I was itching to put my two trip win streak at risk and had the choice of Fri 11/11 or Sun 11/13. On account of Nicole remnants and traffic, I opted for Sunday. Rolled under the "Welcome to Atlantic City" sign around 11am, made my usual stop in Brigantine and back over the inlet bridge to the hotel. I was booked in Atrium Suite but didn't check in right away. Scanned card for promotion and waited at a machine on the floor outside the Cove. Began play and within the hour was down around six bills. Decided to take a break and do some reconnaissance.
Ended up at my familiar bank of machines inside the Cove and began "feeding the animals". Along about 20 minutes later and halfway through the BR, I was blessed with my first dealt SF-
After taxes out, I had some moderate luck and maxed my bet. but soon was down almost back to even and had to play at $2. Fortunately I was able to draw this from a pair-
More taxes out and a check this time! I can't be trusted. I ordered a drink and took a breather without getting up. Up the denomination again and a little while later, this-
Took taxes out but asked for cash to continue assault. Played at $5 for as long as I could but eventually had to step it back down. Don't you know within 20 minutes I get this-
Oops, I did it again! Now my wallet had identical twin checks. Back up to Abe credits for a while, and after a poor streak once again decided to back off. It's amazing how quick a thousand goes at 50 bucks a hand! (though the Tier credits do go up quickly). Promotion over and about to call it a wrap, I got this tease-
I was well over 4000 TC and really wanted 5000 to get the 10,000 bonus but I was STOOPID and left the Cove and blew over $1500 at a different machine. Took a break to eat at the Laurel Lounge and make the rounds. I did check into my room 14th floor, but only stayed for 30 minutes. I went back to the Cove, but my seat was filled. If I hadn't have left, I might still be there! Five hand-pays at same machine in 3 hours. I didn't stay the night, figured I'd beat the AM rush. Finished with 4400 or so TC. Needless to say I'll be loaded for bear for this weekend, when I put my three trip streak on the line.
Here's the one that "got away"- Good Luck all!
