Well That Boy Did It Again. Went To The Casino & Only Used His Free Play This Time And Ended Up Winning $220 With 3 Slot Machines….

@Gibbon He bought dinner for himself and 2 friends at the casino buffet, Cost about $100 total and one friend said the next dinner was on him. And brought us home some food from the pub, so he brought about $100 home to add to the $300 that he has won in the past few weeks. I think his self-control after winning pretty good is the secret. And he treats people with respect when he goes to order food, some places they give him extra and he never asks. it’s happened quite a bit.

The Waldorf salad was supposed to have been invented at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in NYC, but I never saw one until I went to Boston, where they were plentiful. 🤭

I thought all Bostonians love them. 🤣

@Thinkerbell I don't live in Boston...and I am actually a transplanted Nebraskan. I do LOVE Waldorf salad, but there are SO many awesome salads...and so little time! 🤭

@cherokeepatti By law, those casinos have to maintain a determined loss rate each month. They like to spread those around mostly during off peak hours to that the interest is there 24/7 Week day nights or during lunch hour they loosen up the machines. He just happened to go during one of those.

Thackderville is 45 miles from my house...Lots of good concerts there too

@TexChik Oh that’s not far from where you live. There’s another new casino nearby Winstar…it’s small though.

@cherokeepatti there are winstar, Choctaw, and Megastar just north of the Red.above the DFW area

@Heartlander I look at the last payouts on a row of slot machines and try to play at the ones with the higher payouts for the last users. They usually pay better if you start playing lower amounts. If I get some winnings accumulated I’ll slowly start going up in bets and sometimes hit a couple of larger bets. Sometimes they pay off good.

@cherokeepatti My dad's theory was that machines on the ends got more attentions from passer bys and the more ding-ding-dings they heard the more they were inclined to play on the inside machines since the end machines were already being played. And the nickel machines played off better because everything considered, it was cheap costing promotions for the casinos, what they lost on nickel machines was more than made up by the tighter 25 cent+ machines.

I followed your strategy at the roulette wheel. The odds are the same whether you are playing with your your money or the house's money.

Years and years ago I had lots of overnights in Las Vegas, and once while waiting in the hotel-casino lobby waiting for friends, was watching someone pumping a slot machine over nd over and over with little to no winnings. Until he ran out of money and walked away. Thinking that that machine was now well overdue (I know, randomness has no memory, I was a math major) but I put in a quarter anyway because I'm not fully convinced that slot machines are really random, and I WON a big payout with that one quarter. And then ... as I was celebrating my rewards the original player returned. He had gone off to get more quarter with the intention of returning to that same machine, the one he had been pumping, quarter after quarter. Boy did I feel bad, I even offered him half of the winnings. He declined with a philosophical comment about karma catching up with him.

@WillaKissing We were blessed to be able to do it.

@Musicman I think he was born with it in his heart to help people whenever he can. He has a very high empathy level for others. But he has his breaking point like with his sister. He totally alienated from her now due to how she has treated his grandfather. Won’t answer her texts. And I’m not going to tell him to do anything different. He says it stresses him when she texts or tries to contact him through others, like his uncle who asked him to do a “family chat” online.

@cherokeepatti Sometimes we have to let people go.

@Musicman I’m not dealing with toxic people any longer and neither is he.
