Re: The Path II
I told a guy preparing to sit two seats away that I was three coining half the time. He said that I’d still have gotten a good payday! People have such low bars. The dollar machines were cold and I was frustrated.

I was so depressed and beleaguered by then, having just spent a hundred minutes pumping $2000 coin in on BP dollar for -$150, an unacceptable 92.5%. I just wanted to catch a quad or two and concede overall defeat. But I bought in on hope that the machine stayed lucky from last week. I quickly dropped twenty before staring at 4RF. This occurs every 2,777 hands. Note the lucky seven trifecta. I was naturally excited, but preparing myself for the consolation flush anyway. I hit deal and waited to deal with the pain. I couldn't even bear to look at the spot. But then I saw the counter underneath it going crazy and realized that the blessed event had indeed occurred! An elderly Asian woman sat next to me. I grabbed her upper arm with both hands. It was the size of my wrist. We bonded. She even said, "Do it again." I assume she meant an RF, not a spontaneous assault. Then I fell onto my knees and on my back in relief. Just emotional closure after so many stressful trips. My 4144 win total felt like a left handed compliment. Three fours, kicker. Hidden message for a higher variance game? I said, "Sorry to reset progressive."
I asked for a check at the cage and handed over my ID. She also requested my player card and asked, "The whole amount?" I nodded and raised their conveniently located "Knowing When To Stop" brochure. She laughed. They printed one, but I had to wait at the brand new deluxe cage section for a second suit to cosign. I had no idea that it was such an elaborate process, but I was too giddy to mind. The janitor said, "How do you like the new area? Nice and bright." "Especially after you hit a jackpot." He fist bumped me. Eventually two suits materialized. They were clearly off to more pressing business and one of them stepped up to sign. I asked for a business envelope and inserted the check and brochure.

A no-look jackpot!
Your detail of the incident did not disappoint. I hope you do. Do it again.

Nice going. October 2019 was my last royal.

No sir, I didn't get no swag - just a W2G, a purty picture, and a $3870 of green.

Terrible Thursday. I won my $25 Caesars table FP on a five point hit. I won $50 on my $25 machine FP with an early quad. Unfortunately, I lost all plus $10 at Resorts. Back to Caesars with a $480 bankroll. I left a hundred minutes later with $437, despite two quads. I was on the fence about pursuing a mystery gift. But it required 150 TCs. Too rich for my blood. I pulled the plug at 75%. I had lost two thirds BR before the big comeback. Net Day: -$83. 112 TCs.
