Thank you Olds. Maybe CET was apprehensive about the new casinos and threw me a bone.

Congrats FAA. At least it's better than a single coin quarter royal.

Thank you Car. It could actually have been worse if I stayed on those Regressive Progressives. After extensive play over years, I conclude that they are set tight. Quarter machines pay out less to begin with, and these are even below that level. Dollar plus machines bring overall casino payout to a respectable level.

I just don't get how you get $25 in free play with so little play. If you play that way where I play you would be lucky to get $5 a week!

Terrible Thursday. I won $25 Caesars JOB FP. Given back; busted. I lost my $25 table FP, six to seven craps. ATM sprint. Session two bust. Net Day: -$320. 206 TCs. Quarter Progressive $1,010. My goal onwards is to play this bank exclusively for two hours and cut my loss by 75%. I am the most cursed dollar player in town.

Sorry Saturday. I won $8 on $25 Caesars JOB FP. I gave it back and busted. I lost $25 table FP on five to seven craps. ATM sprint. I lost $80 at Ocean, including a jitney. Last week I entered the bank to see a man awaiting attendant on 5-K $2,500. Today, same man, machine and winning hand. Right after he got paid, he put in $500 for $50 a hand play. $2,500 straight flush. I talked to another player later. He RFed it weeks ago. But he would never play it after two huge wins and left -$140. I guess I will stalk this. Back at Caesars, I lost $87 on quarter JOB in no time while watching neighbor win that much. Ran to dollar and clawed $34. NetbDay: -$252.

Middling Monday. I won $40 on $25 CJOB FP. I lost my $25 table FP on five to seven craps. ATM sprint for extended Ocean play. I won $21 and quit. Same VP shark was there, this time relaxing on slots. I spent thirty minutes on a promotion line, then sports lounge. I turned my $18 jitney change into $40 back at Caesars, then another $3 upstairs. Happy Hour. Net Day: +$60. TGIM. Six TCs. Progressive $1,008-$1,015. Grateful gambler.

My friend quad was back; he was nice enough to make a pit stop at both casinos. Yet I screwed him both times. $6 of potential $31 at Caesars. $50 of potential $125 at Ocean. I can't even go all in with FP.

Sweet Sunday. I won $27 on $25 CFP in extended cycling. I lost my $25 table FP on eight to seven craps. As usual when losing craps, I reengaged VP. This time I won $33 more. Off to Ocean Resort. I won $46 fast. Three hours of football in Hill lounge. Guard was evicting me for not reserving a chair, but a Pats fan vouched for me! Net Day: +$79. No time for lunch or drinks, just a DD bagel. Three Miss America contestants in lobby AM. 30 TCs. Progressive $1,004. Rainy day, sunny BR.
