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]

I hit 1500 twice in two months and Saturday I hit a grand.
It's the best game to play if it's offered by your states lotto. It reciprocates nicely, usually.
What's even harder to believe is about three weeks after the 50k - I then hit 9-10 playing a ten spot - that fetched 5k - one more number would have been 100k [Reply]
$500 and I spent less than $20 on a slot machine. I like playing games, I but I do this for fun and use only safe sites (here https://slots-park.com/ helps me a lot). Also I won $200 playing blackjack and $100 playing on a penny machine. [Reply]
$4,200 over the course of an evening playing mostly blackjack
In a single hand? $3,500. Placed $100 on black 17 in Roulette and hit it. It was my last $100 in my pocket and it was ~2am and I was headed back from Vegas to Chicago that morning on a 6am flight. I was down ~$1700 prior to that bet. True story.
That was all back in my 20’s and early 30’s, before I had kids. I no longer gamble. [Reply]
I've lost $11,000 before playing 25/50 No Limit Holdem.
Most I've won not playing poker was prom night at an Indian Casino in Iowa. $700. Most I've lost not playing poker was about $400 on Black Jack at Caesars palace. [Reply]

Winstar is the biggest one in the USA they say - which is that big ass one off of I-35 an hour north of Dallas. I like to play there when I get the chance. Choctaw is the one in Durant.
If you are ever in Tulsa and gamble at the Hard Rock, meander a few minutes to Catoosa and see the famous "Blue Whale of Catoosa". It's a national landmark. I'm not even mocking, I don't think. [Reply]
First time I went to Vegas I took $800. Wasn't even legally old enough to gamble (by a few months) but no one ever ID'd me. Playing only blackjack, I turned the $800 into $6400 in less than 24 hours.
Unfortunately, I then proceeded to turn the $6400 into $200 over the course of the next few days. Was attending Mizzou at the time and didn't even have a car. That $6400 would've bought a nice one back in those days. Expensive lesson learned, lol. [Reply]

Willie - how does forfeiting a bonus on Bovada work? I have about $1300 + a $500 bonis in my account. I want to withdraw but it's locked to the 5x rollover casino bonus. I've just been sports betting and playing small stakes poker with it. If I forfeit the bonus, they will just take back the $500 in bonus funds + anything I've won with the bonus, correct? That will leave me my initial deposit, $ won sports betting and playing in the poker room? [Reply]

Yes. You should be able to just email support, let them know you want to forfeit it. There is likely a small play thru requirement before you withdraw, but it is not difficult to meet and sounds like you likely already did enough play. [Reply]
