Slots that saved your ass? :)

I walked into the Casino with roughly $85 in tangible cash. I spent roughly 6 hours in the casino and was down to about $35(after being up and down) played All That Glitters,(now had about $30)a 5 cent machine, and one hit at a quarter(5 cents times 5 lines gave me $50, so I had $55) I blew roughly $15 back into the machine, and than ran for the hills. I spent $5 in Lottery and roughly $5 on a McDonald's meal. I bought some cheap shoes for about $17 then went home. I now have about $43 in tangible cash, $28 in the bank, a $14 TITO for another Casino, and $5 in free play for that other Casino.
That All That Glitters slot really saved my ass! I now have enough to pay for a haircut, get my phone bill paid, and have enough to eat until my next paycheck. :D
So, what slot machines have saved your ass? :D

LOL. :D. But seriously, the big All That Glitters hit came at the right time, as after about 6 hours in the casino and being down about $50, I was just about ready to leave. Had that big hit happened very early in my Casino trip, it would have been a bad thing, as I would have put back the big hit early on like say within the first hour.
In fact, I was actually walking out the door to leave when I saw the ass saving machine. By the time I hit the machine, my mouth and stomach were begging me to go to McDonald's and use the Buttermilk Chicken coupon(you get free Medium Fries and free Medium drink if you buy a Buttermilk Chicken sandwich which is roughly $5), so sitting there and pumping anymore than $15 back into the machine was completely out of the question.

It is for real. I was lucky the slot machine gave me a big hit or I would have been in big trouble.

I know I shouldn't play my eating money, but I still had $47 in money in non tangible cash so I wouldn't be completely broke.

I don't even know how to interpret that.
Either it's tangible cash - you can fold it, put it in your pocket, spend it on cheeseburgers... or it's not cash.

Okay, I'll admit, the part about how much money I have in the bank went a bit too far. I really have to work on my slot forums etiquette. I am a bit clueless when it comes to slot forums.

Free play is not money. It's EV. There is a difference.
A useful guideline - "If I lost this money, would I still be OK for the next month?" If no, you shouldn't be wagering it.

Good point. But, I'm planning to turn that free play into cash. Last time they gave me free play, I turned it into the full amount into cash by low rolling and cashing out every single time I got a winning line.

Update. Went to the bank, got the money. Went to the Casino and cashed out $14 voucher. Used most of it. Free play that was $5 only amounted to $1.44 in real money. I played almost all of the bank money too. Now just barely have enough to get a haircut. Left Casino feeling disgusted in myself. Seriously facing not having my phone bill paid now until next paycheck. Going to refund one of the pairs of shoes I bought yesterday for money so I can eat for a few days. Thinking of begging Mom for phone bill money, really don't like asking Mom for money.

In all honesty, have you considered speaking with a Gaming Representative in a casino about the various self-exclusion programs that are available?
Based on your posts, it seems that it may be in your best interest to refrain from gambling further.

Yeah, it was disgusting that I went from being able to pay for my phone bill, eat until my next paycheck, and get a haircut to having my phone being in very real danger of being cut off. I should have just taken the $14 and run. I can actually be pretty responsible when I only have about $3 on me however.

You won't find any. Video Poker under certain circumstances can have a positive expectation, though you still have to account for variance. Based on the posts from this thread, you really shouldn't consider slots, tables, VLTs, or any other gambling outlets for a source of income. If you're being honest, I highly recommend that you contact a gambling help line, sign up for a self-exclusion program, and seek additional financial help.

Kentry,
In the short term, you can win playing any game.
In the long term, playing any negative expectation game, you will lose.

You're most likely right, but even if there is an absolutely remote chance that something like this is real, I want to at least make an effort to help. I see countless people lose their paycheques and worse in casinos.
