I wasn’t sure if I was going to make my trip to Vegas this year (due to financial issues). However, for Christmas I received a wonderful surprise from my Vegas buddy! A free trip! Since we don’t normally pay for our rooms or food at the Palms, she paid for our air fare and gave me some money to play with. Now, I didn’t want to take her money, but as you will see, things don’t always go as they plan.
I managed to save some money on the side, so my goal was to not take my girlfriends money. The first day at the Palms KILLED me (and that’s being polite). I could not hit the broad side of a barn. Not one video poker machine would even give me a 4 of a kind! I decided to play the .25 DDB progressive in the back, 4-A’s w/k was worth over $750 so I sat down to play. After 5 hours and $400 I couldn’t see straight and could not get a thing. So I decided it was time to call it a night. Cashed out stopped at McDonalds around the corner and when I left McDonalds and man sat at the same machine I was as was dealt the 4-A’s w/k. I had a feeling this was going to be a trip I wished I never came.
So the next morning, I felt horrible but asked my girlfriend for that $500. I told her if I won I would pay her back. (Unfortunately, I didn’t think that was going to happen). The progressive was now worth about $1,085 so I thought I would give it a try. Put my first $100 in, and within 5 minutes hit the royal!!! YEAH! I haven’t received a royal in over 4 years!!! So, I marched over to my friend and gave her the $500 back!! ? Having just won, I thought ok, I will try another 100 and see how it goes. Well the meter got up to $1,002 and saved 2 cards and I couldn’t believe my eyes, another ROYAL!!! To say I was shocked is an understatement!! Hitting 2 royals on the same single line machine within 5 minutes has never happened to me before!! What a great change in luck. The rest of the day was ok, I held my own, but need to stay away from those penny machines. Couldn’t hit a bonus if my life depended on it!
The next morning, I thought ok I’m going to try my lucky machine again. (Yeah, I know no such thing). The progressive was now up to $1,185. My girlfriend was playing her $1 progressive close by. First hundred in played for a little while then 4-A’s w/k came up! Awesome!! Cashed out my ticket for just over $550 and put another hundred in. Now I’m dealt 3 to the royal, wondering if lighting could strike a 3rd time. Guess what it did!! ROYAL number 3 on the same machine within 24 hrs!! Also, just under the $1200 so no 1099!! Yeah!!
The rest of the trip was awesome!! My girlfriend didn’t do so well, but I returned the favor!!
Since my drought is over, we are heading back in Sept!! Going to visit my new favorite machine!!
