Was in Omaha last Thursday for some business. Decided that we would drive across the river and do some gaming in Council Bluffs. Had a comped room at Ameristar.
Check in around 9:00, had not eaten since morning and decided to try the buffet. What was once the best buffet of the 3 casinos has turned average at best. Oh well, got filled up and off to gamble the evening away.
Wife goes for the BJ tables, I state " I am going to play the new quick hits they have installed" Play for about 15 minutes, down $10 bucks. Bonus round comes up with free spins. I end up with 2X bonus. Ahead about $40 dollars on the first 4 or 5 spins the magic appears. The next spin hits 8 Quick Hits! Must have paid around $1700 on that spin. With my few remaining spins I get around $75 more. W2G comes back with $1821. bucks, wow this is great so early in the evening!
Play a bit more on the machine next to my victor but win nothing. Decide to go show the wife my "hit". She just shakes her head as she thinks I win more often than I should! By the way, I was playing $.90 per spin, just don't want to bet $1.50 max that early (one time I should have)
Anyway was feeling a bit lucky. I typically go play $5 slots for a bit whenever I visit. Like the double diamond machines. After running $60 of my $100 through I get "double bars, DDiamond and DDiamond. Damn a $500 win! Pa Pow! Is this my lucky night?
Go showoff my winnings to the wife again. Again her reaction is just another head shake, but happy for me. I wander the "killing fields" looking for my next victim. Lose $100 on Blazing sevens, always have to play these since winning $1K on them last APril in Scottsdale 6 times on our golf trip. Wander a bit and get nothing for big wins, some losers some winners. Tell wife it is time for me to go to bed. State she will be up shortly (she has a nice "rack" going, I mean chips. Although she does have a nice rack.
So, head for the door and see a dollar double diamond and decide to play $60 through it. In the next 6 to 7 pulls I am up another $250. hitting Ddiamond Bar Ddiamond. Also hit cherry with 2 double diamonds as well. Anyway go brag to wife and head to bed.
She comes to bed about an hour later. Damn she has won $740. in BJ.
Total winnings for the night are $3250. That cash will go back into the safe for future gaming trips.
Next morning arise and grab a bagel and coffee and decide to wander over to Horseshoe for an hour or so. Nothing really memorable but I end up around $75 up and wife a bit under even.
Leave town and drive the 4 hours home and prepare for hopefully another winning trip in a few weeks.
Purchased a lottery tic for the drawing on Wednesday earlier that day for a shot at $200 mill. Not so lucky on that! So I guess it was not entirely my super lucky day.
