I can't win shit on the penny slots, but they're the best (and, duh, cheapest) to play. My Mom & Dad on the other hand can sometimes win several thousand.....

Re: The Bored Buddy Where's George Game
Yeah, I love getting the bottles of water for a buck tip instead of shelling out $2.50 in the machine. Plus free room and free breakfast and bounceback cash.... Winning is just gravy!

I suck too bad at video poker, and I never even get anything decent dealt to me. Plus, they took out all the 50 and 100 play machines, and those were the ones I really liked (I sat and played a 50-hand poker machine one time on a $20 bill for almost 3 hours, and broke even at the end!)

Re: The Bored Buddy Where's George Game
Damn! Those are my faves, too! I can go for hours on $20, and the ones at the Rio are in front of the bar in the Masquerade Tower. The drawback is you get the music from the bar, plus the music from a nearby restaurant, PLUS the casino music, that also gets interrupted by the live singers or dancers, so it's like an aural assault. But it's almost certain you'll like at least one of the songs at any given time. The bar has my kind of playlist.littlebeast13 wrote:minimetoo26 wrote:They took close to that much from me in December? I figure they wanted back that cash I won two years ago.

Re: The Bored Buddy Where's George Game
Status report on the first anniversary......
15 BB bills have been re-entered, with a total of 16 hits.
Total distance traveled - 3240.4 miles
Avg. distance per bill - 216 miles
The 15 hits in a year probably slightly exceeds my normal hit rate on ones in that length of time. This means that eventually, perhaps as many as 5-10 more of the BB bills may be hit...... or it may mean the law of averages will take over and few if any will be hit again anytime soon.....

Re: The Bored Buddy Where's George Game
Do you see the same pattern I've been seeing, with hits on Georges you've entered recently (the last month or two) and almost no hits on any that have been circulating longer than that?
I started stamping my own Georges about a year ago and there are a lot out there that refuse to report in any more.
