Our flight back to Buffalo on Southwest Airlines went well. It left on time, arrived on time, was smooth for most of the time and, unusual for a Southwest flight, was only about half full, providing lots of room to spread out.

We are now at Seneca Niagara, but haven't played here yet. Our totals for the trip so far are plus $6200 for me, and down $2150 for my wife. If you had told us before the trip that we would be up a bit over $4000 at his point we would have been ecstatic.

One other thing of note. Our five days of play at Tropicana in Laughlin, plus daily tier credit bonuses, plus a tier credit multiplier promotion, gives us a tier credit total for 2025 to date, of just over !16,000. It looks like making 7 stars again won't be too difficult.

Congrats on being on the plus side, OMT. Good luck to you both at Seneca.

Glad you are back from Nevada with more money than when you arrived there.

Unfortunately, Seneca Niagara did its best to erase that surplus. In contrast to our previous trip where our Seneca results were excellent, they were brutally awful this trip. My wife quit after an hour and a half, down about $2100.


I actually had two nice hands, a $1000 set of deuces playing triple line $1 deuces wild, and a $2000 royal playing 5 line 50c bonus deluxe. Despite those two hands, I was still down $800 at the end of the day, as it seemed almost every hand was a loser.

Still, though, we did finish the trip marginally ahead.

Marginally ahead equals huge success. I can only imagine how much I might be down after two weeks. Two DAYS is normally too long to expect a positive trip. Even two hours is tempting fate for me.

Back to back casino trip or session wins IMO is extremely difficult! 😬. Not that it can’t be done. It’s just hard especially if you are up and keep playing another 6-8 hours.
