Day 4
Saturday December 12, 2015
When we got up today we started off with a short work out in the gym. After about 30 minutes we came back up here to the room and got ready for the day.

Once we were ready to go we started with breakfast at Cafe Aquarius. This place was packed today because the buffet is closed and because of this the service was slow and really sucked. I had the pecan crusted French toast and Dee had the Denver Omelet. The food was good and filled us up.

After breakfast it was time to hit the machines. We chose to play 3/5 video poker and some Super Times Pay mixed in this time. This was a session from hell for Dee as she dropped 5 bills in under an hour and only got 4k in action. She had a 24% loss rate.

My action was about the same but I only lost $100. My biggest issue was getting good multipliers and not winning anything on them. I had one good hand when I switch to DDB in a hail Mary attempt and caught quad 4's with a kicker. At the rate we're losing if things don't turn around soon I'm not sure what we're going to do for the rest of the trip. On a trip this long we certainly can't continue to lose over $1000 a day while getting no action in.

We took a break up in the room for a while which sucked considering it wasn't even 11am. Dee stayed in the room and read and I went to the casino and played some blackjack. This table wasn't good, but it wasn't bad. It was one of those win one, lose one tables. Good for playtime but not good for making money. Eventually it turned a little bad but then got a little good. It went back to win one, lose one and then I caught a short run and was able to go from being down $200 to up $600. I played a bit more and colored up with a $400 win after tossing the dealer a few chips. It was kind of exciting being the first win of the trip.

I came back to the room to get Dee and we went to Duet for a light lunch. Dee ordered a turkey and Swiss wrap. I ordered a chicken pot pie. It was pretty good especially when you factor in that it was a beef pot pie complete with 1 chunk of meat!

Now it was back to the machines and some Super Times Pay. Things were streaky for Dee but she scored a quad with a 3x multiplier. She also had a few other key hands but still ended up getting whacked. I was streaky too but hit a sets of aces, a dealt quad and then holding a single ace with a 4x multiplier landed a quad for 1600 coins to save the session.

We took a break from video poker and played a variety of penny slots. There were no major hits but we did play for close to 2 hours on a single bill. Not great results but less losses than we'd had on video poker.

For dinner tonight we went to Outback again with AP. Tonight I chose the ribs and Dee chose the chicken tender platter. The ribs were pretty good and I'd get them again. Dee liked her tenders as well.

When we were done eating it was back to the machines again. We played everything from triple play, five play, STP pay and spin poker in 8/5 bonus and deuces wild. We were getting our asses pounded again until Dee hit a set of aces. I hit a few quads but I was bleeding to death. It seemed like I was feeding in bills. Dee continued to hang on after her aces and scored our first royal of the trip on the bottom line of triple play. I continued to bleed when she switched to deuces wild and hit deuces followed by another set soon after. From here she hovered for quite a while as I continued to feed in more bills. I lost track of how many bills went in between us and how many tickets Dee cashed out. I can say I was worried even with these hits were would still be down for the day.

After I cashed in all of the tickets at the cage I was amazed to know we were not only up, but up quite a bit for the day after one of the most wild rides I think we've ever had.

It was getting late so we decided to wrap things up and came back here to the room for some TV and sleep.
