Trip Report for Jan. 30

A successful trip report. It began with returning a broken, recently bought Wet Jet Swifter at our local Meijer’s. They returned the full purchase price—a $3 profit because of a coupon. Unto Staples to return an ink cartridge that was a dud and would not work in the printer. Since it was bought last August, I would have been happy with store credit. Instead, they gave me $46 in cash. Wow! I have almost $50 extra money for the casino.
So, on a balmy (for this time of year—20 degrees), windless, sunny Michigan winter day, we are off to Soaring Eagle Casino and $15 of free play. We found a parking spot close to the door—another good omen. I played the $15 through a 25 cent DDBP machine in hopes of 4 Aces with a kicker. No luck but the money lasted for about 15 minutes.
Then I switched it to a JOB put in a hundred and hoped it would last about an hour at which time hubby and I are to meet. After about 10 minutes of play, I was dealt a royal in clubs. Yippee!! I cashed out to show hubby the win. I switched back to DDBP and quickly had 4 0AK. (I do get a thrill for the extra pay). Husband stopped by to see how I was doing. Great!!!! A royal and one 4 OAK in 7’s. He left with the agreement we would meet in another hour. I was quickly dealt 4 queens after only holding one. Soon I was given 4 OAK in 10’s. My mind set said to play down to 800 credits and a $100 profit. I cashed out put $1200 away for another trip.
It was time to try some mindless slots like Diamond Vault, Sex in the City, Quick Hits, etc. After a half hour of losing, I found my husband. He suggested I should try a 2 X 3X 4 dollar machine that a gentleman had been doing well at. Well, we did not find the exact machine, but it had the same karma. We both had decided we would spend 20 more dollars. I had registered 80 credits before hubby had lost his 20. I said I would play my machine down to 40 and quit. Instead, I got a 2 X 3 X 7with a bar for a $480 win!! I played the machine down to 500 credits and quit. As we left the casino, I had a $1580 gain (this was my single biggest gambling winnings) and hubby broke even.
After I bought wings at Buffalo Wild Wings, we had a safe trip home.
Thanks for reading my first trip report.
Thanks for the report and congratulations on your excellent hits!

Its great to hear about winners at the Soaring Eagle.
Congrats. I love to read about any kind of win. At least it makes that awful cold weather a little more bearable.
