    I hit the 5 symbol trigger last night on Pompeii.  The woman beside me was so excited for me.  (Must be a newb)  I told her I'll be lucky to win $25 extra during the bonus and she disagreed.  Turns out I would have been VERY lucky to hit $25 more.   I got $6 more than the trigger.   How many volcanoes did I get in free spins?  Yep, ZERO.  Just brutal.  The curse continues........

    That sucks! Thinking a little about it, I've hit a 5 symbol bonus on an old hot hot jackpot machine, double easy money, $3.00 max bet. All it does is give you more money, no extra spins, however the trigger hit was big (can't remember how much), and if I remember correctly I picked an extra 5 or 600 on the actual bonus itself. A little curse break at least

    The 5 symbol curse hit Scott tonight on the live play, ouch! 

    Good question on the 5 symbol pay - Pompeii hits fairly well for the trigger pay, extremely well if in the bonus. I seem to remember seeing a video somewhere of a guy hitting a 5 symbol trigger with the 2 multipliers during the bonus once, talk about a good night

    Well, I hit the unthinkable last night, 25 free spins on Moneybags. I got the bonus symbol, whale, followed by 3 more moneybags, $1.25 bet, $125.00 trigger win, sweet, definitely not complaining about that. Grand total after 25 spins? $127.30, wow. So, big win but not a big win, I'm not complaining about the overall win, but $2.30 win over 25 spins? Cmon now :)

    It almost seems random.  The cashback always seems predictable as it is $6 for every $1000 through the machine, but free play I agree is a mystery.  Sometimes my freeplay is quadruple my cash back and sometimes it is even with it.  Shouldn't it be a direct computation?  

    My casino also clawed back my weekend hotel nights.  I get three a month and now two of them are only valid Sunday to Thursday.  Its also harder to get a room comped.  They are allocating a greater percentage of the hotel to people that pay vs. those of us who have already paid. (Many times over)  Must be hard times for Harrah's.

    They also stopped changing cards every 3 hours.  Now they change cards once every 24 hours or as needed if one gets damaged/bent etc as I guess it was breaking the bank.  Good place to play poker I guess if you know how to subtly mark the cards.  

     

    Beats me. As a low roller, I don't expect $1,000 comps or free meals in the steakhouse, but I enjoyed taking advantage of the hotel from time to time. Everyone's scaling back, why should casinos be any different? :)

    I don't quite get the algorithms casinos use for comps. The local Hollywood send me $10/month for food, and maybe $15/30 a week in free play. My mom, who gambles less, gets about $10/week in free play but more in the form of free buffets and dining credits. Not to mention they used to send me free weekend hotel stays, but recently changed it to just week nights for me, kind of a bummer.

    It's his high level of enthusiasm, along with a level of slot play that very few on YouTube offer. Scott, Brian, T and the rest of the mods bring a level of entertainment that's worth its weight in gold. Also, the added content is great, I mean, who else brings Hugh Hefner onto a live stream? Finally, it's his accessibility. He doesn't shy away from his fans. This forum is an example, he takes the time to not only meet fans in person, but also interact through sites like this. Keep up the great work guys!

    In a former life when I traveled with work more often, I used to go to Quapaw, OK - there were a couple of casinos around there and Miami, they were...different, that's the only thing I can say about them. Not different in a bad way, just not the kind of casino I'm used to. Quapaw Casino was fun though

    I've had pretty good luck on the Wicked Winnings series, primarily on WW2 and WW4. The problem with WW2 is that the free games 9/10 times don't pay anything. But that one bonus can have the potential to be absolutely huge, even on a small bet.

    I've never won anything big, but my local (back when it was Harrah's branded) used to offer mini games for card holders. You had your choice of games to play, and one was "$100 or nothing" - had to pick the $100 winner from a choice of maybe 8 or 10 spots. Decided to risk it one day and chose that game, and of course won the $100. I keep waiting to hear my name called for a raffle / giveaway, but I don't see it happening anytime soon unfortunately.

    One day I went to my local Indian casino and the bank guys were working on the ATM.  I only had $40 so I plopped it down on my hockey number on roulette and walked to the other machines in the slot area.  When I came back I had $1400 waiting for me as my number hit.  Well that was the best night with the least invested ever.  After 6 more hours at that table I cashed out $15,000 and figured that I should go hammer the higher limit slots.  An hour later, I was in my car with nothing to show for it.  I swear those machines knew it was casino money being fed into them and they got it all back.  So, best night ever was also the worst night ever. 

    Ouch, that stings. I know the feeling, it seems like I'll get a big hit, and then the casino immediately goes back on the take knowing it's their money. It's almost like the casinos don't actually want you to win lol

    As a low roller (I've seen the Raja do my days budget in a single spin !) I wonder what my expectations for Comps should be?

    Being from the UK, I make it to Vegas once a year for a 7-10 night stay. Usually staying at total rewards casinos (e.g. Planet Hollywood, Flamingo etc) I go from zero to platinum by the end of the trip.

    So they usually comp a few nights for my next stay based on my play and I have enough points for a decent dinner at the end of the trip. I usually end up losing around $5000. 

    Should I get more, I've never seen a casino host and the rewards staff don't seem that interested.

    I'm in the same boat as you. My local casinos give me $20-30 in free play per week generally, plus maybe $10 in food, and a free buffet from time to time. I used to get free hotel nights here in town during either the week or weekend, but have lately only gotten free nights for Sunday-Thursday, but oh well.

    We had a new casino open in town a few years back, which I went to maybe a month after it opened. I wound up winning close to $1,000 the first night and gave a few hundred back within an hour or so (but still came out WAY ahead :)). Sure enough, I get an email a couple of weeks later from my host introducing himself. About 2 months after that, when they realized I spent at most $100 when I came once every few weeks, I lost my host - but it was nice when I had him, lol. I made sure to take advantage of some tickets to see a magician plus a nice (free) dinner beforehand, knowing that it was just a matter of time before they pulled that away from me.
