Last week, The Pony was off for his mandatory break before starting his second year as a CCA (City Carrier Assistant). He had been wanting a CasinoPalooza trip with my sister the ex-ex-mayor's wife and the ex-ex-mayor. We couldn't go at Christmas because of The Pony's work schedule. I had a free night plus a $59 night, and everyone else had $59 nights at Downstream Casino, which is in Quapaw, Oklahoma. So off we went on Tuesday, with plans to stay two nights.
Such an eventful trip! I have plenty of stories to tell. They will basically be chronological, with tentative titles below. Don't think we got rich! That's not the story. I came back with $413 added to my casino bankroll, but everyone else lost a little or a lot. It's hard to hang onto your money when you're in six casinos over two days! I would have been happy to come home EVEN STEVEN, but had some luck, and some good sense in when to cash out and save small jackpots.
Here's my biggest win of the trip:
That's at the end of my bonus. Good ol' SPARTACUS! I had put in a $20, and after only a short amount of play at $1 a spin, I hit the bonus. WOOHOO! Thanks to the ex-ex-mayor, who stopped me mid-play to have a disagreement on when we were having supper. I told him I had just sat down to play, and would be ready as soon as I finished my cup of free hot chocolate. Without that interaction, my timing would not have garnered me this $600.45 bonus. This was at High Winds Casino near Miami, Oklahoma.
Anyhoo... the tales of our CasinoPalooza will begin tomorrow:

Congrats on your loot. I can't wait to hear about your weirdo magnet. I try to keep that lilttle mole on my forehead covered with my bangs, but when the wind blows, WATCH OUT. I attract them, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's always more fun when you win. My weirdo magnet was at full power! The last night was particularly weirdo-filled. I think my magnetism oozes from my pores.
DeleteAm I weird to be looking forward to the food photos?
ReplyDeleteNo, that is not weird. Everybody likes food photos, don't they? What is weird is that I found your comment cooling its heels in my SPAM folder! Why in the Not-Heaven would Blogger put that one sentence in SPAM???
DeleteYou paid for your trip with that win!!
ReplyDeleteI refuse to contribute my winnings to household expenses! Hick would never donate even his 50-cent profits from the Storage Unit Store to our household. Now that I think of it, maybe I should bill us for the free room I got with my extravagant past gambling habits!
