The Legend of BJenkins
I love to win. It is for this reason that I will not play poker machines. How Sir Losealot and his band of (not so) merry gamblors can get enjoyment out of feeding a machine I will probably never understand. I mean seriously how can you win at a game which is specifically designed to take your money? Yes, it’s a scam!
The purpose of today’s post is not to gloat and boast at my own self discipline however, but to acknowledge a man (whom I have never met) by the name of Brett Jenkins. As legend has it Brett walked into the casino with $9 and left $27,000 richer. How did he do this? As the tale goes he was down to his last 50c and was playing a Queen of the Nile linked to Train Jackpot machine. Brett was playing Max Bet by 1 line when his luck turned. A feature was triggered. Then four golden heads and a Cleopatra substitute aligned perfectly on the middle line. The pay was $1,200! Not bad at all for a 25c spin. This max bet by one line style of play has from then on been known as BJenkins.
Mr Jenkins then went on to turn that $1,200 into $27,000 by pushing his luck to the limit in Blackjack and horse races, however it is the BJenkins credit management style that made him famous among pokie losers all over Australia.
After hearing the story I decided to put aside $100 for “research” purposes in a hope to replicate this extraordinary accomplishment. The plan was to put either $10 or $20 in a machine and play it BJenkins to see how often it would pay on the middle line. The results were quite surprising. Nearly one in three machines paid 5 of a kind on that middle line.
Although I never got a pay anywhere near Brett’s $1,200 effort one of my pays (5 eyes) covered the initial cost of the experiment plus more. Once getting a BJenkins pay I would take a picture with my camera phone of the achievement. Here are the 5 of a kind pays:
5 Octopuses BJenkins
5 10s BJenkins
5 10s BJenkins
5 Qs BJenkins
5 Eyes BJenkins
Sir Losealot assures me that he once got the same 5 Golden Heads on Queen of the Nile playing BJenkins in the feature also. The picture exists on a long lost microSD card and once he finds it I’ll be sure to add it here.
If you are playing the Max Credit by 1 Line a helpful hint would be to play a higher denomination machine. For example playing 25 credits by 1 line on a 1c machine pays less than playing 5 credits by 1 line on a 5c machine, even though it is the same type of machine and costing you the same amount per spin. This trick was submitted by The Smearbird.
In conclusion although playing BJenkins thus far proved a profitable success I daresay my beginners luck contributed to most of it. Whether the story of Brett Jenkins is 100% true I do not know. What I do know is if you continue to play poker machines you will lose in the end; and that definitely isn’t good.
