jackpot!
we just got back from a grand weekend in vegas… good times.
so, i’m waiting at the elevators for everyone to come down, and naturally, i’m drawn to the slot machines nearby.. i pop $20 into a machine, and a janitor dude comes by and tells me that just last week, someone hit the jackpot but only played $1, instead of the $3 max. i take this to heart, and begin playing the max $3 bet.. i lose $18, without winning anything, which leaves $2 in the machine. i think for a sec whether or not to add the $1, decide not to.. and hit the jackpot. whoohoo! the first slot machine i played, and i hit the jackpot granted, had i played a buck more, i woulda won the progressive (which was like $1000), but since i subsequently lost all of the winnings on the craps table (and a rousing game of “all in” casino war), i guess it’s all a wash..
all in all, it was a fun weekend. went wakeboarding on lake mead, clubbing at rain, and buffeting at mandalay.. and of course, that’s not the whole story cuz “what happens in vegas stays in vegas”.
