Day 2 AM
I finally get a deal I've been looking for- god knows how long it's been.
The last time I got 4 aces at the Wynn was 1/2016. I know this, in part bc of the result- I drew at the kicker 5 times and missed in all 5 spots. To say I was disappointed was a massive understatement- the hand ended up paying 800 x 5 = 4000, = the same amount as ONE 4 aces w/kicker.
With that unpleasant memory still fresh in my mind, I turn the video on, pray, and hit the "draw" button. My hands started shaking when my conscious brain processed the result in front of me-
Now that is running well- the kicker in 3 of 5 spots, when mathematically it should show up 1-2 times. Biggest single hit of my life, and completely erases the debacle from the day before.
I bask in the glorious feeling for a while, then continue to play. I pump about 1500$ back into the machine when I hit this out of nowhere-
Now I'm up 7K for the trip, when I was down 7K an hour before. Such a sick swing.
I just have this unshakable feeling that today is going to be the day I "break" this machine, fueled by stuff like this-
Note 2$ credits. Same draw, literally 3 hands later...
And then, I switch back to 1$ credits, 5 lines and 10 hands later get the SAME DRAW-
Note I am missing the king of hearts ALL THREE TIMES. Unfortunately, I miss every time. It was an exciting flurry of hands though- the possibilities!
At some point, I decide to switch to "deuces wild bonus" or something just to change it up. 5 of a kind pays >100 credits, up to 400 for 5 aces. 4 deuces pays 1000, 4 deuces w/ace pays 2000. Royal of course pays 4k. The major downside is the straight- only pays 5 credits with a max bet (same as trips).
I get some serious play out of the machine, as well as some great draws and a lot of fun-
Which becomes this-
Darn.
I continue playing; despite not hitting any hand pays (not really expecting it bc short of 4 deuces w/ace or a royal) I'm up for the deuces wild session- consistently putting in 100$ and cashing out a 3-400$ ticket, etc. Then, I play a hand and the machine locks up- that's weird, what did I hit?
Totally not expecting this, and the machine had the courtesy of giving me an ace as well!
That's a good stopping point. It's time to meet my parents for lunch and then check in (we're staying at the Wynn for the rest of the trip, my dad is playing in a slot tournament that Sat/the day I leave). I swing by Mecca to my dad-
We eat at the little cafe near the sportsbook- simple fare, we all get salads, sandwiches, etc. Nothing worth taking a pic of.
I have a standard room, and my parents have a salon suite.
My room- good enough for my purposes.
View from my parents' suite- the waterfall in front of Lakeside is visible, and the single buildings in front are some of the private villas that we don't qualify for
