Harrah's Joliet 8-11-18 - on FULL Tilt
Posted: Sun Aug 12, 2018 9:18 am
So I decided to head over to Harrah's Joliet on Saturday night after enjoying two of my favorite Gary Cooper movies back to back on TCM: Pride of the Yankees and Sergeant York. Feeling confident after these two uplifting movies; I set out and was promptly cleaned out of my $1,500.00 after just 1 hour. I had a couple minor hits but nothing that could sustain my play.
Out of character I went on full tilt. I left and stopped at a local atm to withdraw another $1,000.00 and I then went to Hollywood Joliet. I figured if this was going to be the day I went down in flames, then this was the day.
After sitting down at a familiar bank of All Star II machines I began play at the .50 level. I was playing about 10 minutes and was just about even when up popped this:
This put me in ORBIT!
After getting paid I upped my play to $1.00 denomination and was doing relatively well, hitting small aces, small 2's, 3's, 4's, etc. when I was dealt 3 to the royal and:
All things considered, it turned out to be a very good night.
