Since our Vegas trip is now postponed until March/Apr, we decided to visit our local charity casino the Hard Rock Tampa. We went at 6AM when the place was pretty empty.
We have never had any kind of consistent luck there, especially on VP.
The wife likes VP but this time she played a little then moved to one of her favorites, Diamond Lotto. I eventually followed her over there. The .25 jackpot was over $2400 which I thought was high. I was not hitting squat so went back to a .25 TDBP machine. Eventually I hit Aces with the kicker for $1K, and soon after, the wife hit the jackpot, which grew to $2700+! She has been playing the same numbers since she hit a $10K jackpot a few years ago. Never changing, like most people do. We walked out about $3500 up. We never seem to win at the same time so this was unique! Our real estate taxes are coming up so these winnings will cover that.
Will we go back? Probably. Will we replicate what we just did? Probably not. Such is the life of casino players....
All way's Against My Better Judgement...Tampa Hard Rock!

Sweet picture. I bet the draw threw you back in your chair a bit?
