Day 14
Tuesday December 22, 2015
Today we started off with breakfast at Kahunaville. We had a coupon that was good for 2 breakfasts for $14. This is a pretty good deal considering we're on the strip with no comps at the moment. The food was standard 3 eggs, 3 sausage (or bacon or ham), potatoes and toast. The odd thing was the 3 eggs and 3 sausages but only 1 toast.

Today's play took us to back down to the video poker machines. Today just like yesterday the goal is to do 10k in action and see if anything shows up in the mailbox. We stopped at the club and I signed up for a card. It wasn't the original plan, we were going to to elsewhere but, the sign up deal was too good not to take so I jumped on it.

We actually started off by playing a progressive bank for dollars that had a $7550 royal. The best game was 7/5 bonus and with the royal where it was is a break even play but with pretty huge variance. The plan was to take a shot and not go broke doing it. If we lost a few bills we'd move back to half dollar jacks. It was an awful session with no quads or full houses. The end result was - $600 and lots of eff bombs on exactly $1800 in action.

We moved back to the 50¢ jacks machines for some more play. We got more play out of the money this time but not that much. Dee busted out of $100 with only 1 quad. I initially got up over $100 by hitting a quad just minutes after we sat down and hovered for a while. I eventually hit 2 more but after the 3rd one the machine just died and I dropped $125 in profits in about 10 minutes. I cashed out even and we came up here for a break because I was too pissed off to continue at the time. There is no way we should be dropping $700 on under 5k in action.

During the break Dee read her book and I ended up falling asleep for close to 2 hours. That is not exactly how I planned on spending the afternoon.

For dinner we went to The Coffee Shop to use the comps Dee won last night. I ordered the open turkey platter and Dee ordered the club. The food was excellent and my platter had way more turkey on it than it needed. On the other hand at $17.50 they had to do something to justify the price. Dee said her sandwich was good but it only came with potato chips and was $16.50. Welcome to the strip.

After we ate we went to video poker again and hit the machines with the same results as usual. Few quads and me losing a few hundred and Dee losing just $100 again with too little play for what we're losing.

During breakfast this morning at Kahunaville the manager was handing out tickets to their evening show Island Heat. Since we were getting slammed in the casino to the tune of a grand at this point we decided to go to this show. It was nothing special and had the warriors (men) doing traditional dances, hula girls, singers and oddly an Elvis impersonator. This show is normally $51 per person and I can say it's not worth half of that. If you can go for free it might be ok but even at $25 a head there are for better shows out there. Hell, if you want to see a show for $50 spend the extra $10 and go to Mystere.

We came back to the room and I decided to go play blackjack for a while. Things started off good here but turned quickly. I decided that since I was up and now back down to even I'd run and repeat the Cal incident from last week.

Instead I took the money from blackjack and played $1 9/6 jacks. I didn't do bad here at all and had the credit meter covered so I wouldn't see the swings. When I hit my first quad I took a peek and I was up $400. I was amazed by this since I didn't seem to have hit that many full houses and flushes. My only guess was I was playing fast and thought I had a full house on one hand and hit the deal button before the credits racked up. I continued to play and hit another quad a few minutes later followed by another. The next thing I knew I was up over $500. I played a bit more and took the money and ran with the win cutting the days losses in half.
