I am still in laughlin after getting booted out of the Craps tournament in the first round. there were 12 people at my table with the top 5 moving on to the next round. Going into the last roll there were still 11 of us in action. The chip counts ranged from 1500 to 2500 with me at 2100. I was fortuate enough to bet last and placed my chips counter to what most of the others bet. the roll went against me and I ended up with 1100 chips and out of the tournament.
I spent about 3 hours playing video poker. I mostly played the 16/10 NSUD Deuces game (99.7%). I put about $50,000 through the machines and ended up $975 ahead after hitting four Deuces for $2000.
I played some 2/5 No Limit Texas Holdem to kill some time and I ended up losing $125.
Tomorrow there is a second chance drawing for Craps tournament Semi Finals. I will stick around until that drawing and head back to Vegas if my name isn't called.
I ended up with about $600 of earned comps and I expect to get $250 cash back for the promotion.
Daily Result: +$1100 ($850 + $250 cashback)
Year to Date: +$47,780

Harrah's Laughlin
I headed out of Vegas today towards Laughlin Nevada for a tournament invite.
Before jumping on the Highway I stopped at one of the Village Pubs to cash in my $100 bounce back certificate and a $100 in free play. Of course I decided I might as well play for a little bit to earn another certificate. I had about an hour before I would have to leave to avoid traffic.
I played fore about a half an hour before I hit a $1250 wild royal. The problem was I was already in $2000. Since I still had a half hour I played a little more and was able to cash out $750 more to get me even.
When I got to Harrah's in Laughlin, about 90 miles form my house, it was 4:30 and my first promtion began at 5:00. I played the 50 play Jacks or Better (99.5%) at the ten cent denomination which equates to $25 a play. I put in $5000 in $100 bills one at a time and would collect a ticket everytime I got over $300. When the money in my pocket was gone ($5000) I went to the cage and cashed in $5600 worth of tickets. I believe I put about $44,000 handle through the machine. Because I was playing during triple points I earned about 4400 tier points and 27,000 bonus reward credits. So in three hours I made a $600 profit (instead of losing the expected $220). I also earned about $300 in comps.
I went to the double deck blackjack game (a really bad game, none of the BJ games here are very playable). and proceeded to lose $400 with average bets of $50.
Daily Result: +$200
Year to Date: +$46,680
