I think we may not be reading things right - "access to $15,000" must
not mean her bankroll - you don't play $5 triple play with a bankroll
of $15,000. $5 triple play is eating $75 every hand so $15,000
represents only 200 hands.
On the cash back - I'm pretty sure Bellagio is .33% cash back so
$3000 in cash back would be about $900,000 through the machine on
that trip. That's about 15 -20 hours at triple play $5.
Those $5 triple play machines she's talking about at Bellagio are as
fast as any machine I've seen - I actually turned it down a notch
because it was too fast!! I've never done that before.
answer...
YOU ARE RIGHT THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT BANKROLL AT ALL. IF I HAD NOT GOTTEN
LUCKY I WOULD HAVE HAD TO LEAVE THE HIGH SLOTS AREA AFTER LOSING 3 or 4 GRAND.
This was just an amazing fluke to be so lucky in one session!! I did not
play by conventional methods, just kinda winged it. But this was not an ordinary
session, I hit a lot of jackpots, at least 2 for $5,000 and 3 for $4,000.
THE MACHINES WERE HOT THAT FIRST DAY!
I played very slowly as to not make any errors, even used my cheat cards.
No that bankroll would not be enough I HAD NO BUSINESS PLAYING THOSE BUT MY
LUCK HELD. but here is how I played. I had $10,000. I played 1 bet at first
to see if the machine seemed warm to me, upping it to max when things went
well. I hit the Royal the first day . I also played a few other machines but I
never stayed at a machine when my loss was over $3,000 or so. I played 15
hours a day or more total on all machines.. I played triple play the most but
also played $10 single play and even some multi strike and just for fun stuff.
I put $15,000 of the Royal jackpot into a check. I did have to get $5,000
more from the ATM during the trip. So I add my original $10,000 + $5,000 to
make $15,000.
I also obviously played with my winnings.
I hit jack pots on SLOTS worth at least $9,000.I CAME HOME WITH ABOUT A
TOTAL OF $33,000 .
So yes this is NOT the norm and I played slowly and changed machines
sometimes even playing a few hands on the $25 JOB.
Sometimes I just use the strategy and not the other stuff. It is a fun hobby
for me, many people in my neighborhood join $$$$$ country clubs, I tell my
husband this is still cheaper than that type of golf!!
I would not advise anyone to play this way and I may never ever have this
kind of luck again but it sure was fun.
