OMT, Hope you do just as well at the Four Queens and arrive home with a substantial bankroll for your next trip.

Well, we're still doing OK. Yesterday, at the Four Queens we played a long session of 50 line 5c deuces wild bonus. I was down $200, and my wife $100.

After dinner we decided to play off $300 of slot play on 25c single lie 8/5 bonus poker. We had previous played $200 of slot play on those same machines and came out up a combined $150 or so.

This time, after a prolonged slide in the wrong direction for me, I was, for the sixth time in my casino life, dealt a royal. I finished the session up $1050. It is a bit frustrating, considering that most of my play is on multilines, to have the dealt royal come while playing single line, but you have to take what you get.

Today has not been great for me. I'm down $700 on the 50 line deuces wild game.

My wife, however, went over to Circa to play with a friend, and had a great quad filled 50c bonus poker session, up $675.

Continued good luck to you both, OMT. My outlook on royals, most likely mirrored here by many, is that I don't care when they hit, just...hit.

Keep enjoying your trip.

I care when they don’t hit on max coin.

Or, what you don't get.

Well, there is one way to fix that…….Actually two. The first one is obvious. The second one is to come up to Bizarro world and play a 800 for bet one or 940 for bet one Machine. I can’t find you a 99 percent one, but plenty in the high 98s. And dozens in the 97s even for a nickel game. It’s not perfect, but you can actually sit there and take in any number of games on big screens, chill with a free beer of your choice, brought to you by adorable and super friendly waitresses, all while plunking away 5 cents at a time on an 800 for bet one machine.

OMT congrats on the dealt Royal. I think it has been 5 years and millions of hands since my last one, but I managed a redraw one at Bizarro a few weeks ago. Also congrats to the Mrs. We are having some real Canadian cold mornings here. Anywhere from 4 degrees here to -13 depending where you are in Ct. Slight improvement today. We started out at 8.

It's not exactly toasty here in Las Vegas now, either. The mornings are very cool (it's currently 34 degrees outside). It is predicted to reach the high 50s this afternoon.

I guess I was pretty tired when I wrote that. Our day was somewhat better than that. I was down only $400, and my wife had another positive session on 50c bonus poker (I'm not quite sure how much).
