Don't get excited. Yes, Val went to the casino. Was she a big winner? Nope. She escaped with her shirt and the majority of her casino bankroll. Hick was the winningest. He was up $170 at lunch, but said he lost some after, though still finishing ahead for the day. The Pony was the biggest loser. There's no award for that.
Of course, Hick didn't spend all his time or money in the casino. He dropped us off and went to procure merchandise for his Storage Unit Store. I guess he's getting ready for the fishermen now, since he invested over a hundred dollars in a bundle of fishing poles.
I had a good time, with a couple of jackpots that kept me going. You gotta spend money to win money, though. I don't partake of a 3-hour drive to sit on a profit. I'm there to gamble, by cracky! Anyhoo... I had a little jackpot on the creepy-eyed Miss Kitty tower again, before lunch.
Not as good as my last visit. I didn't get to the top of the tower. Still, it was good money to continue playing. And not so many blinking big-eyed meowing cats!
After lunch, I tried a new slot (to ME). I think it's called Jackpot Streak, Garden of Amazon. I played for about an hour on $20. Then I used $10 of my free play, and kept winning, until I got up to THIS:
Not a fortune, but pretty good play for a long time on a small amount (to me). When you hit the bonus, those multipliers at the top go into effect. As long as you have a win, it progresses to the next jackpot on the next spin, which multiplies your win. The farthest I got was the third one, which gave me a 5X instead of the Minor.
Tomorrow you'll see a NEW FOOD ITEM that we had for lunch. And hear a tale of The Pony being forced into HELPING somebody!
Does he actually sell from a storage unit, or is that a euphimism for something? I may become addicted to gambling if I keep reading...lol.
ReplyDeleteHe actually sells from a storage unit. He had cards printed up with his name and the # of his unit, so I call it his store. There are lots of sellers there on Saturdays and Sundays. The owner rents the units close to the gate to the sellers. People who only want to store stuff get the units farther back. It's HUGE. Two long rows of storage units facing each other, and more at the end, for a big U shape.
DeletePeople can also pay by the day (Saturday and Sunday) to bring in stuff to sell, like on a trailer. I don't remember how much, but they park in the middle of the U.
I gamble so you don't have to! I'm a giver like that. A giver of my (budgeted casino bankroll) money to the slots!
There is nothing like that around here that I know of. It sounds like a great setup of dealers and the owner.
DeleteThanks for that as I know of no place to gamble that is not hours away. I will refrain and live vicariously through your adventures.
You're welcome! I will do my best to fulfill my duties as your surrogate gambler.
DeleteBy weekday, this looks like a regular storage unit compound. But on the weekend, it's a booming resale business, with a full parking lot during spring, summer, and fall.
That new to you machine looks colorful and bright. I like it.
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely try it again next time. That game has been around for a while. A couple years ago, I played a version with a man like Tarzan, and some big cats like leopards. It didn't pay as well as this version.
