Adam, I also like to go to the Casino's, it can be a lot of fun when you go with a friend or friends that like to play as well. Not much beats the thrill of the win! When you hit that Slot Jackpot and the music goes off and the lights flash! That's when you get addicted to the slots. And before you know it, you end up putting it all back, and then some, maybe not that night, but in short order, because you will go back, trust me. But you did'nt ask for advice, you asked for a story, so here's one,
I had gone to one of the local Indian Casinos to have the lunch buffet and of course you cant go into a Casino and not gamble. I had about 80.00 in my pocket and as I walked through the Casino, a slot machine yelled out to me and said come here! So, I did, I put in a twenty and in a couple of spins I was up to 40.00, woo hoo! Then a few spins later, It was gone, so in goes another 20.00 and the machine kept messing with me, taking me up, then taking it all away. Biggest payout it had given was 100.00, which really sounded cool, because at that time, the Slots still paid out the dollar tokens. Ching! Ching! Ching! as they hit the aluminum bin. So needless to say, before I knew it I had put in all my cash, but I still had a bin full of dollar tokens that I was feeding to my machine, 2.00 at a time. As I was getting low on tokens, for some reason, I reached over to the slot machine next to mine and I put in 2.00 and spun the reels and guess what? Nothing. Frustrated, I fed the rest of the coins to my machine, and was soon out of money. Then I did what you should never do, I stayed there to see what that machine would do. Very next guy that walks up, sits at "my machine", and with his very first 2.00 spin, hits the Jackpot for 2,000.00!! Are you kidding me?! So there I stood, broke, still hungry, because I never did have lunch, and kicking myself for putting the 2.00 in the next machine, for if I had'nt, that Jackpot surely would have been mine! Sad story.
Now here's a happy story. I flew into Vegas, with a hot, straight young co-worker I had lusted after for some time, we there to attend a trade show and were sharing a suite at the Luxor Hotel and Casino. While we were waiting to check in, I peeked in to the casino area, and the very first slot machine I see is a video slot called Shark Attack! I was drawn to it, stuck a 20.00 in it, hit the max button and it hits the bonus, which continued to retrigger over and over, awarding more free games until it finally hit on a progressive jackpot worth just under 10,000.00!!, plus the near 1,000.00 that had accunulated on the bonus spins. Needless to say, we ended up having the time of our lives, and I still went home with a pocket full of cash and some erotic memories of our time together in the Great Pyramid at The Luxor, but that's a story for another time. - Jason
