Latest trip to Biloxi

[ukaserex]

Recently, I'd found myself with plans to be in Hammond, Louisiana this past Wednesday & Thursday. Well, the rain/fog changed my plans, so I proceeded back home to Mobile.

As I passed exit 43, I remembered that I had some free play at several of the casinos on the coast. So, at exit 46, I took I-110 South to my first stop, the IP.



The top left was about a year and a half ago. I hit a progressive on the $2/credit at the bar. I believe it was $11,535. I took a check for 10k and the rest in cash.
The next one, at The Palace Casino Resort, to the right, a little hard to see was the first time I'd ever been dealt a quad (9's) on a multi-hand VP game. So I took a picture of it. Only $312.50, but that beats a poke in the eye.

The next was also at the Palace Casino Resort. I hit that about ... February of this year. A cool grand and no taxes! They still make the machine lock up for a hand pay, though. I still had to show my ID - but they didn't take any taxes out, but, I claimed it on my taxes anyway, just because I know I should.

The one below that is the one I hit this Wednesday afternoon. It was an interesting trip. I'd just used some free play at the IP and Scarlet Pearl, as well as Treasure Bay on Christmas Day. But, since it was Wednesday, I recalled that Mondays start a new week for some casino free play coupons, and Tuesdays at others.

So, I went back to the IP & Scarlet Pearl. Nothing special, but won about 40 bucks. Then I went to the palace and hit the bottom picture for a little over $500 bucks. I had a free room at Treasure Bay, so I headed there.

I lost it all! I had to use the ATM (unplanned trip - ordinarily I'd bring more cash) and hit the Royal on the Ultimate X machine. So, I got my 500 back, plus I still had 300 left from the ATM visit. It was a profit of 860 overall, with no cash outlay for any food or rooms.

I tried to insert the images - but it kept asking for the website URL they were stashed on. If each picture has its own URL, I'll be darned if I know how to find it.

Nice pic's Ukaserex, WTG! Sometimes the unplanned trips are the best!

The best VP day I ever had was at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi back in 2008.  4 Royals in 24 hours (3 for $4K each and 2 for $1,000).  I paid $900 in State taxes and still have the W2Gs hanging on the wall over my desk.  They eventually got it all back.   Have fun!

Nice hits!

I cannot fathom that kind of discipline. When I hit a royal - or any big hit $1000 or more, I leave right away!

Phil in regard to your best VP day ever at the Beau Rivage where you said you hit 4 royals in 24 hours, 3 for 4K each and 2 for $1,000. Doesn't 3 plus 2 equal 5? Not 4?

[/quote]Yes.  My error.  I hit 2 for $4K each on the afternoon I arrived, one for $1,000 the next morning and my last one for $4K right after that.  All playing Jacks or Better.  I went home after that.

When I hit a royal - or any big hit $1000 or more, I leave right away! So, you'll never have one of those magical multiple-royal days!

And I'll never give it all back, either!

[/quote]Both may be true. Unless you never go into a casino again, the second statement is doubtful.  Since 2008 I have had two more trips where I hit two royals in a day.  If I get a royal now, I cash out the ticket and leave it in my wallet until it's time to go home and keep playing.   Has no long term affect on my bankroll, but it does make me feel better...
