The longest bonus I've ever had was also the biggest. I was at the Golden Gate playing Heidi and Hannah's Bier Hall, and initially I won 38 free spins. About that time the cocktail waitress came over and took my order. When she returned, she said, "still going, huh?". The game retriggered a few times with double digit spins - I lost track - and just kept plodding along. She eventually came back and said, "Oh! Another bonus?" and took my order again. The bonus lasted about 45 minutes long, and I won about $1100; just low enough to not get a W2-G. The game was so loud, everyone eventually left the area. ;)
The Mirage tram was a savior from the 120 degree temps. It helped a lot when staying at the Mirage and venturing North strip. You could pretty much stay indoors all the way to the walkway from TI to fashion show
I once got over 500 free spins playing max bet ($4.50) on a Konami Quest for Riches slot. The free games went on for at least an hour. On this one, the compasses are the free spin trigger. I pretty much filled the screen. During the free spins I earned at least 200 additional free spins. The grand total was $3,229.00.
I saw Shin Lim last week as a priority before the Mirage closes. The show was really good. I don't generally care for magic, and he was impressive. His wife also does a performance and it was beautiful and really cool. Totally worth it. Also, longest bonus was 400 free spins on moolah at NYNY. Win a bunch of extra free spins along the way. I was locked to the machine for like two hours 🤣 but it was a $6-700 win so it was worth jt
Excellent show as usual. Jokers Wild used to be known for their excellent 99 cent sirloin steak at midnight. I ate one more than once, but it was back in the 1990s. A friend said it was $1.99. I honestly can't remember. I used to go there on Saturdays for lunch with a group of friends. There was a good salad bar. We were all video poker players and had much fun and a few big wins. I remember us always being lucky at KENO while eating lunch. The Cannery is a real mystery. For a while it was packed, but around 2015 it started to slack off. The buffet was pretty good but they closed it and would send you to Sam's Town. Sam's Town Buffet was excellent - thanks to the prime rib.
I think Boyd Gaming just sort of cut the legs out from the Cannery in favor of Sam’s Town. There was no need for them to own both: Joker’s Wild kind of sits off on its own and could do well with a redo.
@milestomemories Cannery Casino & Hotel (North LV) is still open. You guys kept saying the Cannery is closed and that had me tripping because I used to live down the road from it until almost two years ago now, and it was, and is, still open. You're referring to Eastside Cannery. Those of us who weren't born and bred in LV need that distinction lest we be confused. I never got over to Eastside Cannery and only learned of it about probably around the time it closed, which is probably why it didn't register when you were talking about it in this video. Cannery is very, very much a locals casino. It was cool to drive right down Craig Road on a Friday or Saturday night, hit the Italian restaurant in there, and gamble a bit.
Great show guys! Eastside Cannery* There's two of them and the north side one is open still, Losee road. Prime time table games is absolutely in the morning from 7-11 a.m. Shin Lim and Nathan Burton are actually two of the best shows in Vegas if you ask me. Bye bye Mirage & Tropicana! Heard those Mirage rates are down just a hair but idk if going there right now would be that great of an experience. I heard the elevators often shut off too. Yikes. Vegas is certainly changing extra fast these days. Anyways guys, see you on the next one!
I love the Rhino Charge game, I got over 400 super free games (8 reels per spin). Won just under $1200. It lasted about an hour. Was the min bet I think. Was great, just make sure you don't have to use the bathroom and wait for the Rhino to stomp and snort! After 200 spins I started to stop the reels early and it still took an hour.
During our first visit to Virgin, we were playing Return to the Planet Moolah. The wife, who was playing deep, hit the mystical Unicow and got 400 free spins to start. It retriggered numerous times and took about an hour to complete the bonus round. She ended up winning over $4000, which is one of the reasons we don't bash Virgin.
My longest bonus was over 300 spins on that old Konami game, China Shores, at Mandalay Bay. It took over an hour, and I had to call my boyfriend to come watch the machine while I used the bathroom. I don't remember my exact win but it was several hundred dollars-- and I was betting small.
Right in front of luckley’s (replaced all American), where the Table games are now use to be a lower ceiling with what looked like a shell. The Rio new ceiling looks so much better. The new carpet is for sure making the place brighter.
Thank you to our co-hosts for this bi-weekly presentation. Look forward to your eclectic vlogs. The guitar-shaped rooms work here for Hard Rock. Hope the same for The Strip
I've been at Caesars Windsor and walked by the rhino charge game. I see the chair tilted against the machine and the person's gone. Probably taking a break somewhere while the machines just doing its free games😂
Speaking of inflation, my eyeballs damn near popped out of my skull tonight when I saw the burger price at Fatburger in the foodcourt of the Venetian. It was $22! You can literally go to Grand Luxe, get better food and full service and eat an entire entree for that price. Needless to say, there was no one eating at Fatburger. No wonder that company is closing locations and not doing well. Fast food is supposed to be cheap.
I don't recall how many games I got, but I do remember it was on a Tabasco machine at the Rio, and I played for almost an hour because I kept winning bonus games. (The Rio slots were always good to me, back in the day. Nice to see the Rio getting refurbed.)
i didn't get the Unicow, but got a bonus on Raiders from the Planet Moolah which kept giving me more free games and went on for a full 45 minutes! I was worried I was going to miss the show I was attending at the Mirage (Ron White)! In the end I got $471 on a 75 cent bet, and I made it to the show on time.
I gotta say, the air conditioning is out of control in these Vegas Casinos. I brought all these summer clothes, thinking it was going to be hot af. I am freezing my ass off! I should have packed for winter and brought a down jacket! It is really unpleasant and jarring on the body to go from 100 degrees outside to like 60 degrees inside.
Just stayed at the Rio in room 333 and have been waiting for the hotel to send a guest survey or something so I could give them a proper review of my stay. I got nothing. The "renovated" room as I assume all of the "renovated" rooms are, is only partially renovated. New carpet, new TV's, new mini fridges, new sofas, and headboards. The phones may have been new. The bathrooms, hmmm... I think the shower may have been kind of new as when I've previously stayed at the Rio, the rooms I stayed in all had the tub/shower all-in-one combo. Room 333 just had the shower stall, which was fine, except you had to damn near break your arm to turn the damn thing on. Whenever you turn on the sink in the bathroom, it sounded like the beating of a metal drum in the sink in the vanity area. Lastly, the toilet in Room 333 is not bolted to the floor! That meant that it moved every time you sat on it! The O ring is probably about gone due to that, so every morning around the time everyone in line of that room took a dump, the bathroom smelled like an outhouse that was past due a dozing over. I never knew of or stayed at Rio in it's heyday and I really hope the new owners are able to get it back to what it once was. My overall stay was decent, but I am really hoping at some point that they do a true gut remodel of the plumbing and rooms. I like where they are going with the casino floor and some of the restaurants. The Chinese restaurant there is great, I've always loved the food and service. Glad to see that the Tavern replaced the previous restaurant that was there because that place had gotten really bad. That sports book and that nasty little restaurant that serves it has to go asap. It's just dirty, and the food and service has been horrible for years. Also, the wi-fi has not been properly reset by the new owners, and it is NOT secure. Lots of middle-aged and seniors stay at Rio in addition to a fair amount of the younger crowd. There were, however, far too many children at the property overall (running and screaming thru the halls and in the rooms between 1:30am and 3:45am) and roaming thru the casino floor while I was there. I really wish casinos had child-free floors and kept all children on the lower floors. Having children beside and/or above you acting a fool is beyond annoying. Would love to see a huge Brazilian churrascaria and other Brazilian restaurants (maybe something more upsacle) on the property. Fingers crossed and hoping that the new owners will keep updating the property until they finally get it back to what it once was.
It’s good to see the Rio getting upgraded, and sad to see the Mirage go. They were barely a year old the first time i went to Vegas. But so many places have come and gone in 30+ years. And it’s really good seeing more ‘locals’ casinos getting nicer. Nice enough to draw locals who don’t wan’t the full Strip experience and for vacationers that want a taste but not the madhouse.
Just got back from Vegas. As a MGM platinum member, we have been getting $600 cash for one airline ticket per year. Rewards just notified me next year MGM will give $600 free play, no longer cash. I’m pissed because this is a dig at premier rewards members, as free play costs MGM nothing and takes the real cash benefit away. Shame on MGM, with record profits taking away one real benefit from platinum members. Cash is not the same as free play, which must be gambled at MGM properties. I’m definitely considering just doing Gold membership starting next year.
I didn't know about that - thanks for sharing. I'm not so mad about it being freeplay. I do NOT like that they only reimburse for 1 ticket, and I usually fly one-way because I move dates, or fly in and out of other cities sometimes. If I have a to and a from ticket, I wish they would just add the together so I could get closer to $600 especially when I'm going 8-9 trips per year. Otherwise I'll just have to pay full price for Delta Comfort or FC to get the full $600. I'm too spoiled with upgrades to spend it...
Without the Colorado Bell Laughlin has lost a lot of its appeal. The river walk is detoured around the Colorado Bell property. 6pm 108 degrees, no beer at the Bell!
Sorry to correct or perhaps add to your comment on magician Lin. Before he made it on America Got Talent he was a competitor on Penn and Tellers Fool Us I believe it was season 2. FYI
Unfortunately it seems like there’s just not a lot of benefit to visit Laughlin anymore. You can sports bet on your phone and plenty of states have local casinos where you can play live table games. It will be interesting to see how Laughlin navigates this next phase of its existence. Thanks for the great content you guys! 😁👍🏼
Coomer & Ostermann! Keep up the great work! NHL Draft is tonight & tomorrow at the Sphere. Will be nice to see what they have in store for the UFC fight in September that mentioned.
I hit 585 games on a bonus initially and during the bonus hit several more to total 765. It took 2 hours 10 minutes to play it. I was only betting 80 cents and won $872. I had a ball!
Great jackpot! 872 seems worthy of that many games although that is a ton! I think it would have been more fun if she had been hitting some stuff but most of that money was won on a couple of spins and then it was just deadness.
the little guy with the crazy eyes at the slots looks like the guy on the craps table from the last video? my first time going to jokers wild I couldn't understand why they didn't have at least a small little boutique hotel building, I liked the small casino's vibe and the machines were actually pretty modern.i'm staying at the Rio on the 3 and 4th this week because of these 2 I gonna have to check out the carpet lol both nights comped and no resort fee because I signed up for their new Rio card. man you guy's put a lot of work into this, nice job
To get to most trams are at the far back of the casinos with entrances tucked away somewhere in a corner. By the time you get there you could have walked to the next casino.
After last night on the strip; Vegas will probably post record numbers for this summer. I've never seen it so busy on a hot summer Friday. The stadium with events like soccer and the sphere are really having an impact.
My longest bonus was on Invaders of the Planet Moolah, I hit the Unicow bonus earning 400 free spins. During the 400 free spins it retriggered granting an addition 200 free games over the duration of the original 400. For 600 free games, on a 0.75 bet. Walked away with 800 bucks, the machine button was broken and the bottom got locked, so there was no skipping any spins and I was there for around 2.5 hours.
Profit on gaming revenue is most certainly higher now than pre-sniffles virus. As a local player I used to get tons of free stuff, food, hotel rooms, hundreds in free slot play, etc. That is close to nothing at this point. Staffing maybe more expensive on the casino floor, but there are a lot less staff. Room costs are up, but room rates are up more. Food costs are up, but menu prices are up. The casinos are making huge bank in spite of inflation, do not feel sorry for them!
I was just at the Rio and the carpet looks great, it’s not busy and it does brighten the space and it’s nice to walk on! But the smoke in the casino this time was almost unbearable for some reason…
Pizza Rock is actually a solid pizza, but idk if its top 50 world wide. Its not even the best pizza in Vegas, I would give that to Grimaldi's , but they have a coal oven so that's a huge advantage. Not hating on Pizza Rock, still love there pizza, just a weird list forsure.
Yes as a people watcher, have seen much of the gambler insomnia plus the gamblers on machine too long, ones who gambl d their house away, their lane tickets away, everything they had away, and then some. Kinda sad people just don't know how to call it quits
I hit a Pharoah type machine back in 2010-ish and got over 30 free games and I don't remember exactly how much I won, but I am certain it paid more than double digits. 😂
I've won 400 spins on Invaders from Planet Moola several times and at least once I know with retriggers it was over 500 by the time it was complete. I actually don't mind except when I have plans but for the most part I enjoy watching it, I mean don't we generally play the slots for the bonuses? But if you get 400 spins the winning total is usually at a minimum several hundred and sometimes several thousand. I know on a .60 cent bet I got 400 spins and won $520 by the time it was finished about an hour later. I was more than happy to sit there for the hour and watch it add up. Btw this slot doesn't have an option to speed it up and just take a random jackpot instead.
Got 65 spins on a 1 cent “I Dream of Jeanie” at 4 Queens, back in the day. Started out fun…..but got soooo boring!! So I’m not a fan at all of those long, rebound repeat bonus rounds - had pass for me!!
I spent my honeymoon in 1968 at Tropicana and in the early 2000’s my husband and I stayed at Mirage 2 or 4 times a year.😭 My husband died in 2021 which makes all of this hard to deal with.😢
I saw Shin Lim in a touring show featuring him and four other illusionists. He got the final slot and was very good at producing numerous decks of cards. Only once did he falter and give away where they were coming from.

I’ve had that game max out at 100 free spins two different times
The Mirage tram was a savior from the 120 degree temps. It helped a lot when staying at the Mirage and venturing North strip. You could pretty much stay indoors all the way to the walkway from TI to fashion show
These videos are my favorite part of Friday.

I pretty much filled the screen. During the free spins I earned at least 200 additional free spins. The grand total was $3,229.00.
Mirage was the first place I ever stayed in Vegas.
Sad to say goodbye to Mirage. At least I finally saw LOVE show, so glad I didn’t miss out on this great one. Hope they will move to a different hotel.
I saw Shin Lim last week as a priority before the Mirage closes. The show was really good. I don't generally care for magic, and he was impressive. His wife also does a performance and it was beautiful and really cool. Totally worth it.

The Mirage closer depressed the shit out of me! We were there last week for Love. We stayed there 5 times from 2020 to 2022
@milestomemories Cannery Casino & Hotel (North LV) is still open. You guys kept saying the Cannery is closed and that had me tripping because I used to live down the road from it until almost two years ago now, and it was, and is, still open.

I like the new carpet at the Rio. It was always dark in there.
I had 45 spins on Buffalo Gold and made a little over a thousand dollars. So much fun!
Shim lim show was amazing!! Worth it!!
M2M Thanks for the Tuscany Suites tip. Walked away with some cash after using the free play.
Awesome!
Omg, i love the 3 am to 6 am hours. People watching is lit in a way you can't explain. I love it!!
Great show guys! Eastside Cannery* There's two of them and the north side one is open still, Losee road. Prime time table games is absolutely in the morning from 7-11 a.m. Shin Lim and Nathan Burton are actually two of the best shows in Vegas if you ask me. Bye bye Mirage & Tropicana! Heard those Mirage rates are down just a hair but idk if going there right now would be that great of an experience. I heard the elevators often shut off too. Yikes.

I love the Rhino Charge game, I got over 400 super free games (8 reels per spin). Won just under $1200. It lasted about an hour. Was the min bet I think. Was great, just make sure you don't have to use the bathroom and wait for the Rhino to stomp and snort!
After 200 spins I started to stop the reels early and it still took an hour.

Criss Angel and Dirty Castle for the Bingo card.😃
My longest bonus was over 300 spins on that old Konami game, China Shores, at Mandalay Bay. It took over an hour, and I had to call my boyfriend to come watch the machine while I used the bathroom. I don't remember my exact win but it was several hundred dollars-- and I was betting small.
Right in front of luckley’s (replaced all American), where the Table games are now use to be a lower ceiling with what looked like a shell. The Rio new ceiling looks so much better. The new carpet is for sure making the place brighter.
Yeah I’ll have to do a comparison video at some point.
Thank you to our co-hosts for this bi-weekly presentation. Look forward to your eclectic vlogs. The guitar-shaped rooms work here for Hard Rock. Hope the same for The Strip
I've been at Caesars Windsor and walked by the rhino charge game. I see the chair tilted against the machine and the person's gone. Probably taking a break somewhere while the machines just doing its free games😂
Haha
That Sphere never gets old.
Their graphic designers are 🔥
Mark what do you mean get a Draft in the sphere. The NHL draft was going live at the Sphere as I was watching your show!
1500 spins on China Shores Boosted at South Point. Included 4 Retriggers. 2 hours to complete.
Nice! 2 hours is crazy.
the NHL draft is in Vegas at the Sphere
Speaking of inflation, my eyeballs damn near popped out of my skull tonight when I saw the burger price at Fatburger in the foodcourt of the Venetian. It was $22! You can literally go to Grand Luxe, get better food and full service and eat an entire entree for that price. Needless to say, there was no one eating at Fatburger. No wonder that company is closing locations and not doing well. Fast food is supposed to be cheap.

Vegas with Shin did a video at Luckley at Rio and it looks really good! Really like what the Rio is doing
i didn't get the Unicow, but got a bonus on Raiders from the Planet Moolah which kept giving me more free games and went on for a full 45 minutes! I was worried I was going to miss the show I was attending at the Mirage (Ron White)! In the end I got $471 on a 75 cent bet, and I made it to the show on time.
I gotta say, the air conditioning is out of control in these Vegas Casinos. I brought all these summer clothes, thinking it was going to be hot af. I am freezing my ass off! I should have packed for winter and brought a down jacket! It is really unpleasant and jarring on the body to go from 100 degrees outside to like 60 degrees inside.
Congrats on the sponsor guys, nice! 50K soon!
Thanks!
Just stayed at the Rio in room 333 and have been waiting for the hotel to send a guest survey or something so I could give them a proper review of my stay. I got nothing.

My God. Never have I read such a long comment/review of the room. Next time I go I am going to ask about room 333
It’s good to see the Rio getting upgraded, and sad to see the Mirage go. They were barely a year old the first time i went to Vegas. But so many places have come and gone in 30+ years.

You’re right. I’ve also noticed that the high limit slots at most MGM properties are now tighter than a nun’s chuff
Free play costs them less than 600 but costs them pretty close to it.
so Mark, the National Hockey League is having its annual draft RIGHT NOW at the Sphere!!! RIGHT NOW!!!! Friday and Saturday.
It honestly looks incredible, inside and out. 14,000+ attendance, sellout.
What other channel is commenting on a casino carpet's level of padding?
Gotta love that attention to detail...
Yeah, it would definitely be cool if they hosted a draft at the Sphere. Personally, I think the NHL draft would be a good fit.
Maybe some day…
Hey Mark, what’s The Fresh Company?
Without the Colorado Bell Laughlin has lost a lot of its appeal. The river walk is detoured around the Colorado Bell property. 6pm 108 degrees, no beer at the Bell!
Yeah that really kills the walking on the river vibes.
Sorry to correct or perhaps add to your comment on magician Lin. Before he made it on America Got Talent he was a competitor on Penn and Tellers Fool Us I believe it was season 2. FYI
Keep it up Rio, nice upgrades.
You were talking about sporting events at the Sphere, but you didn't mention the NHL Draft is being held in the Sphere this weekend.
Also, I enjoy the show each week.Thanks.
Almost to 50k. Great info
update from vital vegas, the mirage said they are going to reopen the tram in 2027
Most tables aren’t open 7-9am on the strip besides black jack
Maybe Boulder hwy numbers would improve if the Cannery was open?
They closed it a few weeks ago. Sucks walked all the way to it and no signage until you get to it that tells you it’s closed
I was playing the Wizard of Oz slot at Palazzo tonight and I was getting a ton of bonus features, it was a lot of fun.
Tourism boost is largely ranking up more credit cards and catering to the top 10%
I'll miss the tram! I have a nice video of the mechanic working in his space underneath the track at The Mirage.
Unfortunately it seems like there’s just not a lot of benefit to visit Laughlin anymore. You can sports bet on your phone and plenty of states have local casinos where you can play live table games. It will be interesting to see how Laughlin navigates this next phase of its existence. Thanks for the great content you guys! 😁👍🏼
Early morning is the best time in the casino-- for sure. Fewest murders!
Magic shows are very popular with the foreign tourists who visit Vegas, as there is no language barrier. Asian tourists really love them.
Coomer & Ostermann! Keep up the great work!
NHL Draft is tonight & tomorrow at the Sphere. Will be nice to see what they have in store for the UFC fight in September that mentioned.
Have a great weekend
115ish temps 3rd of July through the 10th nice
I hit 585 games on a bonus initially and during the bonus hit several more to total 765. It took 2 hours 10 minutes to play it. I was only betting 80 cents and won $872. I had a ball!

the little guy with the crazy eyes at the slots looks like the guy on the craps table from the last video? my first time going to jokers wild I couldn't understand why they didn't have at least a small little boutique hotel building, I liked the small casino's vibe and the machines were actually pretty modern.i'm staying at the Rio on the 3 and 4th this week because of these 2 I gonna have to check out the carpet lol both nights comped and no resort fee because I signed up for their new Rio card. man you guy's put a lot of work into this, nice job
I hit the unicow and triggered the bonus with 400 games. Retrigger 136 more along the way for a $2200 hand pay. Took about 70 minutes to play.
Not bad at all!
To get to most trams are at the far back of the casinos with entrances tucked away somewhere in a corner. By the time you get there you could have walked to the next casino.
I walk a ton in Vegas. Most days at least 10 miles. The only time I bother with a team is when it's super hot out.
After last night on the strip; Vegas will probably post record numbers for this summer.
I've never seen it so busy on a hot summer Friday.
The stadium with events like soccer and the sphere are really having an impact.
My longest bonus was on Invaders of the Planet Moolah, I hit the Unicow bonus earning 400 free spins. During the 400 free spins it retriggered granting an addition 200 free games over the duration of the original 400. For 600 free games, on a 0.75 bet. Walked away with 800 bucks, the machine button was broken and the bottom got locked, so there was no skipping any spins and I was there for around 2.5 hours.
Wow what a unicorn!
Yay, almost 50k. That opening slot dude was scary.
Slice House over at Green Valley is really good if ya want a quick slice of pizza on the go. Another great video guys🤙🤙
When I went to Laufhlin this month they said it was dead this year. I am thinking we may be seeing more offers from there.
Yeah! Love me some Golden Tiki.

Profit on gaming revenue is most certainly higher now than pre-sniffles virus. As a local player I used to get tons of free stuff, food, hotel rooms, hundreds in free slot play, etc. That is close to nothing at this point. Staffing maybe more expensive on the casino floor, but there are a lot less staff. Room costs are up, but room rates are up more. Food costs are up, but menu prices are up. The casinos are making huge bank in spite of inflation, do not feel sorry for them!
NHL draft is tonight at the Sphere. Should be great
You forgot the tram from Bellagio to Aria, and yes free!
14:17 NHL draft used the Sphere this weekend.
I was just at the Rio and the carpet looks great, it’s not busy and it does brighten the space and it’s nice to walk on! But the smoke in the casino this time was almost unbearable for some reason…
Pizza Rock is actually a solid pizza, but idk if its top 50 world wide. Its not even the best pizza in Vegas, I would give that to Grimaldi's , but they have a coal oven so that's a huge advantage. Not hating on Pizza Rock, still love there pizza, just a weird list forsure.
Yeah I agree. Very good but not the best IMHO.
About the pizza napoletana, I am surprised that Settebello Pizzeria in Henderson NV was not mentioned.
Yeah it’s pretty amazing. We’ve talked about it on the show before. The crust is so good.
Can't wait to see this finished project, Mirage, into Hard Rock. Not the guitar building but the Mirage building.
The problem with the new Rio carpet is the padding. It is very difficult to roll a suitcase over it.
Yes as a people watcher, have seen much of the gambler insomnia plus the gamblers on machine too long, ones who gambl d their house away, their lane tickets away, everything they had away, and then some. Kinda sad people just don't know how to call it quits
Planet Moolah Unicow 520 Spins. Won around 2000.00 Park MGM
Wow very nice!
I hit a Pharoah type machine back in 2010-ish and got over 30 free games and I don't remember exactly how much I won, but I am certain it paid more than double digits. 😂
NHL Draft is tonight at The Sphere
Accidentally found the tram going over to see Mystere before the announcement that they were going to close.
I've won 400 spins on Invaders from Planet Moola several times and at least once I know with retriggers it was over 500 by the time it was complete. I actually don't mind except when I have plans but for the most part I enjoy watching it, I mean don't we generally play the slots for the bonuses? But if you get 400 spins the winning total is usually at a minimum several hundred and sometimes several thousand. I know on a .60 cent bet I got 400 spins and won $520 by the time it was finished about an hour later. I was more than happy to sit there for the hour and watch it add up. Btw this slot doesn't have an option to speed it up and just take a random jackpot instead.
Hey Mark....Did yiu know the NHL is having their draft at the Sphere tonight!!!! ESPN2.
i had my best night of gambling at the craps table at 3am at the dirty castle one night..
The NHL Draft is there right now (June 28/29)
Around 650 free spins on a China Shores slot. Took about 1.5 hrs. Won $900ish!
I won 400 free spins on Rhino Charge, min bet and ended up with just under $100. It was also the 4 game.
The worst part is through 260 games there was no boost to the Super Free games. 😢
I was at planet hollywood and captured the unicow for 400 games plus about 200 more games on $2.25 bet for anout $1,800 last year 0:15
Amazing!
Got 65 spins on a 1 cent “I Dream of Jeanie” at 4 Queens, back in the day. Started out fun…..but got soooo boring!! So I’m not a fan at all of those long, rebound repeat bonus rounds - had pass for me!!
Double Zero Pizza is awesome!
I got 275 free games and won $305 at MGM Northfield Park in Ohio.
Definitely better!
Hey guys what’s behind the curtain?
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
@@aheroictaxidriver3180 Hilarious!
With the Fiesta hotel and casino Gone. Joker Wild area would be a good spot for a hotel.
I spent my honeymoon in 1968 at Tropicana and in the early 2000’s my husband and I stayed at Mirage 2 or 4 times a year.😭
My husband died in 2021 which makes all of this hard to deal with.😢
Even if you're you're not an advantage player (AP), a win is a win.
No ball cap alert!!!! You have been warned.
I saw Shin Lim in a touring show featuring him and four other illusionists. He got the final slot and was very good at producing numerous decks of cards. Only once did he falter and give away where they were coming from.
I saw that tour also!! In Vancouver
'Really Really Well"
That’s why I go to bed by midnight
