Busto draino...
Tonight not much happened, which was the problem. Did the usual $500 session roll .25c 5 play deuces. One time flopped trip deuce but could not find the forth. Just kind of drained rather quickly this go around. Unfortunate but expected that some sessions will be like this. Just hoping not often. Did not reload because was just not feeling it tonight. Will live to fight another day. So -$500.
Cheers

Busto draino. Tonight not much happened, which was the problem.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Another misery loves company day. Pretty much my JOB experience yesterday. I did hang around enough to crack the century Tier Credit mark. But we're there for quads, let's face it. Quads or Bust. Unfortunately, it was bust.

One of the quickest sessions I ever had tonight...
Reason why is I never played a hand. The safest way to gamble I suppose :) I put my money in but was seeing all the machines were saying no slot reward. Before I put in a spin one of the workers
Came up to me and said the system was down in the whole casino and didn’t know when it will be up again. I was planning on playing .25c triple deuces this go around and certainly did not want to give up the extra approximate $12.50 an hour in cash back. So I said thank you and pressed the cash out. Instantly the machine started playing a tune like I hit a jackpot hand pay. Slot attendants came up and said what did u win, I said nothing because I never played a hand. They gave me back my $500 and that was that. So, break even tonight boys and girls. I suppose a much better result than last session.
Cheers!

The tide has turned...not favorably.
Took another in the chin tonight, -$500, on .25c triple play deuces. Just too many blanks.
Interesting enough, lady on the same bank of triple play machines on the other side flopped aces with kicker on .25c triple play for $1500 (she told me she was down about -$800 before she hit it...welcome to the double double bonus variance train) and another lady about 50 feet away playing a slot machine hit the grand jackpot for around $10k. I guess it was their night.
Well,Seems my good fortune has surely turned. Although still up overall thankfully, we gave a lot back, too much for my liking, but hey, that’s gambling. I’m Taking some thanksgiving vacation soon and likely not playing much during it and might be a nice break at the right time. Although there is a chance of a last session or two. Unlikely.
Cheers and go hit something.

Wow. Those broads had their own Electric Daisy Festival without leaving the casino. Sounds like the variance train has caught up with you.

Back to battle...
Just got back to work from a nice week vacation. Was a busy night of work and tired so I knew this wouldn’t be a long night. Started with the classic 10/6 DDB .25c single line with Royal at $1095. Probably should of stayed on it, but felt like playing some slots as well. Hit two quad 4’s no kicker and left the game up +$117. Cashed out and took the $100 to play some slots. Decided to sit on a “outback Jack” game with a smiling Aussie as he took my money betting $1.50 a spin. Got a few bonus rounds but nothing much came of them. So...+$17 for this session and next time will not leave the 10/6 DDB game if the Royal doesn’t get hit.
Cheers!

A rabbits foot night...+$2703.75!
I had every intention of hitting hard the .25c 10/6 DDB single line with Royal at $1105. Fortunately, 2 of the 3 machines were taken (rare for 2 am) and I didn’t feel like sitting in between them...so having a feeling after my recent losses on 3-5 play .25c deuces .25c that a Royal May be at the “due” point (no such thing, but way over 45k hands without one), decided to go to battle...it was a good decision.
With a started bankroll of $500, played 5 play .25c deuces. Relatively quickly, flopped 4 cards to a Royal, said my usual prayers, and pressed spin, and on the third line popped the Royal. Nice. But unbeknownst to me, the machine wasn’t done.
I decided to play till I went down to an even $1400, but didn’t happen as literally 5 spins later I flop three to a Royal, took a spin, and on the last line...POP POP, another Royal!!!Yes sir! Up to $2466.
Decided to play to either $2500 or $2400, hit $2503.75 and cashed out! Welcome to the wild world of video poker!
So still relatively early, decided to continue mixing up my play with playing craps, a game I haven’t played for a long time with good reason... but figured I can risk $500 now without any blow back and what the heck, maybe the luck isn’t over...it wasn’t.
Started with me and two other guys. Their rolls were above average, making some points and then crapping out. I like to play a modified “iron cross” play...by playing the field, pass with odds, 5, 6, and 8. This way, any roll except a 7 makes money. The weakness is the early 7 outs will kill yah fast, but a long roll can make you bank quickly. Well...on my first roll it wasn’t good...but on my second roll, hit every number in the board...the 4,5,6,7,8,9, and 10...where was my firepay bet? That roll would of payed 1000 to 1. Damn. But still did well as I profited $500 from the roll and cashed out of that.
Then...decided to cap off the night playing another game I haven’t played in a while...wheel poker. Played 7/5 bonus poker. Started with $300 and hit enough quads and wheel spins to cash out of that up +$200....so all in all, walked out of the casino about 2 hours later up a total of +$2,703.75.
Yowza! Do likewise my friends.
Cheers!
