Day 16
Saturday June 27, 2015
For breakfast we went to Magnolia's at the Four Queens with Yahtzee Mike & Margaret. I got Canal Street. It's 2 eggs bacon and French toast. Dee got the Jazz of 2 eggs,toast & hash browns. Mike picked up the tab with his comps. Thanks Mike!

After breakfast we went to the 9/6 jacks machines at the Four Queens again. Dee had the same deal I did a few weeks ago with $200 free play. We also had the ACG coupon for 2x points (up to 500). Dee started off well hitting a quad and then hovering. I was getting slammed going as many as 18 hands in a row with no pays. Flush 4 was killing me, I hit no straights and 1 full house before dropping $200. Oddly I had hit 2 quads. We found it odd that I had more quads than straights, flushes and full houses combined. Dee continued to plug along on her original bet when me and Mike hear here say “Hey, I got it”. We look over and there's a diamond royal sitting on her screen. She got her $2000 hand pay and continued to plug along while I poured more money into my machine.

Things leveled off for me for a while but it still wasn't pretty. Dee continued to play on her original $100 this whole time. I was almost down $300 at this time so it was time for a Hail Mary. I switched to double-double hoping to hit a quad since it was well over an hour since my last one. Sometimes this works out well and sometimes, most of the time I end up busting out. Well today it didn't go according to plan as I didn't hit a quad. I did however hit my own diamond royal for another $2000 payoff!

We continued to play and I started bleeding again dropping another $200 with very little action. Dee continued to play on her $100 and cashed it out at $200. Between us we were down $400 but had $4000 tucked away for a $3600 winning session.

We moved over to the 50/100 plays to change things up and get the rest of our action in. We chose bonus deuces for nickels. Dee started out like a ball of fire again shooting her $200 up to over $800. She was getting good dealt hands and hit everything possible except a royal and 4 deuces with an ace. I was bleeding on my machine even though I hit a number of premium hands including deuces 4 times. Between my loss and her win we decided to switch to pennies. Suddenly she started to bleed but I got hot. Sadly just a few hands after switching to pennies I got dealt 4 aces and drew 13 sets of quints. Soon after I was dealt 4 to a royal and landed 3 natural royals for a whopping $40 each. I'll take it but damn, why did those hands happen at nickels? We got out of the 100 plays even and had reached our play goal.

Afterwards we turned in Dee's coupon for 2x points and then ran some of her free play through her favorite Butterfly 7's machine where you could win a car. I don't think they've ever given this car away and I'm really doubtful we'll ever win it either. Oddly she does fairly well here on this bank of machines. Today she did not. We ran the rest through some penny machines for some fun with a fair amount of luck. Once the $200 free play was run through the machine there was $185 left.

We left the Four Queens and headed back over to Main Street Station with a stop at the Cal for an early dinner at the Market Street Cafe. I got one of the daily specials of chicken katsu and Dee had the ravioli. Mine was standard Cal food, nothing fancy and basic. Dee however said her ravioli were excellent.

We took a break up in the room and then headed out of Main Street Station and went down to the Silverton. We both had offers for $100 free play. We usually play the 100 plays here but today I wished we hadn't. We dropped $1000 between us with no major hits. Dee got nothing better than 2 pair dealt and I got only two 3 of a kinds, a straight and a flush. To make things even worse we got only 7k in action between us.

We started with running the free play on penny games. We started off well and then decided to run the rest of it through Spin Poker. I had $50 left, Dee still had $100 and I cashed in $200 worth of points. Things were decent here especially when I got dealt quad kings. By the time we were done running the free play through we had nearly $600 and got the hell out of there with minimal damage overall.

We left Silverton and went to the airport. The cousins would be arriving tonight from Canada and their flight is scheduled to land at 10:46pm. We got to the airport with plenty of time to spare. Their flight landed on time and we met them at baggage claim.

We loaded everything into the car and were off to downtown. To the D so we could get the Cousins into their room and settled in. I decided it was just going to be easier to leave the car here and we'd walk back over to Main Street Station.

They hadn't eaten in a long time so we went over to the Fremont to Lanai Express. Dee just had juice and I got a bowl of saimen.

It was getting late so we just came back to Main Street Station. I stopped at the Boar Bar real quick to see Ronnie and then we came up to the room and watched TV until we went to bed. This was the latest we've been up this while trip. It's 2am, good night!
