Lucky in Louisiana

[clanford5]

Mr L and I decided to try our luck in Lake Charles this weekend.  Left Friday after work for an overnight stay (comped) at the Isle.  Checked in about 8:30 pm and off to L'Auberge to use our coupon for 2 free buffets.  The buffet line was long, so we decided to gamble a bit before dinner.  Mr L only plays slots, but spin poker is my favorite. 
 
The bank of spin poker (.05, .10, .25, $1) was full, so I waited till one was open and started with $100 and max bet .10.  During the hour I played before we went to dinner I was dealt 5 K's, dealt FH 3 times and got the 5 A's on the draw 4 times. Then dealt me D, D, D, A, J - I held the 3-D's & A, hit draw and it gave me another D!!  Paid $600.00,  4D & A - 3 ways.  Cashed out my before dinner ticket ($702), found Mr L and went to dinner.
 
After dinner, back to the same spin machine to try my luck again.  I started with $100 and max bet .10.  The second hand was dealt 5 - 8's, so I changed bet to max bet .25 - casino $$ so why not, right?  The machine was playing hot and winning consistantly.  About 30 mins into my play I was dealt D, D, 4, J, A - I held 2 D's & A, hold breath, draw and get another D & A!  Paid 2445 quarters = $611.25.  Played another 30 mins or so and cashed out $1,013. 
 
Back to Isle for the night and to try their spin poker machines.  Isle machines were dead, no hits on spin, multi hand .05, or progressive vp. Mr L lost all night long, so we called it a night.  Off to bed with a nice bankroll, thanks to LB.
 
On way home Saturday, we stopped at Delta Downs.  Mr L only plays slots and was on a losing streak all Friday night.  I suggested Delta so he could try his luck and gave him more $$.  I am not much of a slots player, but decided to be a good sport and try a few machines.  I got on a .05 Monopoly progressive game w/ random bonus's (3 rows across, 5 columns).  Started w/ $40, playing $2.50 spin and got a bonus.  Never having played this before, I had no idea what was going on.  The monopoly guy came out and hit bells that made the entire column wild.  Well, he gave me wild's on the last 4 columns and with what had landed on the first column = win 14850 coins = $742.50.  After that I max bet ($5), and kept playing.  I proceeded to get 2 more bonus's, a 5000 coins ($250) and  a 5825 coins ($291.25).  Cashed out $1100, found Mr L (still on his losing streak) and left.
Now any sane person would head home, but no....  back to L'Auberge we went.  Yes my suggestion - vp was pulling me back!!  I got back on my bank of spin poker (.05), put in $200 and played max bet for 2 hours.  No big wins this time, but cashed out my ticket for $185, found Mr L (still losing) and went home.
 
It was nice to pay back the bank and stash some of the casino's money for our Biloxi trip (courtesy of a Beau Rivage free trip offer) at the end of the month.

Lucky Larry,
 
I expect to see some winning pics from you and Mrs L this weekend! 
 
I haven't figured out how to post my pics on forum, so you will have to show me how it's done.

C,
Didn't get pic of Ms. L's progressive Aces with Kicker this week but it came 5 minutes after she told me she was going to hit it. She had already hit 2 dealt quads on multi-hand 5¢ earlier in the evening.
