[Slot Machines]What's your best one spin win?

Hardly play slots but I occasionally play Video poker.

Planet Hollywood Las Vegas
Video Poker(ACES or higher game)
$1.25 Bet and got 4 aces for $1k.

 

hit 00 on a computerized roulette wheel once trying to teach my chick the game. won $400

 

Why play slots when you can actually play a card game in a casino? I don't really get the appeal of slots.

We

 

The flashing lights, sounds, the anticipation of hitting bonuses and hitting that huge "jackpot" would be my guess. I understand the appeal but it's not for me. Even though the odds are ridiculously against you, it doesn't stop the feeling of possibly winning $10k on a $5 bet.

 

Because I don't have to interact with people.

 

Right there with you, slot machines do absolutely nothing for me. Plus, the money goes A LOT faster playing slots for anything more than $.25 a spin, and you pretty much have to go higher if you want to win anything more than $20.

 

14k this past Thanksgiving weekend at Harrahs Lake Tahoe.

 

Just this past July at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas on a Pan Am slot machine. I hit a bonus round along with one of the smaller jackpots for a total of $900+ on a $2 bet. Previous was a hit of $673 at the Coushatta Casino in Louisiana on one of the Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter machines on a bonus round.

 

I have a long term strategy on the 5 cents slots, and I've walked away with as much as $500 just using my system. I feel pretty good about it. And I play Texas Tea. My biggest bet was Birdstone to win the Belmont at 60-1. I collected big time. I also bet my friend 40-1 that the Reds would SWEEP Jose Canseco and the A's and I took home $40.

 

$300 on a dollar bet, fourth or fifth bet in.

 

Correct.

I'm not a big gambler, so when we go to Vegas, our only objective is to get as many free drinks as possible at each casino. Just put a dollar in a penny slot, bet a nickle at a time and wait for a waitress. Treat her with respect and tip her well and she will keep coming back. It helps if your wife is there making small talk....it cuts down on the slime-factor. My wife can make friends with anyone if you give her 60 seconds.

Sometimes we'll win $10 on a nickle spin and that just means more free drinks. Fun to see how long you can make a dollar last and how many drinks you can get during that time. It's like a game within a game.

 

Dealt a royal flush on a $3.00 poker machine. Won $2500.

 

Back in the 90's the fam was at Paradise Island, Bahamas and my mom and brother (11 yo) were walking through the casino and she played the slots a bit and then let my brother pull the lever...won around $1000. Apparently even in the Bahamas kids aren't supposed to be gambling, management was pissed, and it took a while to convince them to actually pay her.

I'll put $5 in the slots every once in a while, just to chill and have a couple of drinks, but it's not really my thing at all.

 

While in Vegas, we stopped by Old Vegas to check it out and I forget what casino, but I put in $5 dollars on the way out and max betted 2 or 3 times and hit $80 bucks. Took it and left. Thats the most Ive ever played a slot and the most Ive ever won.

 

I turned $13 in video blackjack to $100.

Cashed out and went to a roulette table. Bet $100 on red. Win. Bet $200 on red. Win. Bet $400 on red, employee and my friends talked me out of it so I bet $100 on red. Lost. Walked away with $300. Not a bad night.

 

Yeah, I only play cards, maybe $20 in a slot for the hell of it, but real poker (NL cash/tournament) or blackjack is it.
