Ameristar Casino - St. Charles, MO
I've never posted before, and I'm certain this isn't the best jackpot in the world, but it was for me on Monday, Sept. 24.  I was tired of playing vp for 4 days, so I segued to a penny machine my niece had told me about - Quick Hits/Stars and Bars.  I put a 20 in.  Shortly thereafter, I had a bonus round.  Then a bonus round within that bonus round. Before you know it, a prompt came up on the screen:  "Call Attendant - Hand Pay $3,237.07."   I almost flipped.  The casino took out MO taxes, and I ended up going home with a check for 3101.07.  Feeling rich, and since we were flying back to MD that afternoon anyway, I headed for a quarter Triple Play DDB.  On my last pull, I was dealt 4 Aces.  Hit a kicker on the middle hand for a $900 hit.  What a wonderful end to a great trip.

Terrific hits, Munrosm.    I, too, enjoy playing those Quick Hits slots occasionally. They are a lot of fun, and in your case, quite profitable.

Thank you Marie, Billyjoe and Lucky Larry for your kind thoughts.  Yes, the $$ I won went to the bank Tues. morning to be deposited into my "mad money" acct., which funds all my gambling forays.  I'm still feeling the glow.

Larry, I can see why my niece, who is as addicted to VP as I am, chooses to play this particular game occasionally.  I will give that game more attention on our next gambling trip.  YouTube has some great winning videos - none of them on Stars & Bars, so that is my secret!!

Boopsahoy, it was, indeed, great fun.  My husband has more fun and luck on penny machines than I do.  What a surprise, after penny machines off and on for months (at his request), to have what I consider a monster hit.  Thanks for your thoughts.Sharon
