I was at Greektown and Motor City yesterday to collect my
birthday gifts. (they sent me coupons) I had two from GT and one
from MC.
The two gifts from GT were a neat clip on book light and a pretty
glass serving tray. And they only cost me about $10,000 each! I'm
kidding because I'm still positive in that place due to hitting some
royals playing quarter and dollar Pick'Em over the years.
All I got from MC was a plastic coffee mug with thrir logo on it.
Now every time I have a cup of coffee in the mornibg, I can think of
all those lousy losing sessions I've had playing Double Double Bonus
in that place. I love to play the game, but lose on it most of the
time.
I did manage to win at Greektown yesterday. I lost a quick $200
in the poker room playing quarter Bonus Deuces, then won $200 back
playing dollar Pick'Em. I then played quarter Pick'Em even for a
couple of hours until I practically fell off my stool in boredom.
Years ago, I once played that game for 14 hours straight in Windsor
Casino without losing interest. Today, two hours or so is about my
limit.
I lost another $100 playing those damn Deuces again and another
hundred at dollar Pick'Em. I went upstairs and had a barbecued
sandwich at their snack bar,(love those things)a couple of cold
brews and headed back to dollar Pick'Em to do battle again. This
time I got lucky and hit four Kings for $600 and left a $400 winner.
I love it when that happens.
