Reno 2-week WrapUp

Well, I neglected to post a blog about the past two weekends of being in Reno (6/1-2 & 6/8-9) probably because there's not much to say...
The weekend of 6/1-2, I wasn't doing TERRIBLE playing $ Aces&Faces, but then in one horrific day (saturday) I lost $2500. ($1500 to vP, and then $1000 to craps)
I pretty much chased a loss and I'm not proud of doing it. LUUUCKILY I'm getting $1600 cash back this month, so that will soften the blow a bit, but still, the $1000 on craps really hurt (I admit I was WAAAY overbetting it at $25 flat DP with $30 lay)
The weekend of 6/8-9, my new gf came along with me, and we did other things aside from really gamble (We walked the entirity of Sparks Marina, as well as From CircusCircus all the way down to Siena and BACK to CC)
We did play a little bubble craps on saturday night (@Eldorado), but we were only playing with $20 each, $1 on the passline (just really to people watch and get premium booze)
We left with the same $40 that we started with...
LoL, funny story though, we came back to JANugget Saturday night after Eldo and I told Krista that I wanted to shoot ACTUAL dice just ONCE, because it would be a $2 game, and we could go to bed...LoL...I was literally PSO, and krista was 1-roll THEN 7out, then my mom wanted to play...LOL, she couldn't even get to the second phase of the game! It came 3, 3, 3 AGAIN! THREE STRAIGHT ACE-DUECES IN A ROW! I lost $10 in less than 3 minutes, betting the absolute BEST bet in the house for only $2!!!
At that moment, we walked off and I promised Krista I would NEVER play craps AGAIN!
I don't care HOW STUCK I get at VideoPoker, I will NEVER resort to getting even MORE stuck at craps! (I'll just wait my turn for the royal flush to shine down on me)

You can perform after drinking AND stay away from craps? Who are you? Superman?

Lol, the staying away from craps is the hardest part...

Leaving Craps alone? It's like Blood to a Vampire for me, can't resist it, I'm facing reality [g]

Reno Memorial Day Weekend '12

Date: 5/25 - 5/28/12

So this weekend was the JANugget "Country Crossroads" event...not a bad gig
This weekend my newly acquired gf (Krista from now on) as well as mom and granma went with me...
We left out of Modesto at 4pm..traffic wasn't TERRIBLE (actually wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be)
Got to JANugget at around 8pm, checked into our usual 3 room suite and unpacked.
After unpacking, I gave Krista the "Executive" tour of JANugget (showing her all of the property, as well as the quickest ways to get anywhere)
We started off by playing some 25c Aces/Faces in the usual location (I've tought Krista how to play vP pretty good)
Nothing really remarkable, as we go through $50 each in about an hour...
Then I figured I'd go through and clock some machines (as I've heard that there are some vP machines that give more than .335% comp...)
Well, we start walking around (I first wanted to check the machines in High-Limit; figured if ANY were going to comp, it'd be in High-Limit)
On the way to High-Limit, we cut through the Keno lounge, when I looked down and saw a $20 bill laying on the ground...however, there was an elderly woman at the counter buying tix, so I figured it must have been hers, and I told Krista "Hey, look there's a $20." and I reached down, picked it up, and handed it to the Keno Cashier telling her "I think someone dropped this, as it was RIGHT here by the counter."
Krista smiled at me for doing the "right thing"...and I told her that I sure hope Karma thought the same thing....haha
Well, funny as it is...we get over to High-Limit and I sit down and slip a $100 in and begin playing/counting, and Krista took off for the bathroom...literally no sooner did she walk off, I was DEALT quad 8's! (+$125 SCORE!) I finish playing my 20 hands (I was playing $, so in order to "clock" a machine, you have to play $100 coin-in then check your comp), and I was UP $140! (Actually +40 since I had lost the $100 earlier)
Krista told me "See, that's Karma!"
So we walked around and checked my comp...nope, only .250% (as usual) on THOSE machines...
OK, so I went and checked the 10-play's...played my $100 coin-in (losing $40 in the process) and checked again...exact same, .250%...
I asked Krista what she wanted to do, and she said she wanted to play the Monopoly Big Event "All That Glitters" slot...no one was playing, so I didn't figure we'd even hit the Big Event...I handed her the $200 ticket and sat down with her..LOL, so she starts off...MAX BET!! ($3 a shot!) (I would never allow my mom or Granma to have $200 OR play any slots of any kind because I have to have it all for myself but, it's ok for my from now on GF) HEHEHEEE Even though she can not see to play.
LOL, now usually, I don't play slots, and when I do, I SURE don't bet max...but I wasn't going to say anything..afterall, she wanted to do it...Well, she did TERRIBLE, losing $100 in short order...ohh well, back to down that original $100...so I told her we should switch machines to "Invaders from The Planet Moolah" (next machine over in the Big Event game)...of course we have to play max, as we're already in the hole...so I played this time...get down to about $50 and hit the bonus round (not the monopoly one, but the Moolah one)...By this time, some cranky old woman had jammed in right next to me (Krista and I were sharing sitting at the same machine; and the old lady wanted the machine RIGHT next to us when all the machines in the WORLD were open; Ohh well) So of course, betting max and hitting the free spin bonus for 25 spins, (and knowing me) I'm like FUCK YES, (and Krista also; we use our 1st amendmant right) and the old lady says "Can you not use the F-word around me."...of course I am polite and say OK (These stupid fuckers act like it's a church or a library! It's a fucking CASINO)
I think the real problem was, she was down $100 before we even get out of that bonus round! (WHich lasted a SERIOUS FIVE MINUTES, winning us $200)
So we're back at $250 and we promptly CASH THE FUCK OUT...Yaaay back to +$50 overall!
Now, I honestly don't remember what we did after all that ruckus, but I'm tending to think it was like midnight by then, and so we called it a night
Got up at like noon on Saturday and had the Brunch buffet as usual...
After the buffet we headed over to Eldorado to play the Shoot-To-Win craps machine (Krista had never played craps before, so I wanted to eeeeease her into it)
We had a really good time and didn't win/lose (Well, we lost that $50 we were up, but no big deal)
We had to get back to JANugget at 7pm, to get ready to see Uncle Kracker...which was a REALLY good show!
After the show, we headed back to Eldorado for some more bubble craps...I got thoroughly tanked and still managed to only lose $100.
We get back over to JANugget about 2am, and it's still poppin pretty good (since it was that Country Crossroads) and so I told Krista that we should play a little REAL dice, to see how she likes it...pretty much went as I expected, absolutely lost $100 in TEN FUCKING MINUTES..lol, I laughed (as I had told her that it would PROBABLY go that way at JANugget)
So we went over and sat at a 1c Buffalo machine and slipped a $20 in and I told Krista to play it, since she was lucky (she had a really good hand at eldorado)
Sumbitch if she didn't hit buffalo's all the way across (on max bet) for $200! LoL, I feel bad because this nice little old lady was playing next to us and she said "Man, I was just playing that!" Of course we cashed out and ran and funny...she cashed out and started playing Buffalo...
So, now that we were back to EVEN (got the $100 from Eldildo and the $100 back from JANugget) we crashed out.
Sunday, repeated the process...buffet and over to Eldorado...
The original plan was to eat the buffet at Eldo at 6pm and head to JANugget at 7 for the Merle Haggard/Kris Christoppherson show...
However, I got stuck real bad on the craps machine (amazingly, I lost $400)...so we switched over to LIVE dice at Eldo..Krista went on a TEAR on her FIRST HAND (at Eldo real dice) and rolled a 5-point firebet winner (LOL, no one home!) I managed to win $150 of my $400 back right there...
By this time, it was 6:30pm and we decided we didn't have time for the buffet, so we headed back over to JANugget and stopped off at In&Out to eat in the room while we got ready for the show..
Got to the show right at 8pm (When it was starting) and enjoyed it greatly (although they BARELY went 90 minutes; no encore)
After the show, I figured I'd just stay at JANugget, because it was hoppin and I figured I'd just fart around...
Err wrong! We played through that $150 on random vP, decided to hit the $ 9/6/4500 JoB and dropped $200 there (after actually getting back to back quads for $125 each right off the bat)
So now from my original $1400, I only had $800 left...decided WTF and play craps (with all of the other high rollers..hey, maybe I can do a big comeback like last time on the don't...)
I should have stuck to my stupid gut...I wanted to play the DO...and I lost $100 QUICK..switched tabled and played do AND don't occassionally...managed to only lose another $200 in 4 hours (I lost the first hundred in literally MINUTES at the other table playing the DO)
I think I WAS stuck worse...but I just started putting a $25 chip on the DON'T and people were going PSO, PSO, PSO, so within a few minutes I had won $150 and QUIT (It was 2:30 and Krista was basically going to leave my ass there, lol)
Monday we headed out for Lake Tahoe (Krista had never been)
Beautiful day to drive around the lake...we stopped off at Harrah's and went up to 18th floor to look over the lake...man, the casinos were DEAD (but it WAS a monday afternoon; but it WAS also Memorial Day) Amazingly Harrah's had a $10 crap game and it was pretty lively, LOL. (I didn't play; too rich for my blood)
All in all, it sucked losing $900 ($400 to Eldorado craps machine; $200 to JANUgget vP and $300 to JAN craps) But I heard everyone did WAAY worse than me (all the high rollers lost BIIIG at the crap table this weekend; hell, when I lost that $100 in a matter of minutes sunday night, my buddy lost $300 in the same amount of time!)
Krista had a great time...and I'm learning...that's really all that matters =)

Glad you had a fun weekend. Hopefully karma will throw a win at you next weekend...

LOL, I HAD a win several times...however, I was probably stupid for getting stuck the $400 on the craps machine...

Then I recouped $200 of it at $ JoB, but I was trying to go for the whole way (literally Krista got DEALT quad sixes the second hand!)

Reno 5/18-5/20

So another weekend dead and gone...
My buddy wanted to go, to pick up his 95 Trans-Am, which has been having an entirely new suspension setup put on it by guy who fixed my tahoe when I was in a pinch...picked my buddy up in Roseville at 5:30, and get in to Reno at 8pm (stopped off at Boomtown to pickup $20 cash)
When we got there, I knew we needed to play a little, as we were low on comp dollars, and we needed enough to pay for Saturday brunch buffet
So we went and got out $400 free monies sucked out and sat down on some 50c 8/5 Aces&Faces....put in $3000 coin-in each (mom and I) and ended the night UP $45...called it a pretty early night, really, getting in bed by 1am
Up at 10am Saturday morning..get cleaned up go down to the buffet and eat...they were having Hot Seat Giveaways ($100 free play to 10 people per hour) from 12pm-5pm, so we jumped on our 8/5 Aces&Faces and got right to it...the plan today though, since we wanted to put in our $10k (I know, we already put in $3k the night before) in five hours; was to play at the $ level...so we put in $500 each and went to work...
Right off the bat my mom hit Quad Kings for $200...I hit a quad, but it wasn't memorable ($125)...weird throughout the day, NO Quad Aces! However, we both DID hit a Straight Flush (Painful for my mom, as she had a 4-card-Royal, she needed the Ac, but she got the 9c for a straight flush). We also both got called for Hot Seats (as I suspected we would playing $ denom) However, looking back, NEXT time when I get called, I'll immediately play off the free play (I thought I'd let it "build up", but apparently if they see you've already won and havent lost it back, they won't call you again)
In the end, we cashed out with $850 (That was including using the $200 hot seat money as slot rebate) I'd say not too shabby, as we got $70 in comp...
After that, my buddy wanted to take a ride in his T/A, so we took the T-Tops off and cruised out to Pyramid Lake. We got back right at 9pm, as the final $10k Giveaway was happening (First person they called was there and it was all over by 9:10, lol)
So at that point, we cleaned up and headed over to Eldorado for some $1 Shoot-To-Win craps and premium booze...
As pretty much par for the course, we got shitfaced and THIS TIME we won money...However, I was in $300, when finally someone rolled 2-2-12 and I pressed the fucker mostly (I started with $5 C and $2 Hi-Lo; went to $10 craps and $4 Hi-Lo), so I got my $300 back and then my mom went on a TEAR and I realized that the machine max's out at $25 on every number!! I got up to $550 from her roll, then played it a couple more hours and cashed out with $450.
It was 2:30am when we left Eldorado, FULLY LIT and went back to JAN and had the $5 Steak & Eggs special and then passed the FUUUUCK out, lol.
Woke up at 12:30pm, brunch buffet...then kinda farted around on vP...was down $200 playing 25c, switched over to $ and hit a quad and a full house...back to even...switched over to 5c Caveman Keno and hit $50 and cashed out $50 ahead for the day.
Got some food from Gabe's Deli and headed up to the room right at 6:30 to watch the Solar Eclipse...
After eclipse, we headed out (Collected $20 from Siena and $20 from Boomtown)
Got home by 11pm
Whew!
Feels nice to put in so much coin-in and ¡NOT! be down!!

You seem to really enjoy gambling, and are not concerned with advantage play. Is there any chance your bankroll will eventually give out?

TIMSPEED
TIMSPEED May 23, 2012

As long as I only play when I have a 2% advantage, I doubt it.

Playing craps is just for fun...

Mothers Day in LAS VEGAS.

Little late on this, but I've been catching up here at work and sleeping at home, lol
So THURSDAY we drove up to Reno directly after work, in order to pickup $400 in cash (my 2% cashback). Uneventful, really. I got my $200 slot play and I got my $200 chips and ate the buffet (which for $8 worth of comp was TERRIBLE).
By the time we got home it was 1am. Jumped in bed.
Woke up and was out of the house at 9am to drive to VEGAS!
We rented a car (as usual), and we got lucky as we got a 2012 PRIUS this time! (Sweet, 45mpg!! Doing 74mph!) We literally made it from Modesto -> Vegas (~500 miles) on $50 (gas is averaging $4.25 a gallon). The drive was actually quite quick. (8 hours)
We pulled into The Rio valet porte cochere at exactly 5pm. Had the bellman take our luggage and we headed over to MSS. We messed around at MSS for a while, then had the buffet about 8pm (Which for $21 without coupons, was actually quite good!)
By now it was 9:30 and a gracious forum member called me to let me know he was over at The Rio and my room was ready.
Hopped in the car and headed back to The Rio to go to my room...BIIIG MISTAKE! Apparently The Rio was hosting the "San Gennaro" festival this weekend, and the ENTIRE BLOCK of the Rio was a MADHOUSE (they actually had closed the main valet entrance/parking garage). So while my mom drove around the parking lot(s), I ran in to meet forum member to get my key (LoL, I figured I'd get the Masquerade Tower, but apparently he's a baller and got the Ipanema Tower)
The room was well appointed and had a nice LCDTV with a fridge...I called bell and had my luggage brought up, then I ran back down to hop in the car and head back over to MSS.
Met up with everyone over at the crap table at MSS...first shooter (when I got there and started playing) had a decent hand, I made about $100, and was then able to keep afloat pretty well until I was up to shoot. After I shot, everyone else had left, so I decided to color up and head out also (I was still ahead $50)
By this time, my mom had lost $100, so we were totally down $50. So I decided to sit down at some 8/5BP 25c machines (rigth next to the crap tables)
It was INSANE..I literally went on a run to hit SIX quads (Aces TWICE, 2's, 3's, 9's, Q's). In the end, my mom had managed to lose ANOTHER $100, so all-in-all, we ended up being only up $61 (Which was OK, since that's what it cost for the buffet for 3)
So we headed back to The Rio (which by this time it was 2am) and FINNNNAAALY the block was cleared out enough that we got use Valet.
Got in bed and asleep by 2:30.
Saturday woke up with full intentions on going to WovCon...however, family said they wanted to get breakfast with us and by the time they were ready it was ALREADY noon. Went over to MSS from about 1-2, and which point everyone started panicking because they had to be at the Flamingo at 3 to start getting ready for the wedding. So we ran back over to Rio and re-valeted the car...we decided to just take a taxi over to Flamingo (then subsequently to A Wedding Chapel [1431 Las Vegas Blvd])
By the time we got our suits on it was 3, so we rushed over to Flamingo and got prepared with the rest of the wedding party...headed over to Chapel...wedding ceremony; then BACK to Flamingo for cupcakes/champagne. They said to meet at Flamingo Buffet at 8pm (Which btw is the ABSOLUTE WORST BUFFET I'VE EVER HAD...and it was $25 a person!!!! But I had to do it because it's family). Cousin and I couldn't wait to get our suits off (since ALL other males were in fucking shorts/tshirts) So we quickly taxi'd over to Rio to get changed and taxi'd back to Flamingo (by this time it was 8:30 when we got to buffet)
We sat in there and talked until they closed at 10:30. Then the plan was everyone was going to Harrah's to drink/play...well, that didn't end up so well, as we got to walking, and it TURNS OUT everyone was going to Carnival Court! ($10 cover, 2 drink minimum, OUTSIDE, obnoxiously loud music). So granma, mom, and I all decided to just head back to Rio since by this time it was nearly midnight.
We finally get into our room at Rio and it's 1am...I tell my mom that I'm not real tired and I wanna go play a little...however I knew it'd be higher minimums than I'm used to (being it's a SATURDAY night, AND The Rio).
Well, it wasn't too bad actually, only a $10 crap game (they HAD a $5 game but it was JAMMMMED up)
As luck would have it, I buy in $800 (the remainder of my gambling stake; which was $1000, but was being used for buffets and taxi's), get in position stick-1-left
As I buy in, the guy next to me was rolling (Stick-1-right) and he made a point (I only had $10 + $20 odds) So I'm instantly OK...then 7-out, so I'm up to shoot
I proceed to go on a MONSTER hand...40 minutes exactly (two stickmen, then the third stick, first call 7-out)..I made 6 points and a 4-point FireBet payout (My 7-out point was 4, then I'd of needed 9 for all SIX). Then my mom was up to roll, and SHE rolled FOUR points!...
After mom, I switched over to the DP $10 + $25/30...four shooters in a row 7-out, dice came back to me, so I thought I'd try again...nah..few numbers then 7-out. At this point, I look down at my rack and I have $1410!!!! I color up and throw the boys the $10 (I had been betting for them $2 + $4/5 all along, PLUS hardways THAT DID HIT).
I straight made $600 JUST LIKE THAT!!! (I was +$400 at this point!)
It was only 2:30am, but I called it a night!
Sunday morning woke up, got packed up and headed back to over to MSS for the Mother's Day Brunch ($16; DEFINITELY worth it)
After brunch, I wanted to play those damn Treasure Chest machines at MSS, JUST to see the bonus, LOL..wouldn't you know I slipped $40 in and didn't hit a quad!!
So I switched over to $ (I was playing 25c) Treasre Chest and I didn't hit a quad, but I DID hit FullHouse's to bring me to $80 (I was now PLUS $40)
So I decided to switch BACK to 25c...this time I tried a different machine...BAM quad aces...sweeeeet...but only picked the 140-coin chest...argh argh argh.
Played a little while longer and ended up cashing that UP $40 out at UP $100.
So I had made an ADDITIONAL $100 on the day!
By this time it was 3pm and we wanted to ride the length of the strip, then see the new Callaghan/Tillman Bridge...By the time we were on the 15S outta vegas it was 5pm...yikes!
Pulled into the driveway at exactly 1am.
WHAT A WEEKEND!!
Overall, with all expenses paid (Food, Gas, Car Rental) I was +$100. SWEEEEET!
And once again, thanks for a gracious forum member for hooking me up with a NICE ROOM!!

Nice. I love those Treasure Chest machines. MSS is the only place I've seen them. You got the scratchcards, too, I hope? Nice of a forum member to hook you up. By the way, if you are going to be in Vegas again early June, I have a S-Th Fremont offer that I'll pass on to whomever is there. (This is open to any forum member).

TIMSPEED
TIMSPEED May 17, 2012

The only place I've ever seen them too..

LOL, yeah, I got a bunch of $2 winner cards, LOL...but I guess an extra 8 coins (since I was playing quarters) helps...

I'd take you up on that offer, but I can't get away Sun-Thur (only weekends). Thanks though!

Yeah, the San Gennaro festival completely messed up our weekend at Rio. How much money did Rio get from the festival sponsors? The traffic jam was horrendous, Rio must have lost some action from gamblers who gave up and headed over to Gold Coast or Palms or back to the Strip. Also-- I'm surprised your room had an LCDTV. Our room in the Masquerade Tower had a tube TV circa 1997.

TIMSPEED
TIMSPEED May 18, 2012

Yup, masquerade tower I *think* is the older one...but it could be the other way around...however our view was that of GoldCoast...LOL (not that I spent any time in my room, other than sleeping!)

From a taxi driver, he said the Gennaro festival USED to be held out in the suburbs...and it was OK...but apparently they wanted MORE people, so they moved it to Rio...he said it's nothing but a "Shit" festival...

Reno Cinco De Mayo!

Well here's a little blurb about my Cinco De Mayo/Derby weekend...
Friday we headed out...this weekend we got lucky and they didn't have any fullsize rentals ready to go...but they DID have a '12 Chrysler 300...and with the 3.5L it actually got 30mpg!
So we get there friday night about 7pm and head in to VIP and pickup our CDM (CincoDeMayo) packets (which include free buffets) and head over to the friday night seafood buffet...of course I wouldn't have PAID $24 for it, nor would I have used $12 for comp (if you pay in comp it's only half cash price)...but like I said, we had free coupons, so why not! (best +EV use of them!)
After the buffet we went up to the suite and unpacked and went down and checked around for a new game (I've been wanting to find full-pay ACE$ Bonus Poker) and I found some in the WestTower area...my mom and I played them to the tune of losing $100 each! (25c denom). So we switched to a different bank of machines and stepped it up to 50c denom...both of us hit quad small cards to ring up $100 each BACK, and we cashed out and called it a night (early at like midnight)
Saturday morning we woke up and had the buffet again (we had three more free coupons, but the saturday AM buffet is only $6 in comp each; dinner is $12...+EV to use the coupons for max value at dinner)
After brunch, we went over and went to the VIP Kentucky Derby party they were having...after being disappointed that neither the horse I bet on (Creative Cause) NOR the free bet I got with the CDM package (Rousing Sermon) did anything...we went over to the usual spot to play Aces/Faces vP...The first machine I tried, I started off at 50c denom (usually I only play 25c) and I did OK...took me a while to lose $100...So I switched machines with my mom (she was playing caveman keno for 50c a pop, and she was down $25). Was doing kinda crummy...down $50, when out of the B-L-U-E, I held KcJcQc and my machine stops for a minute and I blink my eyes...up popped Ac10c...WTF?!?!?! JACKPOT! $2000.00!!!!! I quitely told my mom, next to me, "Bam, $2000" She looked over and was like NICE! and granma was on the other machine next to me and I told her to look at it and she gave me a high5.
When the attendant paid me out, she broke a $100 down into 20's...I asked her to break it down..and she gave me two 10's...I gave her a $10...personally, I was only going to give her a $5, but I didn't wanna look stupid and ask for her to break it down AGAIN. (No way was I going to give her a $20..shit I could play for a while on a $20!)
After I got my $2000 I had exactly $50 left in the machine...so I figured I'd just play that off or up to $100...well, as luck would have it for me I hit 4 Jacks for $100, then 4 ACES for $200! So by this time, mom and granma had played out there $100's and I cashed out for $300 (technically still down $100) and we took a break and went up to the pool/hottub
After a good swim, we went and had the dinner buffet (free coupons FTW!) and then headed out to Eldorado to play their Shoot-To-Win craps machine (and for me to get premium booze and look at all the meat, aka: hotties)
At Eldorado it was PACCCKED! (Probably because CDM AND the boxing match)..funny because usually the craps machine isn't really crowded, but this time it was (8 seats)..we waited a few minutes for some people to leave then we all got a spot....We were doing OK...then a guy I know (who's usually UNLUCKY for everyone playing) came up and I was DEBATING leaving..but I was even, so i thought what the hell...strangely enough, he has a MONSTER hand (for a $1 machine, I had $24 6 & 8, and a $24 9)..I straight made $400 off JUST his roll...So we finally left Eldorado at like 2:30am (and it was STILL hoppin!) +$100
Got back to JANugget and it was D-E-A-D..but there were a couple people at the crap table, so we decided to play just the same as we play on the Shoot-To-Win machine ($1 hardways and $1 C/E)...bought in for $40 and promptly turned that into $100, and cashed out, LOL. (By time it was 3:30am!) Argh! LoL, I wasn't even tired really, and didn't fall asleep till like 4:30am..
Up at 11:30am to go to brunch buffet, argh argh argh.
After buffet we go (and I dunno why, lol) and play some more vP...played for a few hours and didn't win, didn't lose, thanks to me getting DEALT quad 4's on DDB (couldn't draw the kicker, doh!) and then ACES (no kicker) on DDB)...I was only playing 25c denom though, argh! SO I was +$300, which allowed us to play on that all day.
We took a break and swam, then headed out for the Eldorado buffet (sunday is only $10.99, VERY good price for the quality) and home.
So all in all, I came home exactly $2000 ahead (the price of the royal) and played a LOT (probably $20k coin in AGAIN, lol)
Sweeet! and I haven't even picked up my cashback yet!

I notice on the picture Tim, that the 40000 coin pay appears to be for four coins, since there is another column with an 8000 pay next to it. However, the screen says 5 coins played. Was the 8000 coin royal in the table for $1 play?

Yeah, 8000 coins would have been for 10-coins (essetinatelly $5 a pop)...just imagine if I WAS playing 10-coins! $4000! hahaha

Next time maybe, lol.
