Wednesday, we drove halfway to meet The Pony on his journey home for Christmas. We stayed at Downstream Casino, near Joplin, Missouri, but in Oklahoma.
It was Hick's birthday, so he got extra free play at each casino! He was thrilled to get $5 here, and $7 there. That's 5 and 7 times the profit he's willing to make on his Storage Unit Store items!
On the way there, we stopped at Casey's in Steelville, Missouri. It's our usual bathroom break, and I buy scratchers for us. Hick's birthday luck was off to a good start, because he won $25 on a $5 ticket.
While we were playing at High Winds Casino later Wednesday evening, Hick won a Hot Seat. That means he was sitting at a slot that was selected for a prize of $25 free play. Hick said he was sitting at the slot when a casino employee came up and asked if he was Hick Thevictorian. Hick was a little nervous about that, the reason for which will be revealed in the next few days. But he agree that he was indeed Hick Thevictorian, and showed his ID.
Hick was really happy to find out that he had a Hot Seat! He generally doesn't win things like that. But on this trip, on his birthday, Hick was the only one of us who showed a profit from our night of slot play.
Good for Hick!
A rare Hick hot streak...I've heard of them.
ReplyDeleteHick is quite unfamiliar with hot streaks.
DeleteA Happy Birthday from Even Steven! Wow.
ReplyDeleteYes, but as you will see...Even Steven made sure to even things out!
