I had another horrible night gambling. This time it was at Yorky's and I managed to lose $4900 while only hitting one jackpot for $1250. I then went to meet some friends for drinks and lost $300 at Putter's.
I have a couple of slot tournaments scheduled on the strip in the next few weeks. I think I am going to slow down on the video poker and spend more time on poker and Blackjack. These games are a lot less volatile for me.

Another sad Sunday
I don't know what it is, but I just keep getting my butt kicked on Sundays. I am the least superstitious person that anyone knows, but I am starting to question my skepticism.
I stopped for breakfast at Putters and lost $40 on the $1 Double Double progressive but won $50 at video Blackjack.
I stopped by York's today about lunch time and there were two of the machines I like available. Being lazy, I chose the one closest to the door. I proceeded to cash in my free play for $100 and actually play on it for 20 minutes or so before losing it. I proceeded to feed in $100 bill after $100 bill without hitting anything. I stopped at a $5000 loss with $32,000 of handle without hitting a Wild Royal or any other handpay.
I have now lost $10,500 since the last time I hit a Wild Royal. This is the worst run of luck I have had since the first week of January.
No more big gambling for me until I head down to the Las Vegas Strip on Thursday. I have a room at Caesar's for the weekend and plan to meet some new internet friends from the http://www.vegasrex.com/ forums.

Disregard the last post
I was able to clarify the promotion with a management employee at Village Pub and they told me that the promotion has not changed. Apparently it was just a data entry error on the bartender that resulted in my screwed up bounce back certificate. They told me to come back in and they will remedy the situation.
I went over to Yorky's and was given the $70 I was shorted on the last certificate. I cashed in $100 in free play and began. The I began feeding $100 bills into the machine so quickly their log printer jammed up. After putting in $3900 in $100 bills I hit Five Aces for $4000 (and a correct $100 bounce back certificate). I played for about 10 more minutes and was $300 ahead for the session. By the way, that is the first time I hit Five Aces this year. I was many standard deviations behind the curve on this one.
Tomorrow I am off to Laughlin for a free weekend at Harrah's and participation in a $10,000 Craps tournament. My host know I never play Craps but he knows I like to play anything where I can win $10,000 with no cost to me. It also turns out that Harrah's marketing is having a small promotion with 3x points Friday and 2x points Saturday for invited guests. They are also giving $1 cash for every 1000 points earned on the promotion (max $250).
This should give me an easy oppotunity to renew my Diamond status.

Hit and Run
Early in the day I stopped by the casino in which I had heard a particular dealer was giving good penetration on a double deck 21 game. I couldn't find the dealer or any good games so I just had some lunch and left.
I stopped by Yorky's to cash in my $100 voucher, and managed to hit a $2000 Five of a Kind and a $1250 Wild Royal after only putting in $300. I left after a half hour with a $3100 profit.
I stopped at a Putter's to visit a friend and won a $150. Left there and went to a different Putter's and managed to lose $400 in 10 minutes. After that I called it a night.

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.

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.

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.

A slow day
I took the $100 bounce back voucher I got yesterday to Yorky's to hopefully follow up with another Royal Flush today. It didn't quite work out that way.
I played for about ten minutes before hitting five Fives for another bounce back certificate. This one was also only $100. I am pretty sure they told me that they averaged $200 but all three I have received so far have been for $100.
I played another ten or fifteen minutes before cashing out for a $1750 profit.
Next stop was Putter's for some play on the progressive $1 dbl dbl game and a few hands of Video Blackjack. Overall a $120 loss here.

Downtown and Yorky's
I got called downtown last night to go to the El Cortez to help resolve a problem they were having. It took about fifteen minutes to identify and resolve the problem. When finished I decided to take a little stroll around downtown Las Vegas.
After wandering around the Fremont Street Experience and watching some acrobats perform I had had enough and decided to head back to the car. But First, I had to stop off at Mermaids for the 99 cent Deep Fried Twinkie. Hopefully you know me well enough by now to know I wouldn't actually eat one of these, but they sure make for a disgusting picture. Upon enter Mermaids I see a guy half sprawled on the floor and half between two slot machines with a couple of attendents holding him. Of course my first thought was just another downtown druken bum being held until the police arrive, but fortunately it was even better. Apparently this guy was having a seizure and the attendants were holding him so he wouldn't hurt himself (very commendable for someone that makes minimum wage). Then the thought hits me, I will give 10 to 1 odds that this guy just ate the 99 cent Deep Fried Twinkie. Here is a picture of that culinary delight:
After leaving downtown I decided to stop at Yorky's becuase I recently heard that they have some of the video poker games I like. This brief stop cost me $2,000 but I did get one wild royal jackpot (pictured below). It turns out they are doing a promotion that any jackpot gives a three day bounceback voucher that is suppossed to average $200. This is a fantastic player promotion even though it is limited to one per player per day.
I have one more day to improve my first months results, hopefully tomorrow will bring some luck.
