Video poker pay tables not as high as Coushatta but the GN amenities make up for the difference. GNLC doesn't allow free play on vp machines but the player benefits are a nice make up. This past week my weekly free play was $115. Additionally,Thur-Sun the GNLC offered me an additional $215 every night in free play. Along with the $100- 10 piece skillet/pot set giveaway we were getting. Free play is always a "crap shoot". Download $100 and pull out a ticket after the minimum number of spins for that amount. Sometimes you get money in excess and other times its a loss. Thursday was a break even but Friday was a double my money and then we decided to stay Saturday as well which ended up being a double free play pay out.
Thursday: Game play was typical of VP. Thursday night I couldn't hit on 25¢ multi-hand so I switched to 10¢ multi-hand. Catching 4/RF I caught 2 royals on a 16 hand draw at 9:31. I later moved back to 25¢ and just after mid-night I caught 4/RF diamonds on 16 hand DW. As I hit draw I told Sweet C I would hit 2 royals. Sure enough the second and fifth hands hit the jackpot. Played a while longer and went up a short time later.
Friday: Couldn't hit much at all for most of the night and ended up giving Sweet C (community state -
) money to play as we were both not having the right timing. Played a significant portion of the jackpot back. Saturday: We checked out of GNLC and decided to play at Coushatta and pick up the weekly gift there. A couple nice hits on my multi-hand 5¢ and I doubled my money. The pay tables there are 99%. Came back to GNLC to eat on our comp cash since it was on the way home. After eating we decided to play our free extra money. Sweet C hit several nice hits and ended up several hundred off free play. I doubled my free play and so we decided to play VP again and then head home for the night. The GNLC was hosting a Chinese New Year's parade so we watched the dragon parade and performance from the VP area near the entrance. A nice job done by the kids.
Go back to one of my favorite DW machines and put in $200. The machine was on 14 hand 25¢ and I left it there. Five hands in I was dealt 3 deuces (I had not seen or hit 4 deuces but once the two previous nights) - caught two 4 deuces and a few hands later a second 3-deuces (another 4 deuces) I cash out. Put another $200 in and catch a straight flush and 4 deuces holding 1 deuces. Another straight flush and a 5kind. Cash out. Another $200 in and with in a few minutes: straight flush, deuce royal and deuces. Cash out $200 in, double my $ and then I lost the timing. Sweet C is in disbelief as I pull each ticket and show her. So I took a picture of the four tickets.
The total haul: (Amount $2,535.75 and total time about 15-16 minutes from the first hand): $928 @ 21:20; $748.75 @ 21:23; $455 @ 21:25; and $408 @ 21:34. The rest of the night was an average play-up and down with Sweet C finally catching deuces and us taking home enough to repay our bank roll. Oh, our luck continued as we checked with reservations as we got in on the freeway to head home and they had three unclaimed rooms so we turned around and stayed instead of driving home tired.
