I feel your pain. Just returned from a 2 night stay at Caesars. We did enjoy the trip and the Ol' Lady scored many a Black Friday deal but No luck at all for me. Wherever/whatever game I played was like a vacuum. Burned through my bankroll in record time each session. Came home Busted. Of course anyone who sat to play beside me hit Quads and a few Royals within ten hands or so and cashed out. Well maybe not everyone but there were many. It was hard to be happy for them.

Well, it shouldn't matter as your neighbors cashed out happy as clams. Thanks for confirming my dismal results. So terrified of Caesars that I avoid it like a plague even though Bally's is my first stop on weekly AC trips! My new secondary casino Harrah's has an elegant carousel floor plan. I can sort of keep tabs on neighbors, but have great privacy. If only I can at least hit a straight flush to justify continued patronage. I'm contemplating a year at Borgata next year. Just play CET trip package FP and abandon ship.

Yes, Quarters for the most part. Single line progressives and a little 3 line STP DDB. I Did dabble in the dollars a little and actually what was left of my BR that night lasted the longest on dollars but then went cold as ice. Bally's was no better than Caesar's.
Crazy weekend. After returning home from AC(4hr. Drive) I found a mailer from the local Racino. $30 FP plus I have weekly $35 FP. So bummed I said F it. Back in the car for an hour and 15. Burned FP in Minutes 25 cent DDB (Class II games). Slipped in the only $20 I had in my pocket. 3 more hands left hit $1000 Royal. Cash in ticket text the Ol' Lady "Heading to PA!". Back in car 2.5 Hours to MT. Airy. Stop along the way and deposit $500 @ Bank ATM. After 3 hours play I had deposited the remaining balance into MT. Airy's Bank. Not so easy come, Easy go. Drove home and parked the roller coaster for the weekend.

Great story! I can't lose over $60/hour. You went all in. Bally's is noticeably better than Caesars for me. I get more play for the buck. I have renamed PTSD: PCSD.

Bally's does appear to be better to me as well. My problem this last trip was at Bally's I just didn't give up on the game and switch when I should have. Everyone else around me seemed to be doing well enough, and I have done well on it on past trips.

That's always my problem! Give up after losing $20 in a blink. Whether it's your first $20 or $20 from winnings on a give back spiral. It will get worse, much worse.

Harrah's Horror. Quarter JOB carousel switched to dollars only! I decided to play anyway. I even won. The quarter carousel was a pure money pit. I won $70 and racked up 243 TC! Much less congestion here. Carousel was deserted when I arrived. I did so well for an hour that I was thinking RF.
