I Went Haywire!

Yeah! The casino was so much fun.
We got there at around 10, and I went and got a wompum (sp) card. So, they know you're 21 with the card and all. I didn't even get glanced at or stopped for id. (well...I did get glanced at ;)
Surprise, because I do look young.
So I hung around with my aunt and played the quarter machines. I first used a bucket of quarters my dad gave me to start out, $33 I think. I added another $30 to half that, then quickly lost it all :p
Then I went and found my parents and uncle, and watched them gamble for a bit. Me and my mom then strayed away, and I played with the rest of my quarters, added about $40 to them, then lost everything very quickly. Sooooo, my luck was a little slow coming. I then borrowed $20 from my mom. lost that too. xP

Soooo, we took a break and went for lunch at Big Bubba's BBQ. I had a very good BBQ shaved beef sandwich and a raspberry frozen magarita. (first "official" out in public drink!) my aunt had the exact same thing. haha.
After lunch, all of us a little tipsy, we went shopping. It's not a good idea to go into shops that have fragile items in it after drinking. I wasn't drunk, I was more afraid of throwing up. (BBQ does not sit well with magarita apparently...for me anyways.)

So we were anxious to get back to gambling, so we went to an older part of the casino. I brought with me from home, $30 to play with and lose.....and lose it I did in about 2hrs. Where oh where was that beginners luck??
Soooo, when I was playing my second $10 bill on the penny machines (don't laugh, my aunt won $100 dollars on the 1 cent machines)...Someone started to talk to me from behind. It was one of the security guys. So here I was thinking I was going to get carded or something, but I didn't. He just started to tell me that he had no luck on that machine at Foxwoods (workers can't gamble at the casino they work at), and he was showing me the payoffs and how there were no bonuses, but if I had a hunch I should keep playing. So I nervously thanked him and kept playing. So I cashed out, got my ticket with like 4 bucks on it, and watched my aunt play the Harry Davidson machine. So about 10 mins later that same guy comes and started to cheer my aunt on, asking if she played the bonus game yet. Then he started to talk about how you can win the motorcyle on top. Haha, funny...I slowwwwly backed away to go look for my mom.
Sooo, still in the same section, we continued to play the penny machines. I stared to win "some" of my second $10 back, so we moved to the nickle machines.
Then, once again, he showed up and started to talk to me again, asking if I won big yet. haha....no....He was asking questions, I was partly listening, and I mentioned we were going to Vegas in June, and he said that his b-day was in June and that I should take him with me bacause he's never been...ha...ha...this guy was a riot. So I was down to 0 credit again, and I went to put my last $10 in but the machine wouldn't take it. He said the slots haven't been programed to take the new 10 bills yet, so he got me an older $10 bill. Okay that was nice...it's your job, but it was nice. So when he came back, the wolf on top of the machines next to us started to howl.
So I said "Oh, someone must have hit the jackpot" then he said, "nawww, he just thinks you're cute." ha, ha, ha....OH BOY.....thennnn I cashed out...Then he started to show me and my mom the machines that people like and the ones they say they win on. (it was like a scavenger hunt!) Then last but not least, he showed me the BAR...and how you can gamble at the bar....ya know...okay okay, thank you very very much. time to go okay bye bye.

Yeah....

ANYWAYS...we then went to the foodcourt so my aunt could pick up her free $24 birthday cake. We ate more then half of it there and it was very very good and chocolaty rich....yummmm. Then I told them about that security guy, and my mom said he was very smitten with me. hehe. yes, but very annoying when all I wanted to do was gamble and say goodbye to my money in peace.

So before we left I wanted to go back to the newer part and play the slot machine HAYWIRE, since that was the one I first won on. So my mom gave me another $20 and I found my machine. I was at about $15 when I hit a wild and was at $90. Woohoo. I kept playing til I was down to around $60 and won back up to $90 again. alright alright. Played some more until I lost about half of it, then I tried to stratogize my bets. I would always try to get my "amount won" at a nice even number, So sometimes I would only bet 1 then bet max, or bet 2 then 2 again, and so on and so on. So on one of my bets of 1 credit, I looked back at my mom for a second, turned around, and I had hit the jackpot, giving me $300 for that line. 3 wilds right in a row! a beautiful site. So I played for a few more minutes, fluctuated from $250.00 to $260.00 for about a half hour, then I cashed out an even $250.00.
That was it for me! So I payed my mom back the $40 I borrowed right away, and was left with $210. On the way out my dad wanted to play just a little but longer....so I lost the 10 on a titanic game...haha. But I did go home with 2 crisp 100dollar bills in my pocket...or purse. :)
I would be kicking my self right now for not betting 3credits, but it doesn't work that way. I could have bet 3 and not have won anything. It's all computerized in such a way that a split mico nano whatever second changes the outcome. Same for bets too. (saw this on tv, haha...and i think we have a video) lol, but the 2 old ladies sitting next to me were excited that I won.

So that was that. Minus the $30 I spent, I left $170.00 richer. (The quarters my dad gave me don't count) :p

A funny side story, when I was playing the Harrly Davidson machine, an old lady was over my shoulder because I had won $30. She was all happy and said I should go cash out and redeem my ticket, and that she would hold my machine. I smiled and said I would keep playing since it was a penny machine. Then she said to me "A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush." then she walked away very quicky. Haha, I think she just wanted my machine.

Welllll, I think I covered just about everything. Sleep now, dentist tomorrow.
nighty night!
