My Slots Session Today

Today I went over to my local casino to play some slots games. I recently turned 18 so I decided to take the 20 minute drive over to the Indian-run casino and try it out. A few of my friends went with me, and although they were pressed for cash, we all had a blast. As soon as we got there we were starving, so we went right to the world class buffet.

At the casino buffet they have literally every food you could imagine, from Prime Rib to Crab Legs to Cheesecake, and I think we ate them all. I started off by grabbing a plate of Chinese food, and after about 6 more plates of various food, we were ready to hit the casino floor.

I only brought $50 with me so I knew I had to be smart with conserving my money. I started off playing some progressives in the hopes that I might hit a big casino score. However, after playing about 20 pulls I still hadn't even won a single reel, so I moved on to the next slot machine.

This one wasn't progressive so I imagine it had better slot odds. It was a quarter slot machine, meaning that I could bet $.25 at a time on each line. After about 10-12 pulls, I finally had my first score. I made three Pie's in a row which was good for a 25x payout, meaning that I won $6.25 which put me about back to even for the day. I continued to play this machine for about an hour, and although I had a few more hits, I eventually left down about $4.

After that I decided to try my luck at another progressive machine, which had a jackpot of $314,000! I ended up burning about $15 there, and once again, never even won on a single line. After that we decided to head home!
