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
Year to Date: +$46,380

Dug out of a hole
After work today I decided to stop at a Village Pub that I haven't been to in about a year. As soon as I got there they informed me that the tracking system was down, I should have turn around and left. Instead I stayed and redeemed my $100 bounce back certificate, lost that, and dug into my pocket for another $2,500 while enjoing one Diet Coke. With no luck at all I decided to leave and go to a different bar and hope the tracking system be back up by the time I got there.
I arrived at Yorky's to find that one of the machines I like was out of order, and the only other one was being played. I decided to playone of the new machines (short pay on the Straight Flush by one coin) just long enough to earn myself another bounce back certificate, and then I would leave.
I was in about $1,500 when it dealt me three deuces and I was fortunate enough to pull the fourth deuce. Four Deuces pay $10,000 (and a bounce back certificate) and I still had some credits left on the machine.
By the time they arrived to pay my jackpot, only about 20 minutes, the full pay machine had opened up. I changed machines and hit many small jackpots for $1,250 and $2,000. By the time I left about two hours later I was ahead about $13,900 at this stop. Also, I forgot to mention that I hit a natural straight flush and was awarded $600 in future free play.

Super Bowl XLII
This morning I woke up early and headed over to Barley's to make some bets on the Super Bowl. I didn't care for either side or the total so I settled on just making some proposition bets. I made ten bets for $20 each.
After Barley's I stopped at Yorky's to cash in my $100 bounce back certificate and another $100 in free play. I lost those very quickly on the $5 Bonus Deuces game and started feeding hundred dollar bills into the machine. After putting in $900 I started to build up some credits and was able to play for a while. I was fortunate enough to build my credits up to $1850 when I finally hit a jackpot (I was going to continue to play until I hit one so I could get another bounce back certificate). I hit a Wild Royal for $1250 and also got my certificate. I played a few more hands and cashed out when I got to $2000 on the credit meter giving me a net win of $2,300.

I went to Putter's to watch the football game and participate in their many football pools. I ended up losing $200 on their slot machines and another $95 on the football pools.
My football bets started great with me winning the first three on the Giants first possession. I had bet the Giants would score first, first score would be a field goal, and first first down would be by the Giants. These three bets alone recouped the $200 for all of my football bets. I ended up winning four of the remaining seven football bets for a net profit of $167.
Daily Result: +$2,172

A cup of coffee and a Jackpot
I stopped by Yorky's to redeem my $100 bounce back certificate that I got yesterday, lost that $100 and a $100 in free play that I had before I even got my cup of coffee.
I dug into my pocket and played $700 before hitting a wild royal for $1250 (and another bounce back voucher for $100). I was going to cash out and leave but I decided I had time for one more cup of coffee. I ended up putting about $800 back in before it gave me five "Fours" for a $2000 handpay.
I finished my cup of coffee and headed out the door with a $1600 profit for twenty five minutes of my time.
Tomorrow I will get up early and head over to Barley's or Green Valley Ranch to make the rest of my Superbowl proposition bets.

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
