i lost thousands to atlantic city in the past never ever gotten no 200 or 500 or 1000 free play
i lost thousands in bethlehem i get back a 1/3 of my loss or a cool grand in free play
so which is it? play 99% and have your moneys live longer
or play a lottery type games and get back 1/3 of your loss?
the only thing that ever worked for me was double down in video poker im guessing due no house edge and coin through is way more than a 1.25 it gets hecktic when doubling 500$ or more on the line.
still though games like triple double bonus have that win power only downfall is prepare to lose really fast which i refuse to do so no play for me for now
also learned the hard way chasing your loses makes things worst, when they reloaded me with 730$ fp i should have cashed out to me it felt like its same day i lost all but revived 1hour later 2nd chance to hit hard and go home winner nope lost all, same thing happened next week 590$free play lost all didnt hit anything 38min later on triple double bonus dropped 730$ how does that even happen? i feel like those machines can bankrupped big whales like Trump or Gates playing strictly quarters within aweeks time.

Misery loves company. We’re here nursing our wounds and making other plans. I’m staying the hell out of the pure money pit venues, which is unsurprisingly most of the town. I’ll nurse BR very slowly at Borgata fifty cent level or mix it up at Caesars. 99% and actually play up to that number IRL. I foolishly got burned chasing Resorts losses, one mistake I won’t repeat. Stay where they let players play.

I am never a gracious loser. After all of these years, I expect to win every trip. Ahead 10 percent or so every trip, yet don’t know when to quit. Tell me the name of a bank that pays 10 percent interest a day and I will never set foot in a casino again. My Martingale Clone method of play achieves those kinds of results with only the occasional bust. Last session for instance I was up 38 percent on a 1,000 BR. Did I quit after a 10 or even 20 percent up number? Nooooooo!! Walked out with 380 bucks after giving back 100 percent of the original BR. Even if I busted after the 10th trip, I would be even if I had quit when up 10 percent on the prior 10 trips with the same 1,000 BR.

My last visit was ruined in the last 2 minutes on the "Double Bucks" bartop slot lol. Playing casually to finish my coffee for the drive back, and before you know it I'm basically playing high limit room level. Going up from 5 cents per line on five lines up to a dollar per line for all 9 lines was my stupid move for the year. The most expensive cup of coffee I've had.
Other than this, my video poker and keno play have been great for 2021 (knock on wood for 2022). I have had full houses and flushes out the wazoo, and caught four deuces once on a higher bet on DW. I do walk out a graceful loser only IF I had a plan and stuck to it. It's when I have been stupid or chased a loss that I've regretted going.

Exactly. Have a clear plan that you will follow to its conclusion for the duration. If they beat you, there will at least be no regrets or other negative feelings afterwards. Just a negative bank balance from the prior day.

The last four trips to Toledo Hollywood casino. I felt like I didn't even have a chance. I've been playing VP well over 40 years. The machines just blatantly took my money without any hesitation just about as fast as I could put it in. It just seems strange to me.
