I thought I was going to have to put a quarter in the PM machine! How can I afford my gambling habit if I come visit here, huh? Huh? :P

We'll include a slot machine feature. I figure a 13% payback rate oughta be good enough to keep people playing....

Not for me, bucko! I hit for $627 on the penny slots in AC last month, and got a full house playing Let It Ride with a $15 minimum, which paid (15*11*2+200=?) $530, and my sister won $1000 on the penny slots. I'm an idiot, but a savvy idiot.... :P :P

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.....

It's a good thing I only go for the free soda....

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! And no kids allowed! Bonus!

They took close to that much from me in December? I figure they wanted back that cash I won two years ago. We're even now.

Plus, people can't play video poker for shit. It's laughable what I see people hold, but I don't laugh. I just think "cha-ching!" knowing they'll keep the paytables decent if enough fools insist on giving away their money...

I've got decimated last month, and didn't do much better on my trip this month, so I may not make my March trip (Yeah, well see if I keep that promise).....

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!)

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.

So....maybe you should try Vegas!

Where is that? We're up to 7 casinos here now (The newest opens Thursday), and I don't think any of them are named Vegas.....

I did pass about 472389033 Indian casinos this week. I was quite untempted by them.....

We're up to 14 BB bills being hit now, and still a month and a half away from when I did this, so there should be a few more hits to come before they all fade away....

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.....

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. :(

The hits just keep on coming, and only the second time a user commented on the name written on the back of the bill......
