Went out to a local casino tonight with $140 in my pocket. Walked out with $1280. Won most of it playing a dollar slot machine. Most I have ever won on a slot machine is $1800, but I prefer playing table games most of the time.
Curious if people of the planet have any interesting casino stories. [Reply]
of course I've only been tiwce.
I took out $40 from the ATM; said screw the $20/hand black jack tables, and played video poker. on the 3rd hand I got a winning hand - like a royal flush or something and I had doubled my gbet or whatever. won the $60, and cashed out.
we were there for my wife's company Christmas party next door. she lost her $40 in about 7 minutes.
I like my money too much to go to a casino. [Reply]
Won $7500 on a progressive $1 slot about a year ago. Usually play poker at Harrahs about once per month and walk out about $200 ahead each night. [Reply]
best session was +$2000 playing 10/20 LIMIT (lol) when I was 19 at the Winstar in Windsor, Canada.
Back then people were SO BAD at poker...especially limit. I had a guy raise me 10 times with a set of 5's when the board was 10 Q K 5 X and I obviously had the nuts (JA).
That session got me into limit poker for a long time and made me start hating poker until I eventually switched back to real poker (no limit). [Reply]
Heh, I've only really gambled once and that was the one time I went to Vegas. My buddy and I played 1-3 limit poker with the tourists and walked away with about 300 each in our pockets. Made another couple hundred off blackjack. Then I had some quarters leftover and dropped them in a Munsters themed slot machine. It spit out 40 bucks. THen I dropped a quarter in another random slot machine a second later. It spit out 80 bucks. I just stopped right there. The last day we combined to put 200 down on one hand of blackjack. We had a shitty hand but the dealer busted. Was a great time. [Reply]
Hit $5400 on a slot in January, then ~$1600 a week later. Between taxes, frivolous spending, and going back to the casino, I blew threw it in about 6 weeks. [Reply]

I don't even know how that's possible
everyone would play every hand...I didn't even know 1/3 limit existed...are you sure you didn't play NL?
Positive. We sat there for a few hours and just got free drinks, conversed with some interesting people. We pretty much just played our good hands. There were a lot of people coming through there that had no idea what they were doing. We played a couple 100 dollar buy-in tournaments and lost. The first tournament, I lost the very first hand. I had pocket Qs and a lady went all in with A-J and I called her and lost. [Reply]
I went to Vegas in February last year, got there late at night. I got up the next morning, went to breakfast, then went straight to the MegaBucks slot machine to play my daily $21 there (it is $3 a pull, and I always do 7 pulls a day to try to win the $12M). On the third pull I won $5400. I had been playing for less than 5 minutes.
Pretty much ruined gambling the rest of the trip, because I knew I could only lose the money I just won. But I had a good time anyway.
Another time I won $300 on the MegaBucks slot at the Venetian. And I won $250 on the MegaBucks at TI. I do pretty freakin well on the MegaBucks.
I like to tell people I lost 40,000 in ten minutes at the casino. Of course I was in Seoul, and it was 40,000 Won, which is about $36. :-) [Reply]
