Buffalo Games, Won't You Put Out Today

After showing you our casino lunch items yesterday, I will now get to the real meat-and-potatoes of that casino trip! I know I have one fellow slot aficionado, who enjoys the same game I do: BUFFALO!!! I played three different versions of this slot, with varying results.

First is the Wonder 4 Spinning Fortunes, the same machine where I won my giant jackpot of $8600 in July. I always give it a whirl, though I don't expect lightning to strike me twice. This first picture is not great, but it's a closeup of one screen, as the bonus was playing out.

I'm just showing you because in the fine print, you can see that this screen by itself paid 18.00 x 8, which is $144.00. Not bad considering the bet for this one game was $.60. Anyhoo... that got added into the whole bonus, which was:

Sheesh! Can't ya just kick in the change and make it $300? Does my bonus have to look like a Walmart price? Not that I'm complaining. You can see here, I was playing the minimum bet of $2.40, which is .60 on each of the four screens. When that one hit for a bonus, I got a few cents for the bonus-activating three gold coins (that you can't see here). So my win shows as $300.12 on the screen.

From there, I went to Wonder 4 Boost. As luck would have it, I got the BOOST feature. I kept re-triggering the bonus, which gives 5 more games. For comparison, a normal bonus gives you 8 games. You can see below that I got 73 GAMES in this bonus:

I don't know why I got so excited. After all those games, my bonus had paid me $35.28! That is not good. Even considering that I was playing the minimum bet of $1.60 a spin, with this game that triggered the bonus (and subsequent BOOST to the four screens), being .40 a spin by itself. Heh, heh. This is just to show that you may think you've hit a jackpot with the BOOST and the extra games, but ol' Even Steven has you buffaloed into winning only $35.28.

From there we went to lunch, and afterwards, I headed to my second-best slot, which is Wonder 4 Tall Fortunes. I suppose you may sense a theme here. I like to play the Buffalo slots, and I like to play the four games at once.

It was a decent bonus of $198.00, on the minimum bet of $2.40. I was a bit disappointed to get to 12 buffaloes, only needing 1 more to have ALL of them,and a chance at a really good bonus! Not that I'm complaining...

Anyhoo... those were my only picture-worthy slots. When we compared notes in the car on the way home, The Pony was the loser for the day. He left a major chunk of his bankroll at the casino. Don't you worry about The Pony. He has been the winner on our last three visits, and even had winnings enough accumulated that he bought himself a fancy-schmancy new laptop.

Hick and I were winners, but I was the BIGGER WINNER, because after accounting for money in and money out, I finished 16 CENTS ahead of Hick in the profit column! Yay, me!

All this was LAST Thursday. We might be going next week, but we'll wait and see. Tuesday is our anniversary. We won't be going on Thanksgiving Thursday. I don't want to drive on Wednesday. Besides, we'll see how Hick is feeling. He is having surgery TODAY (gallbladder), and might not feel like going anywhere by then.
