I should have went to church

Instead I went to Village Pub to cash in my daily $100 bounce back certificate and cash in $100 worth of free play (daily limit). In four hands that was gone and I started digging in the pocket. I was only going to play until I received my next bounce back but I was in about $3200 when I finally got it. Instead of quitting like I had planned, I kept playing hoping to dig myself out of the $2000 cash deficit I incurred. I ended up playing for about two hours while hitting a few Five of Kinds. I quit when I hit my new daily loss limit of $5000. Hey, I got a $100 bounce back out of it.

I took a week off

Well, after taking a week off of my gambling I decided I was ready to give it another go and hope my losing streak would come to an end.

I went to Yorky's to play the Bonus Deuces. I was in about $2500 when I finally started hitting a few hands. After playing for about two hours I walked away up $2,800 and received another $100 bounce back certificate.

After Yorky's I decided to go and see a friend of mine that was bartending at Putter's. While having a beer I put a $100 bill into the triple play Super Times game and started playing. In the first fifteen minutes I Must have hit the "Super Times Multiplier" about ten times. Unfortunately I wasn't completing any winning hands. After getting down to my last $20 I go a 2X multiplier and pulled three cards for a Royal on the top line. The Royal paid $2,000 and I forgot to take a picture of it. This is the second time I hit a royal on this same machine and also forgot to take a picture of my 3X Royal in December. When all was said and done I ended up ahead $1,600 for this stop.

Daily Result: +$4,400

Back in Vegas

I am now back in Las Vegas after a three day business trip. Sadly, it appears that being away for a while didn't change my luck.

I played the Bonus Deuces game at Village Pub today and managed to lose $5,000. The session started out very bad because I didn't hit any handpays in the first two hours. I was down about $3500 before I finally hit a wild Royal for $1,250. From there it was up and down for the next two hours when I finally had a bad run and lost the remainder of the money I had budgeted.

I did happen to hit a couple of natural straight flushes which were bonusses for a promotion they were having. Each natural straight flush earned me an additional $600 in free play. I currently have about $2000 in free play on my account but they only allow you to redeem $100 per day. At that rate I don't imagine I will realize that money anytime soon.


Daily result: -$5,000

Been sick. I haven't been exploring very far from home.

I haven't been feeling to well lately so I haven't been out visiting the casinos very much. I hope to go check out the Palazzo tomorrow and give their $1 9/6 Jacks or Better games a test.

Yesterday (Wednesday):

Stopped after work at Putter's to see some friends with the intention of going back to Village Pub later in the evening. I got busy talking with my friends and before I knew it it was 10:00pm and time for me to go home.

I lost $40 on the $1 DBL DBL progressive but cashed out $450 on the video Blackjack.

Daily Outcome: +$160
Year to date: +$1,790




Tuesday:

On Tuesday I went to Rae's Bar and Grill to play the $5 Bonus Deuces game. I only had $1000 on me which didn't give me much hope of playing very long (these are ten coin games so it is $50 a hand).

I was fortunate enought to play for about an hour while only hitting one hand pay (Wild Royal for $1250). I will put a picture up later. I am trying to remember to take a picture of any jackpot that is $1200 or higher.

Daily outcome: -$850
Year to date: +$1,630

The worst day I remember

Wow, Yesterday is the worst day I ever remember having gambling. Not only did I lose a lot of money but I really didn't get much play.
My morning started at Putter's where I decided to take a small shot at the $10,208 progressive on the $1 DBL DBL game. While having my coffee I proceeded to lose $60 very quickly.
In the afternoon I had to go to a doctors appointment. On the way home I passed Rae's and decided to stop in and get back some of the money I lostthere earler in the week. I played the $5 Bonus Deuces game again and it ate $900 in about 10 minutes. Walked accross the street to the bank and took out $5000. I proceeded to give all $5000 to Rae's while not moving from the same machine. For some reason Rae's was having a problem with their check verification system and they couldn't give me any more money.
This is where I probably made my biggest mistake. Instead of going home with a $5960 loss I proceeded to one of the Villiage Pub bars to continue gambling. The Villiage Pub bars are owned by Gary Elis, the owner of Elis Island casino. They offer the best pay schedules for any bars in town. I plopped down on a machine, ordered a Black Sambucca, and proceeded to lose $4000 more on the same Bonus deuces game I was playing at Rae's.
On a side note, I had a wonderful filet and some shrimp scampi that cost me $4000. I am definitely on the bad side of the volatility curve right now. I think I ended up with around $75,000 coin in for the day and my biggest hit was a bonus five of a kind (which I forgot to take a picture of. It paid $2000). Other than that I hit a few wild royals for $1250 and not much else.
No more big gambling this weekend for me. I will probably make a couple of football bets and play a few dollars in the $1 Progressive at Putter's while I watch some football. Hopefully things will turn around next week.
