I treat straight-ups like hardways: one chip for the itch, then back to even money. Keeps the table sane.

Slots, roulette too.

Evolution shifts limits like weather. Roulette speed tables do it too.

If the cap wasn’t sitting right by the claim button, that’s the whole scammy part to me. I’d want to know the dumb specific thing: was this a free chip you used on Roulette, and did the cashier show the cap before you spun a single number, or only after you hit cashout…

"heroic spreadsheet" was me once

Not really "part of poker." Miss your blind twice, post to get back in.

What gets me is the cap, not the headline number. I had one boost hit on a boring soccer line and felt very pleased with myself for about six minutes, then remembered they’d limited the stake so the “big” win bought dinner and not much else. Same flavor as roulette promos with tiny max payouts: they let you feel clever in a very controlled little box. Maybe I’m salty because mine finally landed and still looked small on the withdrawal screen, but that’s the part I’d check first every time.
