Monday I headed to the Downstream around noon and got there before 2pm. I had $40 in Buffet coupons I had to use before the 2nd of May. I purchased an all day pass for myself and was able to buy a meal for a pleasantly surprised couple that I had cut in line in front of because of my platinum card. I do buy quite a few meals for strangers ( or I should say the casino does ) because I feel bad about using my platimun card to go to the front of the line. I had a salad there and took an ice cream cone with me out to the casino. At the Pai Gow table, a lady was admiring my ice cream cone, I left and fetched her one from the Buffet, one of the benefits of a all day pass.
I had $375 in freeplay. I found a Neptune machine and turned it into $953. I'm going to give away my trade secrets for playing Neptunes. There are 6 bonus's. One of them is you get 10 diamonds and win a bonus round. Never play when there are 9 diamonds, It will take an eternity to get that last diamond and the payouts will be slim, it will suck your money. The sweet spot is finding one with 4 or 5 diamonds. There are two classes of Neptunes, the first is denominations of 1 cent, two cents and 5 cents. The other is 5 cents, 10 cents and 25 cents. Max bet is $2 for penny and $50 for a quarter. I start out playing a nickel max bet for $10 a pull. When the slot starts warming up by giving a few small wins, I jump up to 10 cents for $20 a pull. The slot is fixing to trigger a red screen bonus. There are no guarranties. I have taken more money out of Neptunes than I have put in. My friends say the same thing. If there are Neptunes in your casino, try em out and let us know how you do.
At the Pai Gow table, I played one hand instead of my usual two. I was down $300 at one point. Things turned around and I realized I was even. I colored up and had a $47 profit. I left the casino up $1,000. a full belly, $50 gas comp, I had $20 in coupons for the convience store, I bought gourmet popcorn with.
