Borgata 10x cashback day

Post by Carcounter »



So yesterday was a 10x cashback day at Borgata for slots and VP. My usual strategy is to get down by 11 AM and get a seat at a 9/6 dollar JOB slant top and play for 4-5 hrs. Didn't get down till 1 PM because of work issues at the office. All VP machines, even the bad ones taken. Saw a woman i know from my Friday afternoon VP sessions and started chatting. She was at the bank of 4 Game Kings that have 99.69% Super Double Bonus. She says she is leaving within the hour, maybe sooner and will text me so i can have her machine. So i walk around for a while and get a text from her about 20 minutes later that a machine has opened up.Start with dollars and quickly lose $400, no quads. I had a bankroll of $1,000 with me expecting to be playing the less volatie JOB. Figured I better switch to .50 from dollars. Still go downhill, no quads and now down to last $200. By now I figure this is not going to be my day. Hold 2 Kings, up pop the other 2 for a $300 win and am back in business. 10 minutes later hold 2 aces, get the other 2 for $400 and am back to even. Drop another $100 pretty quickly and decide this is all the SDB game will give me today, so switch to Bonus deuces. Get dealt 3 ducks within a few minutes, pull the fourth, without the ace kicker for $500, and leave up $400. So I went from down $800 bucks to up $400 within maybe 30-40 minutes. What a reversal of fortune. Just checked my cashback and have $65 in my account from the promotion. Thought it should be more. Maybe they drop the base cashback rate for the 10x promotion.

Congrats on the mini streak Car and you may be right that they drop the base cashback rate during the promotion. If so; they wouldn't be the first to do this.

Yeah, I thought I was dead in water when I was down to my last $200. Fully expected to dump it all without hitting a quad all session. Reaily wanted to play the dollar 9/6 JOB, but couldn't get a seat. This time it worked out best.

When you're down to the last 20% of bankroll, it's usually mere pro forma circling the drain before you bust.

Was at borgata for 10x Cashback also. My Cashback is 66 dollars...Seems very low. However was playing ultimate x.
Dealt 2 aces, filled in other 2 aces and kicker times 10!
Won 5000 when I least expected it and most needed it.
