I check out and move to the California.  I’m in degenerate mode.  I haven’t showered because I’d prefer to shower at the California than at the Golden Gate.  I’m still all pissy about paying for my meal (GET OVER IT ALREADY.)   I try to check in and I’m told my room is vacated but it’s not cleaned.  So I have to come back later for my key.

Fine.

I find a Vibrant 7’s slot machine with a progressive of $332.  I play and get up a little bit, but never hit it.

I kept great notes this time.  I always seem to do better with note keeping when I’m broke.

This is what it looks like for this round on Diamond Spinner:

$10- $15
$10- $30

$10 – 0

Change machines

$10 – $15
$10 – 0
$10 – 0

Time to break another $100.

I lose the $100.

I played quarter Double Double Bonus video poker, nickel Supertimes Pay video poker, and my Diamond Spinner slot machine.  I win nothing.

I take a break at the California coffee shop and get some Eggs Benedict.  I am on vacation, I can eat breakfast for every meal if I want to.

I should go to my room now and recover.  But I don’t.  Instead, I decide it will be more fun to lose one more $100 bill.

It wasn’t.

I lost $400 today.  Gross.

I get room 1337.  I didn’t take pictures of the room because it looks just like the last two rooms I had here.

I go right to bed.   I’m woken up at 8:00 pm by a text.   I know I should stay in my room and call it a night but I don’t.

I lose $100 at Main Street Station.  I go back to the Golden Gate, where it seems I last saw my luck.  I eat at the Golden Gate diner for the second time today.  This time stopping to get a comp slip first.  I have learned my lesson.

Once I’m done, I go over to Fremont and play quarter Supertimes Pay video poker.  Honestly, at this point, why not.

I turn my first $40 into $80.

Turn my next $40 into $360!  Look at that!  Sixes with a 5x.  This is probably the best hand I’ve ever had with a multiplier.  Ever.  AND IT’S ON QUARTERS.

As I’m all psyched on my hand, the dude behind me is playing a ten play fifty cent machine.  He is dealt aces, and picks up some kickers.  I didn’t want to stare so I couldn’t see how many kickers but his jackpot was $7400.  Imagine? I wanted to take a picture of his win and post it here and claim it as mine, but then I remembered I am not a liar.  He was all psyched as hell and you could tell he was just dying to scream “LOOK EVERYONE!  LOOK AT WHAT I HIT!!!!”

I went to cash out and someone took my machine.  Understandable. But she is wearing open toed shoes and has her gross feet up on the ledge, touching the machine I am now stuck with.  EW.  I hate people so much.

She is also playing nickels and is playing one per line.  On Supertimes Pay.

I am dealt a full house (still on quarters) so I cash that out at $60.  I go to redeem my TITO ticket (Oh yeah, that plan I had days ago to hoard all my TITO tickets?  Yeah, not so much.)  When I come back, gross rude bare feet touching my machine slob is gone.  I lose.  She broke my machine.  Filthy pig.

I go over to Fremont’s Vibrant 7’s slot machine and put some money in.  Wouldn’t ya know it?  The chick next to me has taken off her flip flops and is now barefoot and has her bare foot up on the ledge, touching my machine.  When did this become acceptable to have your DISGUSTING feet bare and all over things?  I don’t get it.  I don’t.

Then she hits the sevens, which seems a LOT more impossible to do than it was when I first played this game.  She would have hit the progressive, but she doesn’t have the extra bet enabled so she doesn’t get the bonus.   Neener neener karma you filthy pig PUT YOUR SHOES BACK ON OR TAKE YOUR FILTHY FEET OFF THE FREAKING LEDGE.  PEOPLE PUT DRINKS THERE YOU PIG.

New rule:  If you feel it’s okay to put your bare feet up on the ledge so they are in my sight and touching my machine, I feel it’s okay to light a cigarette in hopes it will make you go AWAY.

Okay.  Where was I?  Oh yeah.  I had just wandered over to the Vibrant 7’s game at Fremont, where I immediately lost my mask of sanity over someone’s bare foot touching my machine.

Here is what I did:

$10 – $0
$10 – $15
$10 – $25

This allows me to go again.

$10 – $0
$10 – $0

And I stop.

I walk around to the other side of the bank and play a game called “Rawhide Marshall’s bounty”.

I do this:

$10 – $0
$10 – $10
$10 – $0
$10 – $25

Let’s go again.

$10 – $0
$10 – $0

Fine, I’ll stop.

I walk to the other side of the casino and find Viva Monopoly slot machine.  I turn one ten into $15 and then next two to zerooooooo.

I do a money check and see that I broke ONE hundred dollar bill for tonight’s gambling pleasures and I now have THREE hundred dollar bills, plus an extra $80.  Pretty sweet.

I am dyyyyyyyying to play quarter Supertimes Pay video poker again.  It’s right there, hello – hi!  Hello!  But I’ve been really lucky with winning after losing twice my daily budget earlier in the day so I don’t push it.

I settle on playing Treasure Chest video poker.  I get 8’s and pick the treasure chest with 180 quarters in it.  I cash out at $50.
