I believe it. Same BS happens at Bizarro. Different things for all kinds of different reasons. Getting to the right person to set things straight can be a challenge too. You have to be your own trouble shooter. Latest Bizarro pain in the butt hasn’t been fixed yet. For no reason check in and check out on line emails just stopped a month ago. Notified the usual suspects….. IT, front desk, vip, customer relations….still nothing!! At least it’s not money related, but in a sense it is. Less gaming time means less dough for them.

That’s the spirit. Prioritize your convenience and comfort. It can’t always be about feeding the beast in these exhausting marathons. Especially if nothing is hitting. I spent 4.75 hours in pure agony, then somehow got two quads in fifteen minutes. Lucky I had the guts to max bet on the Aces hit.

Borgata was briefly evacuated this afternoon, per reports. Heavy police presence. Nothing confirmed yet. Hope Jeter’s usual lounge feast wasn’t interrupted!

Been terrible of late, still can't figure out what happens when I try to post pics, just get a black picture. Oh well was at Borgata this past Wednesday, hit my regular machines at B Bar, Sports Bar, pic a pair , nothing. Early drinks and food [ mostly drinks ] at Amphora. After dinner what to do , found myself in the Ghetto, sat down at a random machine was one of the 9/6 machines. No way am I playing 9/6 went right to the jugular, Triple Double Bonus. hour later after variety of 4 oak [ 5 in total ], went to my room up $910. Close on the big one, dealt 3 aces , got the forth but no kicker. Strange day to say the least. Wonder where I will start next week.

Congrats on the recovery.

Hopefully you're gonna start off next week vertical.

You’ll start the week with an extra $910 burning a hole in your pocket. Works for me. I’d like to return to B Bar, but MGM diluted the pay tables. Any 8/5 BP?

…Triple Double Bonus…went to my room up $910.
Ah, reads like me at the Amphora, “[mostly drinks]”, it is still one of the main reasons I go to the Borgata.

Congrats on the positive session. My wife and I also play TDB, but hold it to about 25% of our play, as the high variance can be brutal, but sweet when it hits…. It was good to me last year and my wife is killing it this year.

FAA: the pay tables the same as last year when I was winning, breaking even. Same games same $ amounts, literally nothing. It’s like someone ( ducking) flipped the proverbial switch. It’s the same two machines my friendly bartender steered me to.

Okay, so still the unsatisfactory ones from my last visit. And it must be chaotically packed on weekends and generally all damn summer. I’ll have to do a Harrah’s/Borgata trip again this year. I did enjoy that. Harrah’s tables also went all to hell.
