Dunno where that machine is at Cosmo, but it may be a new addition. Did their $100 rebate offer, lost $100. Games seem very tight there Turns out there is only 1 machine.  Ridiculous!  Made a fool out of me for praising them (which I later recanted).  However, I just evened the scales, at least.  Early Sunday morning I swung by MGM to tame the LIONS SHARE.  I didn't, but neither did it bite my head off.  Put in $21 and played until I had 7 consecutive no-hits and cashed out-------with $21.  Wasn't that inconvenient-the service people are usually pretty prompt, and this time they gave me my money before they did all the machine resetting crap.  So then to Harmon and the Cosmo.  Parking was a snap, unbelievably easy.  Go to get my card and they tried to offer me either $10 fp or a chance to spin the money wheel which would be open in 1.5 hrs.  I asked the EV of the wheel. Say what? I did find out that one third of the values are $5 and two thirds are $10 plus. WIn up to $500, bet there's way more tens than five hundreds. I was going to take the wheel chance anyway.  I had verified the $100 rebate was still active when I first walked up to the counter.  Luckily, as I was leaving the counter, I thought to ask if I had to come back and wait in line to redeem it. She says well you already chose the wheel so you are not eligible for the rebate offer-it's one or the other.  So she then had to do some more typing and correcting for me to waive the wheel door and opt for the rebate.  So I looked around a whole lot trying to decide how I wanted to play it.   I will say they had fabulous looking machines.  I finally settled on one of the penny jobs, Double Dinosaur, I believe.  $4.45 per max spin.  On the fifth or sixth spin I hit for $265.  Out the door with $243.25 extra bucks in my pocket.  The casino floor felt very uncomfortable to me-low ceiling with chandeliers hanging so low you almost felt like you needed to duck to walk under them.  I actually felt like I was in the basement.   



[/QUOTE]Congrats on escaping Cosmo alive! I met a far different fate ... tried playing there twice with table match plays as well as the $100 rebate and lost my butt both times. It's so obvious they can't afford to let you win there!
