was going to head to a couple of R.I. beaches Sun. into Mon. - was having health issues on Sun. morn
and told my GF that I didn't know if I was up to going - few hrs went by and I asked her if they had
offered her a free night down at one of the CT. casinos - she checked on line and said "yes they did"
so I told her to let me relax a little and if she want to we could head there later in the day
and stay the night for free and eat
and drink on them - (she is in a high status club and gets free drinks and food) - well asking her that is
like asking a kid if he wants some candy. I don't gamble much - Id rather find it than give it away.
Long story short - she hit for $4350 on a slot machine = she was betting $1.25 a spin and had put
about $140. in before she hit. Soooo had I not changed plans :dontknow:
She was so happy - she offered to buy me a new Equinox but I told her no :BangHead:

I can hear the bells and sounds of machines in my mind now.

I was a platinum Hard Rock Casino member for years until one morning I was sober enough to leave :P
 

Nice score! I, on the other hand, have found it too time consuming to gamble at Mohegan or Foxwoods. Now I simply drive into the valet parking circle, roll down my window and throw a few $20 bills out and drive away. Basically the same outcome but it saves me lots of time!

That's as nice as a diamond ring. Hope your health issues get better soon.
 

Hey, if you have not tried an Equinox, you just might want to give one a try before saying NO the next time.
Good rest, good food and GREAT score. Keep on enjoying the hobby.
 

The Casino always wins.
I am betting she spent 100K over the years to get that 4K lol.
 

Used to take the ex to Vegas and she'd spend a weekend on the slots. I'd stand next to her and go through the tray for silver. EVERY weekend she'd be whining how she lost it all. I'd be grinning while dumping a couple pockets worth of silver to sort. Now that I think about it, Guess I can't bad mouth her too much...... Heck! She paid for half my quarter collection!
 

If the wife is happy, you are happy. Fact of life. Congratulations.

Maybe, but there's no need to piss on someone's parade. He's not asking for financial advice.
 

Congrats Casper! I'd say you made the right choice! (Other than not accepting the Nox :icon_scratch:)
 

Great going Casper, Same thing happened to us, we went to the races in Daytona but thr night before we had no ware to go so I said when the Dog track was their, les go over their spend a couple of bucks and it's something to do, well I won 11 of the 12 races on the pick the two dogs coming 1 and 2 , and we back to our hotel room with a bulging pocket.
 

Hello Casper-2,

Hope you feel better soon! :icon_thumleft:

Ask her if the NOX 800 offer is still good, its only 19.5 % of the winnings and you can find her a diamond ring! :hello2:

don't think she has ever lost over $300 in a day
Actually she does very well for herself - her last 2 times before this one she lost $200 and $300
but before that she won $1000 - $750 and $750 = on slots
and she has won a couple thousand on bingo this year
 

Congrats Casper! I'd say you made the right choice! (Other than not accepting the Nox :icon_scratch:)
its all hers - we been together for 20 yrs but she earns her money to gamble and she does pretty good - hear it all the time from family and friends
that they don't believe she takes from them but she does - when the 2 casinos first opened in Ct. I couldn't lose - that was back when they used
the dollar coins - I'd go down with $100 and would average coming home with about $1000 playing dollar slots - Id win about 9 out of 10 trips
then they switched to the printed tickets and got rid of the machines I liked and put penny machines in and that killed it for me
so I watch a lot now
 

It was a joke Calm down.
But gamblers will never admit to a problem anyways LOL
Knew a guy awhile back sign off on his car at the casinos some how true story.
Same guy went to NJ and spent it all and was trying to sell troll dolls for money to get over the bridge to come home you really can't make this stuff up.

CONGRATS Casper-2, good move for both of you..........although I'd have gone for the Nox !! :-)
 

Sounds like you had one too many to turn down a new machine. :laughing7:. Congrats to your lady.
 

I don't drink - detecting is my vice
she needs the money more than I need a machine - I am rough on machines
i'd probably break it - have seen a few that have leaked already under calm conditions
I will prob wait to see what happens with Manta - I like PIs - so probably more the machine for me
right now my cz21s are just fine - just got to get healthy enough to get out
 

Well done C2. Hope you are feeling better.
 

Hey Casper-2, Sorry to tell you this, but I was praying for Metal Detectorists around the World and all of a sudden God said to me: "Had Casper-2 gone metal detecting, instead of whining about a tummy ache, he would have found a $20,000 watch". FYI :laughing7::laughing7::laughing7:

Congrats on the $$$ by-the-way.
