. This casino came highly recommended by, Paul & Kanahele, (both friends of Slotmassacre & John's World channels) so I'm sure glad that we took the time to check it out! The casino has a Western/South Pacific theme and the food there is tremendous. I can't wait to explore it again! Thanks for all the fun, Andrew. This casino visit was a wonderful experience. (Not to mention you picked-up a little cash there in the process, as usual). Good Times!😁🙌🙌🌎
@@johnsworldofvideopoker Gosh, I was at the Cal that day (2/24-3/2). I was either playing Pai Pow or grinding away on video poker at Main Street. You guys were playing on the side facing away from the Pai Gow table.
Greetings from Torrance! It's so awesome to see you and John at the California! My family has been going there ever since I turned 21. Hope you got to eat some Saimin or Ox Tail soup! With all of the 2 pairs, straights, and 3 of a kinds, I could tell that the machine was just waiting to pay out. BTW- Torrance hit 97 degrees today. Hope Utah isn't this HOT! Take care!
Here is the California video poker tournament schedule for the rest of the year: June 16-20, July 7-11, August 11-15, November 27-December 1. The actual tournament play days are 2 days between the date range listed. Two rounds of double double single line for 300 games with a 20 minute time limit on consecutive days. 98% of the 200 to 250 entrants finish each round easily. 5 sessions of 50 people per round. I'll repeat the dates, if John posts his play at the Cal too. The dollar denom on this progressive bank of machines is a painful 6/5, which I'm sure you noticed.
Thanks for the info! My family loves the Cal for many reasons(mostly because they have the best Hawaiian food in town!) Any idea what it costs to enter the tournament? Much appreciated!
What a bunch of whiners in this comment section. The recording & sound is almost certainly like that because the casino doesn't allow players to film their live play. He is also probably playing there because of the high Royal Flush Jackpot bonus.
I really don't like the overlay music although, I understand the rules of RUclips. I watch because I enjoy the banter of the players. Perhaps, if possible, enhance your audio and lower the accepted music.
The intro is legit the content. Where is that hit video before? Really confused why this angle is trash and That EPIC 100K hit isnt anywhere but the in the intro... Is this a hit in Vegas for a later video? Someone elses Hit? Hey good Quads HIT but the video Picture is false advertising. Dont be that guy. V/r COOP

I can count on one finger the number of people that I saw playing $5 denom video poker at the Cal that weekend. Slotmassacre will grab the attention of the Cal (in a good way) with that level of play.
The casino has it at 239 because if you hit the straight flush it pays you back $1195.00. No W-2s for taxes. At it's original payback of 250 credits it would pay $1250.00 and you would receive a W-2 and you would have to claim that on your taxes. All jackpots of $1200.00 or more you get a W-2. I personally have never seen 239 for the SF, but I kinda like that they do that.
I've seen slot vloggers set up tripods to record play at the Cal. The Hawaii Craps Shooters have set up tripods (plural) to vlog their play (and even livestream) at the Cal, Main Street and Fremont. Ask for permission to vlog, and they'll probably lower the volume of the music for you, as well.
Bad angle; no commentary, the beginning hit has nothing to do with the video. You can do better. You will do better if you want to keep your channel going. Bc people will drop if this is what they have to look forward too.
To each his own, but I disagree. It may very well be that Andrew was recording on the sly, i.e., the casino does not allow video recording. That aside, commentary or no commentary, I think high limit, $25 a hand VP is worth the watch...especially since the lion's share of other VP content producers play at $.25 cent and below coin-in range, which is about as exciting as watching paint dry.
@@johncarlson6472majority of folks want to hear what he is thinking and want to understand his decision making. That requires commentary. Also it makes him personable and relatable to his followers. Without them there is no channel, you aren’t going to keep anyones attention long enough to subscribe doing it this way. Whether filming on the dL or not. Talking shouldn’t be affected by that.
@@psilver063 You're right, most folks want to hear commentary. That being said, I highly doubt this no-commentary download will be the start of a trend by Andrew.
Well done ! No disrespect but I don’t really watch anymore bc the game you play is boring ! Triple double or double double is way more fun to watch ! Good luck tho ‘
Getting a headache watching from this angle

yeah john was telling me about that :) lol, I know its four days later, but it is currently snowing...wish it was a little warmer than that...
Can’t hear you and I don’t like the angle sorry
I like the 8/5 bonus poker game that pays 2/1 for two pair and 175 coins for any quad. That's a sweet game I wish it was more popular.
That's a good game at 99.66%. Where did you see it? Eureka in Mesquite has it in $1/$2/$5.
@@gregoryschmidt1233 I've seen Bigkats play it before. I don't think I've ever even seen one of those games.

@@paulmiyagishima7655 See the replies to John's post for the answer to your question. I wasn't able to post here yesterday.
Love the Cal. Hands down my favorite place in Vegas for blackjack and one of my favorites for video poker
Made it's way up the list for me!

Good luck Andrew!
$300 in 17 minutes. Not a bad gig!
Finally, good ol' Queens!!!!! I like that the SF pays 239!! Never seen that before.
Fun session keep up the great work out there!
It means nothing if you don't leave with a positive net result. That's the bottom line. Good luck, Andrew.
Finally got it. That angle was awful. I’m sure there was a reason Thanks for the hard work.
Nice hit

I'll let you know :)
Am I the only one who thinks this was clickbait? 4 of a kind with kicker never appeared on the video.
Why is the straight flush 239?
Never mind I’m dumb! Taxes
Love this guy Mr.lucky
Sound is non existent save for the music

What’s the explanation behind a 239 credit straight flush
That is the most oddball number ever

Thank you for the info, I was just walking though and saw a decent game. I will try to plan better next time.

Volume too low
Well done ! No disrespect but I don’t really watch anymore bc the game you play is boring ! Triple double or double double is way more fun to watch ! Good luck tho ‘
ok, mixing it up in a bit.
change the credits to dollars please
I will keep that in mind for next time.
Goofy music really diminishes any pleasure from watching your videos
I always play for the much higher hand, I'll trade a dealt straight for a chance at a straight flush missing 1 card every time. To each their own.
Gotem
Great angle on the camera!🥰
There he goes again for the 50th time showing us the big win from like a whole years ago. We got it dude......move on
Some of the fakest action I've seen. Nice cheering track though.
hahahaha, you didn't even watch the video. 17:19 of the video I show the da m casino.
Boring! I’m done. You wasted 17 minutes of my time
