Sunday, we made a trip to the casino. It has been FIVE WEEKS! I'm surprised A-Cad still remembered the way. We had a late start, because Hick had to finish selling at his Storage Unit Store. Of course he tried to cheat me out of playing time, but the rule is, we always stay 4 hours. Actually, it's not a rule. That's just how it seems to work out. About an hour of it is for eating lunch
We finished lunch at 3:30. Hick wouldn't give a time he wanted to leave, so I said 5:00. We didn't get there until 1:45. So he was actually getting a break from the 4-hour rule. He was just cranky because he didn't have his usual outing to visit pawnshops after dropping off The Pony and me at the casino. Oh, and because he was losing...
I was losing too, at lunch. The Pony was way up, having hit a bonus on Buffalo Chief that paid him more than he makes in a week of work. I did well after lunch. And just before, with The Pony looking over my shoulder, and Hick standing off to the side waiting for me to move my rumpus to the food line, I hit a bonus on Wild Americoin, on a Wonder 4 Boost slot.
That was not enough to put my bankroll back to even, but it was close. And after lunch, I headed to my new favorite, Jackpot Streak: Garden of Amazon:
I played over an hour on this Jackpot Streak. It would take almost all my money, then give me a bonus. Each time I won money back, I increased my bet. When I hit this MINOR JACKPOT of $172.36, I had it up to the maximum bet on the machine. When this bonus ended, I slid in my other winning ticket and cashed out!
With just a short time to spare, I headed for my old favorite, Wonder 4 Tall Fortunes, to play Buffalo Gold and Miss Kitty. I hit the tower bonus on Buffalo Gold.
It was a disappointing bonus of $46.30. Especially for hitting the TOWER bonus, which is hard to get. I didn't reach the very top, but a good bonus would still have paid me a couple hundos. I guess maybe they have this slot set to hit the bonus more often, but not pay back a high percentage. I never used to get this bonus in other casinos.
Anyhoo... I had a good time, and left with a profit. The Pony left with over twice my profit. And Hick left in a bad mood. It didn't help that the server forgot to give him his Oreo cheesecake. Without the counter right there to pull it from, I guess she has to wait until she serves us our food. However... she forgot it then, too, and Hick had to ASK for it. He always eats it while waiting for the meal to arrive. So maybe he was HANGRY, and that carried over to the ride home.
Any money is good money when it comes to your winnings. Sounds like a good day!
ReplyDeleteYes, I had a blast, even with my not-really-Cuban sandwich for lunch. It had been so long since I had the opportunity to lose money!
DeleteI'm betting (ha ha) 95% of his bad mood was over the lack of oreo cheesecake. The other 5% was for missing out on his thrift shop shopping.
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there! Yes, I think Hick was cranky about not shoveling in the cheesecake while waiting for the real food. And he DID make a comment about not being able to visit his "lady" at the pawn shop. I don't know why he didn't go to Goodwill. Maybe they're closed on Sundays.
DeletePoor Hick had to ask for his cheesecake?! They should cater to him. You are one lucky ducky. Scratch offs and one armed bandits!
ReplyDeleteI want to know your secrets.
I want to know my own secrets! Then I could win every time.
DeleteHick is such a loyal cheesecake eater, they should indeed cater to him, by hand-feeding him and massaging his throat to save him the energy of swallowing.
