Subject: Fun times at the casino by corvetteronw on 2011/3/6 17:48:46 Yesterday afternoon my wife and I decided to escape the house and spend some time playing the slots at the nearest Indian casino. We typically take about $60 each and expect to lose it. We have a good time watching the machines do their different things, watching other people and getting a nice meal. Some times we even come out a few bucks ahead.  I have always wanted to own a 96 Grand Sport and told her that this is what I would splurge on if I ever hit the jackpot. I had a good night and actually was about $250 up and was nearing our self imposed time limit. I got on this machine which I had never seen before. It was a penny machine that I was playing 30 lines on at 1 cent per line. All of a sudden I hit the bonus play which started feeding on itself and set off a string of about 10 minutes of more and more bonus plays and ended up drawing a crowd as the machine was going crazy with all kinds of flashing lights and noises. It eventually payed out the max for what I bet. It showed 45,000 credits and the lady next to me started yelling that I had just won $45,000. My heart was racing, I was breathing hard and my dreams of purchasing something like this:  immediately jumped to dreams of this:  That ended when one of the guys standing next to me declared that 1 point equaled 1 cent so actually had only won $450. Hey, I'm happy with that! Just think what would have happened if I had been playing the max of $2.40 per spin instead of $.30 per spin. I would have won 8 times that (I think). Now, this sounds like we are big casino fans but we actually only go a handful of times per year. We will be in Vegas for Spring break in early April and I hear there are 3 casinos there that each have new C6 Z06s on display for the guests to win. I am going to give them a try at least! Wish me luck! |
