Back from a weekend in vegas... Well, got back two days ago but picked up some kinda stomach thing from either something I ate or just from lack of sleep?
Anyway... SICKEST video poker weekend of my life...
It started on the drive out... I did not sleep Thursday night so I can finish enough "work" and be able to take a weekend off for Vegas. Left Friday night about 9pm I slept in the car as my gambling partner drove (who is not a good influence on me by the way) HA!
Anyway, I woke up getting on pearblossom hwy and ended up driving... As my gambling partners favorite song came on we were talking about Gold Cost Casino and how it pays "Money you can feel" (yes they pay in coins), so I said lets stop...
He went and played $3 craps and I went to $1 Double Bonus Progressive. On my 2nd $100 in the machine it dealt me a straight with an open ended straight flush, I decided to go for it... brick... Next hand dealt me KK44x, I just held the KK and what do you know... two more KK's for a quick $250... I start thinking, this machine is going to start to hit... Not more then a dozen hands later dealth AJd and BAM!!! GOT IT!!! $4317.75
Got my hand pay, gave a very generous tip since I kinda felt bad hitting and running and knowing I will not give any of it back (I hoped)... Cashed out when I was at $200 coins and kept 1 as a souvenir.
Then noticed their $5 progressive machine is a 8/5 bonus poker w/ progressive! How can I refuse!! I played it for a bit, hit a couple of small 4oaK's ($625) and cashed out up a couple hundred... (tip covered).
Ok, its 2:30am now, time to get to Caesars...
Drive to Caesars check in, now im wired after still only having 2 hours of sleep since Thursday. Go to the High Limit room and sit down at the 8/5 Bonus machine $5/$10/$25... Play $5 bonus... Hit a couple small 4oaK's, then switched to $10, and got 4's for $4,000!
Keep playing and playing... Go up stairs broke at about 6 in the morning...
Had a $500 free play promotion, woke up at noon, went to get it, line to long, what else to do to waste time, go play the noon $240 poker tourney... 1st break gets close, I leave a little early to go get my free play, got 5 x 100 slot tickets...
On the way back to the poker room I decided to give the VP machines near the $0.25 progressive a try, played $1 Tripple Bonus Poker Plus, stuck in $100 cash from my pocket (not touching free play yet)... BAM - AAAAx which pays $1200 on this game. (actually had a kicker too but that doesnt count in this one)... While waiting for a verify for the hand pay, I ran into the poker room, dealer was about to pull the cards while I am running to my seat, sit down to the big blind, hi-jack raises, button calls, I look at QJc shove my stack (35+K), call call... AA and AKoff, (AK off called 2 all ins YUMMY!) Whole table says there was a Jack exposed... I'm like so?... board reads... X X Q J X... Scoop! Run out side and get my hand pay... Go back to poker room and after a while I get really tired of sitting around people bitching and complaining about poker and just being around miserable people... so I dumped it in with 5 4 off and busted and went to play my free money...
first $100 free ticket in a $1/$2/$5 machine playing $1 double double bonus.. Held one Ace and got AAAA4 for $2,000! SICK!
Then I decided to give some Double Super Times Pay a try... There is one machine at Caesars.. Its a $0.25 only machine. Played a few hundred threw it, nothing eventufl... Switch to Duces Wild, and got a natural royal flush with no multiplier for $1,000! Royal Count = 2!
Then i decided to try some other games, plopped down infront of this game called "Three Way Action Poker" never played it before... I am playing at the $0.25 level and you have to wager 30 coins ($7.50). Next thing I know its paying me $1,000 I must have hit something and I didn't even know... Didn't pay attention, I just noticed I had over $1000 in the machine!
This is a picture, and now that I look at it again, it was 4oaK w/ 3oak which pays 4000 credits:
I kept playing and got 4AWK and in this game it payed just over $1200
I continued playing a bit and went to the $1 level, and got a royal using the 7 cards: This may or may not be Royal # 3, since 7 cards were needed it may not be considered a true "royal".... I was 1 card off *needed 8s* for a 7 card straight flush (kinda like pai gow)
Kept playing and playing... got dealt 4 kings which was pretty cool:
I don't recall exactly what happened after that but I think I went to a $10 double double bonus machine and put away all my money pretty quick... Back to the ATM I went...
Pulled out $500 and went to a multi line $1/$2/$5 machine that had Tripple Double BOnus on it. I was hoping for 4AWK for 4K but instead I somehow managed to squeeze royal #4 (or 3) out of my butt!!!
Back to the high limit room and play some $10 bonus and relax a bit...
Gutter ball straight flush!
Not more than probably 20 hands later... Open Ended straight flush!
Kept hitting a bunch of small 4oaK's for $1250 here and there...
Overall score for the trip... 30K tier points added / up about $3K for the whole trip, had a freakin blast, and a lot of fun...
WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
