***OK time for an update from my lunch break***
I had just under 300 bucks walking into the Gold Coast at lunch, and I went straight for the sports book, to lay down some college football bets. I bet 100 bucks worth, so that left me with just under 200 bucks left.
I made the stupid mistake of going into the high limit area, to play that stupid 10-play poker machine that they have in there. I have never hit anything on it, but I always seem to go back to it.
This time was no different...it sucked me clean of 100 bucks in less then 10 mins! Damn!
I had 80 bucks left now, so I put a 20 in to this Dean martin party machine, just because I love playing that game! I got no bonuses, and no big wins...sucked me dry.
Now down to 60 bucks left.
I headed down to my lucky bank of 3-play/5-play machines, and put 40 bucks into it. Game was 25 cent 3-play DDB poker. It Sucked me dry too!
Down to $20 bucks left, and I still had time, so I said "Eff this...I gotta win something, I don't want to stay home tonight!!!"
I put the last 20 into this machine, and started playing the same game...about 2 hands into this 20, I get dealt two aces, and converted quads with no kicker on line #2! Hell yeah! $200 bucks!!
Next hand was a dealt full house kings full of queens...now I got some breathing room.
Looked at my watch, looked at my credits, and I remembered that I wanted over 300 bucks in order to go out tonight.
Since time was running short, I switched to 50 cents denom, and still played 3-play DDB.
About 5-7 hands into this, I converted quad queens on a 2 queen hold on line #1. BOOOOYAAA!!
I cashed out $320 bucks, which is 20 bucks more then I wanted for us to go out tonight! Hell yeah!
I made my football picks money back, plus 40 bucks, and tonight its gonna be a coin toss, as to where we end up.
Hopefully, I can start a new royal streak, or at least keep winning aces, and other nice winners! I'll be sure and snap any pics of good wins to share for you all.
Wish me luck!
