Harrah's, Joliet, 6-1-24
Posted: Sun Jun 02, 2024 3:23 am
So Harrah's Joliet was promoting a 5x Tier credit multiplier for 6/01/24. Having just gone less than a week ago and taking advantage of a 3x Tier credit multiplier then, I wasn't too inclined to go to the 5x event. At 10:00 pm I talked myself into going and after taking a quick shower, I set off. I took a little more dough (in the event that I got stupid) than my usual, glad I had it. More on that later.
After walking through the doors about 11:30 pm, the place was pretty packed. All of my usual video poker machines were taken so I sat down at a machine which I have never played before. I also fired up some Double Super Times Pay just to REALLY get out of my comfort zone. After about 20 minutes of play, I was dealt 3 to the royal. Holding the three and pressing draw, up popped:
I played for a bit longer on that machine and one of my usual machines opened up so I went over and seeded the machine. Playing for a while, up, down, up, down, then:
That machine transformed from a video poker machine into a Hoover vacuum. I decided to take the rest of my bankroll after dumping quite a bit back into the Hoover so I walked back into the High Limit area where I mined gold last week. I started out on $2.00 denomination and wasn't doing much of anything. I decided to dip a toe into the $5.00 denomination and act like one of those people who post videos of you tune that FAA likes to watch. After playing for a few minutes, I was dealt quad 9's on triple play. I PRAYED for the fifth 9, the result was this:
Whiff:
After getting paid and apologizing to the slot attendant for not offering up a tip (because I was way down and she understood, her saying that I was bound to hit another soon and I'd make it right then), I dropped back down to $2.00 denomination and a couple minutes later, up popped:
I left not long after getting paid, and tipping the slot attendant, recovering my losses and a very tidy profit for my efforts. So, had I not hit the last 2 bailout handpays, it would have been a disastrous night for me. I did earn a little over 5,000 tier credits which will get bumped up to the maximum of 25,000 for the 5x Tier credit multiplier event. I'm taking a break from casinos for the next few weeks.
Good luck all.
