Satisfactory Sunday. I won $20 on Bally's quarter JOB/BP FP. After the obligatory give back, a $25 quad eights. -$25 table FP on six to craps. Furious, back to VP to lose $62. Adjacent machine $100 quad fours. GR lunch. Caesars Progressive $1,051. No play trigger. My bucket list HL slot hit another hand pay, $1,990. Net Day: +$23. 9 TCs. No tempting fate after two quads, the second premium.

Satisfactory Sunday. I won $16 on .25/.50 Bally's FP, which I gave back. I lost $25 table FP on four to craps. I hit a quad each on JOB and BP. Hit Caesars to check Progressive; only $1,028. I decided to run $10 anyway and hit a max quad and was net +$60. Hooters lunch. Back at Bally's and yearning to hit quad Aces. I lost $170 in 1.5 hours. Then it revived. I clawed $50 back and was dealt $80 quad Aces. Net Day: +$19. $5 JOB stretch at dopey Bet 10. Break even and run. 31 TCs. I also won a surprise gift. 1000 RC offer popped on screen.

3Q Thursday. I won $17 on $25 Bally's FP. Nutty clientele. On my right, a wacky lady zoomed down the long line of machines, two to five hands and run. On my left, jarring Ultimate X made a racket. So distracted that my quad three was a min coin $40 hit. I resolved to hit another. Sure enough, quad threes 35 minutes later for $120. But I'd lost $120 in the interim. I won $25 table FP on eight point hit. VP frustrated, I tried Caesars. I won $30 there, including a JOB quad. Net Day: +$101. 23 TC, all at Bally's. Progressive $1,011.

Sad Sunday. I won $30 on Bally's quarter BP FP. It took twenty minutes later than usual to hit a quad, and it was just $25 tens. I won $25 table FP on six point hit. On second machine, I won 1000 instant RCs. I hit another $25 quad. Two minutes later, $100 quad threes. I moved to dollar and busted. ATM for Caesars was also a bust. Net Day: -$400. 103 TCs, 90 at Bally's. Holiday weekend; I joined Lincoln.

FAA, I'll leave switching to dollar denomination alone and just ask this: Why would you say that it took 20 minutes later than usual to hit a quad? Do you have them down to a schedule?

Amateur psychologist switch guess: avarice. I bemoan my judgment, but I won't sweep it under the rug for appearance's sake. And I've gotten used to a quad at a certain juncture, so that lulled me into complacency. Four hour session a disaster. Too much plan straying potential.

Sensational Sunday! I won $26 on quarter Bally's JOB FP. I gave it all back plus $120 on four machines. I lost $25 table FP on eight to seven craps. My pal quad was entirely absent. But after ninety minutes of this hell, I tried BP. I was dealt 3RF and drew the JA. Diamond Head AC! I fell to my knees, then belly flopped in exultation. Rug burns and all. After last trip's disaster,perfect timing. I got a check to avoid wallet damage. 23 TCs. I retired to HL room for a drink. I decided to just go home as all my funds were in check form. No AC ATM on such a perfect day. I was playing fifty cents and had to scale back. I was playing a fair amount of non maximum hands. All things considered, I am thrilled. I saw a guy hit $6,000 on Ultimate X with 12X and quite jealous. It was his second of the day. Later at Caesars, $2,150 on Super DDB. Glad to finally join the four figure festivities. Hand pay still absent. JOB Progressive $1,024. I made as much contact with my neighbors as possible, hoping to spread my luck. It did require $138 to achieve nirvana, a bit too much money to make money. Net Day: +$862!

Congrats on the royal FAA, it has been a mighty struggle for you. You say that you were quite jealous of the guy who hit $6,000.00 on Ultimate X with 12X. Let me put it in perspective this way: did you stop to think that there may have been one, two, or more, players jealous of you today?

Thank you. Nicer to report. I also used the chair as a pogo stick and hopped around.
