Have you noticed you win more on your last night?

When we checked back into Vegas on Saturday for the final leg of our trip, one of the workers remarked that you always seem to win the day before you leave to go home. We thought this would be great because at this stage in our vacation, we were just about broke! We had a little money left, but were about done gambling so we didn't need a lot of money. But, we ended up getting $50 in free slot money and won well over $400 in a penny slot machine! We thought that was great! Of course, we only came home with about $100 or so of that, I figured it was "free" money so I'd have fun with it!
This happened to us once in Atlantic City also. We were flat broke, ready to go home until we redeemed our free slot money. With about $20 in free slot money we won a little over $100. I took that to the craps table and won back all the money we had already spent, plus enough to buy dinner with on the way home.
Has that ever happened to you? Or do you just win right away?

Had a great streak at blackjack (made enough to pay for our whole trip) but had to leave the table to see Mystere.

I haven't played blackjack at a casino before, it seems a bit imitadating for me. My favorite game right now is craps - where I took my slot winnings! I didn't do very well at craps on the trip so I didn't play much.

last year my wife and I went to a local casino. I had gotten a few perks from them so we went for the weekend. I got a free room as well as free buffet and $25 in free slot play. Well we checked into our room. After unpacking we headed to the Buffet. It was right at noon lunch rush and the line was long. I said, let's go play these pennt machines till the line gets smaller. So we sat at the machines. In about 10 minutes time on their perk of $25 to me I cashed out $150. So all told that weekend we came home with some cash in our pockets from them as well as the free weekend stay and free food two meals. I never win right away. It seems it is when I least expect it then when I do win I want to keep on winning. But most times I end up spending most the winnings back anyhow even though my wife is telling me to leave. hahaha!
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Your wife sounds like my husband! As soon as there's any winnings he's like - cash it out! Then he thinks it needs to go in the "take home" money. Nah, take home money doesn't happen until I'm ready to go home!

Free slot money even makes it easy too, but we sure were happy to win that time! We were out of money so it was going to be a bit of a boring night without it.

Oh yeah, I took the bus to Altantic City one day, so I had a schedule to keep. A half hour before the bus was to arrive, I left my machine to cash in my coins. I had lost most of my money. After receiving my cash, I was heading toward the door to leave. I passed a machine with my name it, so to speak
. I had a crumpled up five dollar bill which was given to me from the cashier. I said to myself if the machine takes the bill, I would play. It was a dollar machine, so I was going to have five pulls on the handle. Okay, I put the crumpled bill in, the machine took it on the first try. I probably got a cherry or two. I put the last dollar in, pulled the level as I was going to walk away from the machine, and then I heard cling, cling, cling, I looked and I had won eight hundred dollars. Needless to say I missed my bus, because I had to wait for the attendant, and then cash in my money. I had to go to another casino and schedule a ride home. It was worth it though

That's awesome!!! I've been on an AC bus trip before too and my friends were all worried that I was going to miss it. I was doing VERY well at a Roulette table that time.
