Every time I get "brave" and bet 2x or 3x, nothing happens, and then I chicken out cause my bankroll can't handle it...it is NO FUN following my DH around if I'm out of money... I do have to admit that since he bets higher, he wins more. BUT...you have to have at least one or two good hits to keep going...

Congratulations on your big win Shamus, isn't it a good feeling to have a little money in your pocket to finance your next trip? Hope you keep it going!

Hi Folks:

I hit a win tonight (at my local), that was big enough to bankroll my entire Vegas trip (I am on some kind of streak ... the best in years!). I'll be sure to have it up in the next week. Due to popular demand, I will have some upcoming videos with bets over $1 ... mostly $2+ ... and the tactic is pretty successful.

What do I chalk some of my most recent success to ...? Playing 5-cent, 10-cent, and $1 machines. If you can stomach the ride, I have noticed a significant difference.

I will not give away any of my most recent wins. I'll save them for video!

GRRRRRRRRRR... My experience so far this year hasn't been that great.

We need to meet up again so I can share in this "streak" (or ruin it forever!!!!) Can't wait to see the videos!

I hope my trip to Seneca Niagara goes well. I'm planning on putting my $35FP into a 5-cent Monopoly game and hoping for the best!

Hi Sonict:

One spoiler ... I hit a Monopoly game for $500 on a 75-cent bet ... just a nice old-fashioned line hit ... on UP UP AND AWAY!!

I'm really happy for your big win and your lucky streak.

Now where's the video? ;)

Hi suzbays ... it's been in all my videos recently. The Ruby Slippers hits were very recently. Slot Snack 5 is very recent as well ... big bets coming up!!

I'm new to the forum. I've enjoyed reading Shamus's posts and can only hope that I have good luck at Harrah's Cherokee casino next month. My favorite games are Lord of the Rings and Wizard of Oz. Wish me luck!

Hi vib,

Good luck! You will have to play early in the day to get on LOTR TT or any of the Wizard of Oz games at Cherokee. If you were not already aware, the Ruby Slippers game has a max bet of 80 cents.

Tonight DH and I went to Dejope, a Ho-chunk class two slot joint, which is only 1/2 hr form our house...just for a few hours to get our "fix", as we had very little BR to work with. So, I do NOT have a good feel for this place, as we hardly ever come here, and so with my two bills, started making the rounds, ending up on a Cadillac Jack Cherry Red riding hood slot...started playing the lowest bet, .50 for one bet, and got the bonus, and the rest is history...started out with less than 15.00 dollars and cashed out 200.00. I still have NO CLUE how these machines work, but kept changing the bingo card if nothing was hitting. My bonus had one screen of all wild, except last column, for 84.00, and then hit again for another 56.00 and she just kept hitting..Well, it was fun, and we came home alot ahead!

Car1950, In the end, all that matters is you had a great time on their money, and left with too! Awesome.
