Sorry to hear that you are losing some better paying VP machines. Thankfully, apparently, no VP machines have been removed from the small casino I go to since it opened in June 2023. Paytables have remained the same. Then again, most of the machines have Keno and many have slot options as well. There are lots of seniors in the area which may help but who knows what the future holds.

Well, this certainly puts a damper on any future MS trip! You must feel as crestfallen as I did when Caesars AC made the beloved 99.54 JOB carousel 6/5. Seems they’re trying to ease VP players out at the setting Sun.

Yep, as old VP players fade away and the young set clings to the bars and dance clubs. Many VP machines just sit idle much of the time. I had another disaster outing last night. Everyone says something just isn’t right, but nobody knows what it is. Sept, Oct, and now Nov, join the ranks as the worst VP losses since I started playing. I’m actually getting to the point where I won’t miss not playing at all. My bank account certainly won’t miss the continued donations. A server I have known for years told me that Bizarro has resumed giving bonuses to them in their paychecks. I guess Bizarro has had their best year ever. I can vouch for that one if my record is any indication.

We must be playing in the wrong states. The high hats are full and overflowing in the Land of Lincoln!

Last-minute decision to head up tonight for an overnight with the Mrs. I couldn’t get a free room so I called my host who noticed that they wanted over $400 for a room tonight and I think she was wavering. I said that’s OK. just take a peek at my play for the last three months and what I have left there and in about 10 minutes, she said you’re all set for a room for tonight. I just checked with my Crystal ball and it said don’t forget to play the Trump card but I’m not sure what it meant by that. It also said if they have installed a bitcoin slot Don’t forget to play it. I was actually wondering about that when the first bitcoin slot machine will appear. they could probably suck in a lot of the younger crowd if they put in a bitcoin, progressive machine. I will let the gang know how the night is going. We probably won’t get up there until eight or nine tonight. I may just play nickel ultimate x DDB bonus with the Mrs. Her track record this year makes mine look like I am still in first grade. Hint….Thats what she taught for 35 years or so. 😬😂😬

Bit Coin hit 98,000 today. They are now predicting it will hit 130,000, but who knows. If I had bought just one share a few months ago, it as of today would have paid for all of my 2024 losses and then some. 😬
