Took a page out of the Vegas Guru's book

Post by wildman49 »

I been back and forth from Recreational play to AP play on and off this year. There is this cash cube promo that has 31k in 100s flying around in it. Well behind the players club they have names and amounts won many 4k to 5k. I wanted in.This is a smaller casino in Michigan, only 700 machines in all. I felt I had a shot at it. Playing 9/6 Jacks the first trip played 11 hours broke even. Trip two 8 hours of pounding away lost $900. Trip three 6 hours down $1200. Them last two trips, a total of 10 four to the royals, no hit. Today got there for the drawings at 3pm, First drawing was 5p every hour till 9p. I get drawn at 7p. Never been in one, 60 seconds to stuff as much in a small slot. I was able to put away 51 Benjamin’s!  Was a big investment to lay out and play, but as they say it takes money to make money! Had a $600 loss today. So $5100 less $2700 four day loss net $2400. There is money in them there promo's!Good luck chasing the royal!

Wow, good for you wildman. Now just start playing single line, nickel denomination, for the rest of the year and you'll still have money left for Christmas presents.

Nice hit.
I'm curious about something though. Do they replace the money that has already been won?
If the first player goes in and swipes 20 bills, does player two have twenty less bills to go for? So the tenth guy only has $15,000 instead of the original $31,000?

Bill after they count what you won they put it back in the cube and we head to the cashier for payout.I really want to invest this all week for next Fridays promo and get drawn again!

What are the rules for disabled patrons, or elderly or physically unfit on scooters? Can you have a "stand in" get in this box on your behalf??

Just curious, I'm not planning on being in one anytime soon, but you never know, something's can happen spontaneous or surprise-like....


One other thing....what "book" and which guru are we talking about here? Does Bob D. Have a class or chapter on how to frantically grab money flying around you in a windy gameshow type booth???

DB I did read Million Dollar Video Poker a few months ago. Very good reading. You find a promo, play a lot of coin in, in my case it was over 100k, rack up entrees and wait to be called. The trick is knowing how many you need to get called. I did  a test run on a promo at this casino in February. Got called 2 times so I had an idea what it took. Since its a small casino it's much easier and less coin in then a much bigger casino.There sister casino in MT. Pleasant MI is much harder to get called for a promo. They are 5 times bigger then this little one I do well at in promos. One needs 2 or 3 times the coin in for there promos. I just don't have the bank roll for that place , not yet anyway. In time I want to move up to $5 play but not any time soon. Dollar play gets me 5k no worries be happy!
