Day 3
Monday December 20, 2004

Dining:
Had the dinner buffet with Mike at the Cannery on a comp from my craps action. I’ve had this buffet before and I think it has gone downhill slightly. Tonight most of the foods were either totally bland or dried out beyond being edible. I thought the desserts were pretty good though.

Gaming:
Today is 5X points at Cannery so I met Mike up there and we planned on pounding away up here for most of the day. I decided to take a pot shot at a bigger win and tried out my luck on some $1 triple play. I was pretty lucky hitting a few quads and getting dealt some big winners. I also hit quad aces two times. I also cashed in a couple of 50-coin bonus coupons. I was up quite a bit but kept playing on. I eventually dropped all the gains and cashed out even including the 50-coin coupon money.

My next shot was over to the craps table with Mike. The table was choppy and after about an hour I cashed out with a huge $19 win.

My next try was some DDB video poker. I’m starting to like this game but I don’t like the streakiness. I was dealt quad deuces and failed to draw a kicker. Even though I hit the deuces I still dropped $100 on this play.

After dinner at the buffet I tried some single line 8/5 bonus. This machine was killing me. I had played over $2000 through the machine and was down $250 before hitting my first quad. I finally hit a few quads to help pull me back up a bit but I still finished the session down $200.

Total win/loss for the day -$250
Total comps for the day $285
