"My MACHINE!!!!!"

At the MGM my wife and I strolling around the area close to Sigma Derby looking for a couple of open machines side by side. Two ladys who were together, chatting along while playing with an open machine between them. We make a quick circuit around the area then find the two now sitting side by side. Taking the opportunity, I sit next to one of the ladys with my wife on the other side. $0.25 double diamonds. Slide in a $20 and after a few plays, I hit for something small. Few more then another small hit. Few more and another small hit. We both hear the lady tell her friend "That's my machine". I look over to my wife and we both smile a bit and keep playing. Working down a bit, and another small hit to just about even. Now the lady starts pointing at the machine I was playing and looking straight ahead saying "That's my machine". OK, getting a little irritated time to light up a cigarette (which doesn't please the lady). A couple spins later Double Diamond - Triple Bar - Double Diamond. YES!!! The lady is now much more vocal telling her friend and pointing at the machine over and over "that's my machine, that's my machine!" I play a little longer and lose some to the point where I've had enough. I tell my wife that I think I've dried the machine up and cash out. As we're walking away, my wife says (loud enough), "At least she can have her machine now" Classic!

A few months ago I was playing at WindStar World Casino in Thackerville Oklahoma. As I was pulling a TITO out of a machine I was about to walk away from I dropped it and it fluttered to the floor. This young woman maybe 22 or 23 years old was walking by and reached down and grabbed it quicker than I could bend over and get it. She said, "Oh, found money, I'll split it with you?" I said, no thank you and stuck out my hand to get it back and she started getting pissy like it was hers. I told her I was going to call security if she didn't give it back. She handed it to me in a huff and pranced off cussing. The gall of some people...

Sometimes I want to yell: "STOP telling me your hard luck story of losing $$$ into this or that machine you just played!" They just want to bring you down and silently wish you will lose more than they did. I LOVE it when I start to win big on their "losing" machine and piss them off.

I don't know if this qualifys or not, but it's a good true story. I happen to be a sucker for the MULTI-PAY slot machines, anyway one evening at the
MGM GRAND in VEGAS I was waiting to play one of my favorite .25 / 12 X pay machine, unfortunately there was a woman who had parked herself at the machine which had a few dollars in [less than 5.00] she was taking her time playing one quarter at a time while watching her husband who was sitting next to her play. Anyway after a while she finally used up her "stake" but continued to sit there, fully aware that i was waiting for the machine, finally after 10 or 15 minutes I went over and asked if she was still using the machine or if she was done. After getting a cheesh and a dirty look she got up
and moved to the seat on the other side of her husband. I put a 20.00 bill in the machine and started to play, well on the 3 rd. or 4 th. spin in I get
2 -- 12 X pays and a single bar for a total of 1080.00 well let me tell you she was PISSED, she was bitching to her husband using language that would have embarrased a truck driver.. Actually after the attitude that i got from her when i asked if she was done on the machine I couldn't help but gloat just a little!!! Well maybe just a little more than a little!! I collected the TITO ticket and my sister went and cashed it in for me, when she got back of course
i had to count it 2 or 3 times!!!!!Strange as it seems that seemed to make her even more PISSED!!!!
