Bizarro World 2024!

I don’t know about the iron, but the clover is hot!

Clubs are made of iron.



I concede to TripleTriple .

You had a midrange bet on that one. 2800 is your lucky number .

Very strange. Reminds me of 2016 which will never be repeated. Different machines, different games, one DDS and one “ my machine “. Each hit for exactly 18,000 less than 12 hours apart.

A trip to remember. Nice going OLDS.

Thanks again. Off to the Animal shelter later today. Kitty stories welcome any time. They are along with any pet stories a nice divergence from everyday stresses. To them, they live in a real world, while we are in a crazy Bizarro World and not just the Casino.

It won't make you feel any better, but, in an hour and a half, playing 5 line 50c 8/5 BP at the Tropicana Laughlin, I "amassed" the grand total of two normal (125) quads. My coin in was $11160, and my loss was $1700, for a magnificent return of 84.7%!

Au contraire. Misery loves company. I had two hours of hell. Single line, desperation machine switching and short coin play limited my losses/extended my play time. But I am always stunned at 99.1% annihilation. It only takes me one RF to amortize ten bad trips. But where the hell is it?

Agree FAA how would you like to be me no hand pays since September 19 and I go three times a week luckily making up a tiny portion of it now
An easy negative 40k left there since then. Probably recovered 8 k this week. 30 hours a week in play time. Still not complaining. At least I can come and go. At 75 that’s a blessing in itself.

O by the way, unless you play at least 4,000 hands every trip, you aren’t supposed to hit a Royal every 10 trips. Guess you knew that already.

I guess I am not the only one who remembers the tv footage of layers of highway flattening down on each other back then. I think that bad one was in 1989 and near Santa Cruz.

I was young but I remember that during the world series in the Bay Area between the Giants and the Athletics. I remember the t,v, screen tilted and it looked like Al Michaels was leaning into Tim Mcarver's personal space. Very shocking event and sad for all the people impacted. On a present day different topic I think it's a travesty that Oakland A's are in the process of moving to Vegas to a stadium where the old storied Tropicana used to sit. How much entetainment and activity do they have to stuff into the Las Vegas Strip?

I'm waiting and seeing. The Trop was a major presence in its early years from the 1957 opening, but it was then neglected and irrelevant for many years under slumlord ownership such as Aztar and Columbia Sussex.

Not sure how much the baseball will impact traffic. The property is somewhat wedged in against the airport, so only two major thoroughfares are in contact: east-west Tropicana Ave & north-south Las Vegas Blvd. If I'm transiting horizontally, I already avoid the area normally, preferring either Desert Inn to the north, or Sunset Road south of the airport.

Since I have never been to Vegas or Reno, I was just wondering about how far timewise is a trip from the strip to South Point?
