FAA...I saw the title of your post and I thought it was going to be about the ole Maxim fire truck company. They go back to the early 1900's and the last one built was 1989. The reason it is interesting to me is I have a very ole from the early 1900's Maxim ground ladder which is wooden and iron and just the right height to get up and clean the lower section of my gutters. It is so much more stable than the modern ladders. I guess it had to be for the fireman. Your hit and run theory is spot on. Nearly every session, I am ahead at some point. I am trying to train myself to play just either a 2 cent vp game or at most a nickel game when I get ahead, but haven't mentally finished my vp fix for the day. It can still be fun no matter what the denomination. The hard part is sticking to it. I am still working on that. You could literally play a 2 cent game on one line for hours with just a twenty dollar bill. You have the boardwalk to keep you entertained. Unfortunately, most of the outside grounds are off limits at Mohegan Sun and no matter what other entertainment you choose in the casino, the vp or slots are within ear and eysshot.

Or the magazine. I simply don't know either reference above. I spent two solid hours on one super tight machine today with $750 coin in. Like waiting two hours for a pot to boil. I finally got the damn effing quad. But playing scared by then, so only two coins. Result: up a buck on the machine, tired eyes and back. Needed a weightlifter belt or corset for my posture. I cursed out the machine three times, just to relieve the stress. $2 tram for $11 lunch at Tropicana. Won a quick $5 there on playable $1 JOB and walked back to Caesars. Of course more JOB. Hit a quad for $14 gain. Kept playing, gave it back plus $15. I made $30 after trip cost. Okay considering I lost $25 FP table bet. Key to leaving a winner is circumventing craps. Woefully snakebit on felt. Maybe I should have stayed on that $1 Trop VP. A Tropicana RF would be nice for the bucket list. Wish I knew when to quit. If the damn Progressive is a lousy $1,010, you should probably skip it entirely! Yawn. Bob Dancer mentality would serve me well when I see this paltry sum. Earlier I got a quad on Caesars $1 JOB, but only $3 net win after my $29 dwindled to $7. Even with the insane two hour icebox grind, it feels good not to get screwed again on craps. I hope to have gotten it out of my system. 1.4% house edge indeed.
