Rewarding Birthday week almost over

[olds442jetaway]

For some reason and for many many years, I have always been rewarded playing vp during my birthday week. This year was no exception. Several hand pays, not busting the budget etc. Tomorrow will be the last birthday week session, but I plan to play light and enjoy it. This morning, I just felt like playing spin poker but not the huge risk of my usual dollar machine. Instead of my 98.8 dollar machine, the one that pays 800 for bet one for the Royal, I decided to play the quarter one at Mohegan with the poorer paytable. It still plays 800 for bet one for the Royal, but on the bonus deuces wild game the straight flush only pays ten instead of 13 on the dollar machine. Saturday night didn't work out so well on the dollar machine and my 500 budget was almost gone less gas money. I decided to on a whim put just one twenty into the quarter spin machine and play using an old tried and untrue Martingale Clone method I rarely play anymore.
     On the Bonus Deuces Wild game I start with bet one per line and just play the center line. I just stay there until I have lost 7 consecutive hands. At that point, I bet on 2 lines at 2 quarters per line. I follow the same rules but any time a bet returns 4 times or more my bet, I drop back a line and drop back by a unit on my bet per line as well.
     This machine started out good right away and pretty much stayed that way. Believe it or not, I worked the twenty up to almost 500 bucks and my bets were fluctuating between one line and 7 lines. The 7 line bets were quite expensive at 49 quarters per bet, I was just lucky small stuff kept coming in on some of the lines. During the 2 hours I played this morning I was never dealt 3 deuces but had many shots at 4 deuces with 2 being dealt. None connected however.
     Well after a while the machine started losing a bit and following my lose 7 rule had my bets again up to 7 lines and 7 quarters per line. I was hopeful, but not too excited when I was again dealt 2 deuces and a 5 and 6 of hearts. This time, I decided to dump the 5 6 which is a borderline play anyway and go for the 4 deuces instead. Luckily, I connected with quad deuces on 3 lines for a thousand bucks plus. Since I already had my 500 bankroll money from the night before losses, I immediately cashed out over a grand to the good. I didn't even stay for lunch worrying that I may have lunch and want to play again. Instead, I made the hour drive home and spent the afternoon and most of the evening with my dad. It was a beautiful day as well. This time alls well that ends well. Good luck and health to all.....Olds.....

Happy Birthday!!   It's always nice to walk out a winner.   Broke my casino fast yesterday and went to Tampa with my wife.   I had $55 in free play, so the first thing I did was play $20 in my favorite firecracker slot.   Hit three tokens right away for 25 bonus spins.  In the middle of that, I hit 25 more spins.  Walked away with a $470 ticket before I even got to the video poker machines.  Hit quad deuces once and another $100 from the same slot.   It wasn't my birthday, but it sure seemed like it!  Send some of that cool weather down here.  We could use it.
