We're down here in AC for a couple days. I won a couple-three hundred yesterday afternoon playing slots next to Mrs Mosca ($375 to be accurate), she broke even. We had reservations at Dos Caminos over at Harrah's, so after dinner she played more slots and I went to the tables, to play some Mississippi. After getting KKKxx on the first hand (kings in hand) and 9944x on the second (nines in hand), I proceeded to get absolutely smoked over the next few hours, and we went back to Borgata around 11PM down about $1000 for the trip.
This morning after breakfast we played some more slots and I lost a couple hundred (exactly $200), then sat down at Criss Cross Poker because Borgata doesn't have Mississippi, and won $275 back. Then I moved over to Four Card, and after a flush on my first hand, got smoked again, hand after hand of xxxxx. Maybe a couple low pairs. All garbage.
So at 3PM, with about $300 in my pocket and another day of playing, I decided to screw it all and play the $5 Wheel of Fortune, which is a vice I hate to love. I had to crop the picture because my card was in it with the name and number, but the total on the machine is $1605. That's right, I was down to my last $5. $300 more dollars and I'm even!

Very nice win! I'm a fan of the WoF slots as well, but haven't had much luck on them.

Nice hit, can't say for sure that I've ever played it.

Rough game, those WoF slots hold a ton.
Nice hit, though.

I never play them but on our cruise I decided to play the $1 3 coin WOF. I put a $100 in and cashed out with $55. I spun 15 times and didn't win a single credit. It is probably my biggest waste of $50 ever.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.
