Nice hit but why did you leave immediately? Did you have a dental appointment or something>? I always take exactly 15% of my jackpots and try again because I seem to hit my jackpots close together. But then, I am a very disciplined player.

No on the dental appointment. I said that I left ALMOST immediately after getting paid. I put $300.00 back in after dropping back to to .50 denom. and I felt that was enough. I too - am a pretty disciplined player.

No comment on the Joliet region?

No problem, just seems strange that of everything you might have written, you wanted to make it clear that you left immediately. Almost like you wanted to make sure we didn't think that you kept on playing until most or all of the jackpot was gone. No worries, we didn't think that.

I have not been to Joliet in many years. Definitely not anyplace special. But each to their own.

No problem. Next time I go to play I'll be sure to punch a time card just for you.

Yep, it doesn't get any easier when getting dealt quad 3's. No practice required on that hand.

Good luck to you.

I had to meet a coworker this morning in Joliet, right down the street from Hollywood Casino. I was about 45 minutes early so I decided to go into Hollywood and play for 30 minutes. As fate would have it, they did not open until 7:30 am so I left.

After meeting my coworker and giving them some paperwork I then decided to go back to Hollywood for a little bit. I came to my senses and remembered that I had $115.00 in freeplay at Harrah's, Joliet so I decided to go there instead.

I found a friendly looking video poker machine and seeded it with 1k, telling myself that I would set a loss limit of $500.00. I started playing ACJP, not making much forward progress I switched to TDB. Within a minute of switching:

This put me up $700.00 and happy with this, I cashed out and decided to try $200.00 in a Buffalo video slot machine and after getting down $45.00 I got into a bonus and:
