Some of those tournament machines seemed "hotter" than others. I
scored around 10,000 in the morning session and about 16,000 in the
afternoon. I was watching someone play my afternoon machine and I
noticed it was hitting 7-7-7 jackpots frequently. That continued when
I played it, otherwise I'd have finished out of the money.

Oh well. A few years ago I went 0-for-6 in the first blackjack
matchplays I tried. I've had better luck with matchplays since then.
But it can be really annoying to win a $5 matchplay, then lose one for
$20.
