I just got home from another night of gambling. Had a great run at
craps where I actually had a couple of great rolls. Since I am
usually the worst shooter in the history of Boyd Gaming, it was a
nice change. But on to the question of the day.
After I walked in, I sat down at a 9/6 DDB machine for the sole
purpose of ordering a Long Island Iced Tea while playing single
coin. Yes, single coin is a bad play, but for my purposes, I only
hope to break-even while getting a drink. As it turned out, I never
saw quads all night.
So I put my card in and it shows 20286 points. which is kind of
strange, in that I sort of keep track of my points, and I think I
only have 3000 or so. I get my drink, play a couple of more
machines, and the number keeps going up.
Then I play some Pai-Gow, have the $1.95 breakfast special, and
decide that regardless of whether it is correct, I am going to cash
in 20,000 points for $60 at the Club Coast. And they do it without
incident.
So what would you do if you believed (I.E. know) that you didn't
have the number of points that the meter was shwoing?
