Title: How I Turned $3.00 Into $140.00
Post by: metsrock69 on July 12, 2014, 12:18:19 pm
This Don't Happen Much But Last Night We Were At The Casino And We Were Down To Our Last $3.00. We Sat Down At One Slot Machine And Nothing. We Moved To The Machine Over And On The 3rd Spin Hit The Bonus. After A Few Spins , The 4th Spin Paid $125.00. We Played A Little More And Left With $80.00 :) :highfive:

Congrats on your newfound wealth.  My friend (now deceased) took $5 and turned it into $340 playing the Wild Cherry machine at Trump Casino.  I call that miraculous. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rainbow: :rose:

Congrats on your good luck and thank you for a reminder of a similar stroke of luck for me not too long ago. I was with my sister, friend and mother down at the local casino. Everyone lost their money and I had a few dollars ($3.20 to be exact) left in a 2 cent machine. On my next spin(with us all watching), I got the bonus and during the bonus, all five bonus symbols came up for double the amount and I won $500! Needless to say, I shared my winnings and we all got to play a little longer. I did leave with $300.

Sounds like a positive experience and you did great because....

you knew when to leave.  Some people put all their winnings back into machines.   :heart:

Woo hoo way to go, congrats!  I haven't been to a casino in years.  I just stick to my casino apps now.  Costs a lot less.

The only problem is it's not easy to duplicate and the Casino's know it.

My Birthday is this month and I will be 43 and I had never gambled and I have never been in a casino.  Another thing I have never done is I have never purchased a lottery ticket.  I have met a person when I was a teenager and he won big in the lottery purchased a bran new car and bought a mobile home to live in but he still kept his job and he was raising a son so he set a good example for his son.  I was very proud to know there are parents out there that teach there kids the value of money and working is a good thing and just because he won the lottery he still worked hard.  I would like to make money like that but I don't have any money to buy a lottery tickets.  I hate taken a chance on money like that becuase if I loose than I lost my money to and I pay need it for medications or gas.

I love going to the casino, now with that being said, I will only go and take what I am willing to lose. I know you can not come out a winner most times. I also will not take money that I know needs to pay bills or feed our family to go and gamble away. I have worked hard throughout my life and my kids are now grown and on their own, so if I want  a little fun and entertainment I may go play some slot machines. I find them to be entertaining.

We Moved To The Machine Over And On The 3rd Spin Hit The Bonus. After A Few Spins , The 4th Spin Paid $125.00. We Played A Little More And Left With $80.00 :) :highfive:

Sounds like a math problem.

But still wondering and doing the math. How did you turn $3 into $140 if the spin only paid $125? Then you kept playing and lost $45

That was a good job well done.  I have not been anywhere to gamble in a long time.  I know it is a risk when you gamble but I am glad that we live in a small town and I would have to drive at least 5 house if I want to go to a casino.

I can top that one...

My sister put in a quarter and on her first spin won $400 and then on the same machine about 15 minutes later won an additional $200 - and she had only been playing for a couple of minutes. How's that for luck?! By the end of the night she had won about $640 and we were only there about 2 and a half hours.

She has weird luck like that.  :-\

Me, I only won $30 bucks - I don't like to gamble.

Congrats on turning your $3 bucks into $140 that is a great feat in and of itself!

Congratulations to you on that one.  I have never visited a casino, but have had similar luck on the scratch-off cards.  That's about as close as I can compare, but it is great!
