Went for free overnight stay Harrah's and VP Tournament at the
Downs. Tourney was 9/7 DB and played 25 credits per hand for ten
minutes in each session. Two sessions. Before the tourney I played,
10/6 DDB 3 play@ 99.02% for 1 1/2 ended up $110, switched to $5 9/6
JB (15 min.) up $385 more. Did first round with 6150 score, not bad.
Did lunch at the "Great Western Barbeque Buffet", wasn't THAT great?
Live music was good though! On to last session and got the Aces for
10050 points,for a total of 16200 and first place;-) $1000 prize
minus $60 for state tax.
Day two:
Played 5 1/2 hours on a 10 play Super Ace at the Hollywood and lost
$200 considering cash back and bounce back. Made 1200+ points and
got $190 in cash back, not sure why it was so high? Top level pays
$7.50 per 100 pionts??
Checked out of Harrah's, and went back to the Downs for a little $5
9/6 Jacks. I wanted to use the scratch card for multiplying what
ever points I earned. Played 1 1/2 hours and earned 2000+ base
points and cash out up $370. I go to the total rewards desk to
scratch and she says I only earned 75 base points?? 2X on scratch
card would be a lot better on 2000 than 75, Oh Well?? Didn't get any
Treasure Hunt coins cause it one for each 100 base points. She said
she would have a supervisor check it out, but it didn't help at that
moment.
Ann played some Pick-em poker at Harrah's and finally hit her first
Quad for 600 quarters and while she was waiting for that hand pay,
she decided to try the machine next to her. She put in the 5
quarters and push the draw button..... up came three Jacks. she held
the pile with the Jack in it and got the fourth one. Neat huh! Her
first 5 quarters and she gets a Quad for another $150. She had fun!
Total for trip a win of 1500 +/-
