Day 12
Tuesday June 23, 2015
We were up early again today and started off with some pool time before it got busy.

This morning we played more 5 play STP. During the session Dee just got her ass kicked. Few quads, few multiplier and when she did get them didn't get much if anything out of them happened. I was hitting a good amount of quads but my multipliers were weak. I also got dealt 4, 10, J, K, Q of clubs and after dumping the 4 drew a fucking 9 of clubs for the dreaded king high straight flush. I did manage to get up over $200 at one point but then the bleed happened. I went through one short period of 6 hands in a row with no pay outs at all. I had a few more chunks where I'd go 4-5 hands with no payout either. Finally things turned around and I got dealt quad aces for $500 putting my meter at $800. Unfortunately that's how much we were in for at the time. I cashed out so what Dee had on her meter was profit. I put in a fresh $200 and lost $150 without seeing a multiplier. On my last $50 I switched to 10 play and got 3 multipliers netting me a loss of 10 coins. Overall things were bullshit here considering I had gotten those dealt aces and all of the other quads and a straight flush. We actually walked away down $100 after this and I was totally pissed off about this. I think I said the eff word more times on the way back to the room than I had said the entire time the previous 11 days.

We took some time out of the Aquarius ran a few errands and grabbed a few items we needed and then went down to the Golden Nugget. Dee likes it here and since she never got a card in the past she signed up for one. As a new player she got to spin a wheel and won $5 in free play. She also participated in a promotion where they match a competitor offer. We used her Rampart Las Vegas offer for additional $400 in free play. I only wish I was eligible for this promo because I would have used my Aquarius offer for $475.

We took Dee's free play and went in search of the 5 8/5 bonus machines that are listed on vpFREE but couldn't find them. It's possible they are there but we weren't able to check all of the games. Instead we ran it through 7/5 bonus. We were able to turn it into $460 with the help of a bonus quad and a bunch of straight and flushes. Luckily the pay table didn't make that much of a difference since she only hit 4 full houses.

I had a mail offer for $30 in play til you lose chips so got those at the player's club. Dee always likes to play roulette here because of the lower limits. We bought in for $50 each. I also used my promo chips on outside/even money bets. I was only able to turn those into $20 in real chips. I played them all on black and the ball was hitting too many red numbers. Dee hit a couple of numbers straight up but I didn't hit much of anything. When we were done Dee had a $10 profit and I only had my $20 from the outside bets. We had fun for minimal cost though.

We went back to the Aquarius and we hit the casino again. We chose the progressive triple play bank machines this time. Dee played 8/5 bonus which isn't part of the progressives and I played a short version of deuces wild just to change things up a bit. This game was ugly ducks with shorted quints and wild royals but the progressives were high with the bottom line maxed out at $2000 the middle at $1343 and the top at $1158. The dealt royal super jackpot was almost $5000. Even with the high royals the games was still really shitty. Dee was on fire on her machine popping bonus quads, regular quads, aces and dealt full houses. I was doing ok but wanted to cry each time Dee hit deuces on her machine. I wanted to shoot myself though when I held 3 aces and filled a natural quad not on one, but 2 lines. I did hit quite a few straight flushes and wild royals to stay alive. I cashed out even and Dee cashed out with a $300 win.

For dinner we went to Cafe Aquarius. I had the chicken fingers and fries based on how good they were last night and Dee had the 3 alarm burger that had jalapenos and pepper jack cheese. Dee enjoyed the burger and the fingers were great.

We went back to the progressive machines again hoping to duplicate the session before dinner but didn't get that much luck. Dee got in the same amount of action and lost $100. I played deuces again and had the great luck of hitting quad aces yet again and hitting not one but 2 other natural quads. I was in for 2 bills but a short hot streak at the end saved the second bill and I got out only down $100.

Next up we hit the 9/6 jacks or better quarter machines to run through $100 in free play my host gave us for our anniversary. I popped quad threes during the run through and cashed out at $105.

Since tonight was the last night of our stay here in Laughlin I wanted to cash in some of my points that have been building up. I went to the slot club and had them add $500 in free play to my account. This would leave a little on my account in case we wanted to go eat at Arizona Charlies up in Las Vegas which we do from time to time.

We chose 9/6 jacks to run the $500 through. I took $450 of it and loaded it. I hit many premium hands including quad threes twice, fives, fours, and of course aces along with a good amount of full houses. I turned the $450 free play into $480 cash.

We took the last $50 and played it on one of Dee's favorite Quick Hit penny games. We got a bonus round of 25 spins at 3x and scored over 5000 coins. When we'd run the $50 through it was $65 and we took that and ran to cash out machines.

With the huge amount of free play we had it ended up being a pretty good day despite a crummy beginning.

We came back here to the room to pack up some of our things for tomorrow's departure and watched some TV before going to sleep.
