After xmas lunch and church, I'll be at MBS again (with my non-gambling girlfriend who wants to try her luck at the Shopping swipes)
After our xmas lunch, my girlfriend advised me going to MBS due to the Orchard Road Shutdown {she also changed her mind over the feasibility of the MBS Draw swipes } - the MBS buses might be affected etc .... and said it was far easier to go RWS with the Chinatown MRT N-E Route to Harbourfront
So I changed plans and went to RWS 1st instead
No chance at IslandDelight again - so crowded
I happened to choose a 'right-timing' Fortune King slot at CashExpress which was VERY generous with the Mini JPs and was paying out well
The highest I had at one point of time was when I had 'accumulated' the winnings into a 3k ticket
BUT I was kinda stubborn in trying to force the slot to 'repeat itself' with the bonus free game payouts by using 150 credits ALL the way (INSTEAD of reducing to the more-sensible 30 or 60 powerplay credits as using 150 credits simply wiped out the earlier winnings fast when the payouts become harder/lesser etc)
AND I guess I wasn't 'really myself in my usual state of 'saner mind'
It's all bc the EX happened to call me out of the blue with festive greetings that xmas evening while I was playing there
Darn - I'd already ignored his earlier am SMS since I didn't wish to go thru' all that emo again [leave me alone, don't disturb my hard-earned peace etc again ... can't you tell from my 'cold repeated return greetings' :(]
Dunno whether it's sheer co-incidence or what, but my play went rapidly downhill after that and no recovery was made at RWS at all ....
Somehow my original thought to get to MBS by 8pm Sat just vanished after that too
Also withdrew more bankroll from the ATM :o
Finally only caught the RWS88 Bus to CityHall/Coleman Street after 4pm Sun {after today 26th Dec this service will be terminated too}
At MBS I didn't really fare much better ....
The Silver&Gold etc slots were NOT producing (got 2 Minis from CashTrain slot)
Tho' I DID get a 5 and a 6 Quickhits and a FUN Run at the B1 (1st GoldStorm slot from the right-hand side of pillar - only one that wasn't occupied) - this slot occasionally gave out some really GOOD payouts of over 100/300/1k credits which helped sustain play for some time - if had more funds/bankroll (told myself to leave a minimum balance unplayed!) and time would have loved to play longer here !!!
I left after 9pm as need to go home to get my hair washed for Mon work etc ......
Think I took the 'wrong cooling soups - kiamchye duck + white carrot soup' at RWS bc my throat coughed badly after that now :o :(
Sighs .... my knee pain 'comes & goes' ...
at times it's ok tho' more often than not it hurts especially after I get up from seating etc ...
JJCC88,
If u r the superstitious kind, then it's better not to take salted veggie soup or dish before or during gambling, cos salted veggie in hokkien/teochew stands for bad luck or lousy luck..hehe.
Yup - learnt from my mom that the salted veg soup was the cause for the return of my knee-joint problem too - damned suay luh !!! :(
Tink it best u go see a sinseh for yr knee cap pains, they work wonders with the suctions cups and needles technique.
I'm now having a course of Tibetan wellness treatment that is somewhat similar in nature here - with suction cups and heated flames (had resisted this much earlier thinking it too gimmicky etc ... but changed my mind on undergoing it recently) :p
Guess with age, really need all the help possible from some good treatments to maintain our health & wellness (looks/gravity ?)
Stay healthy and adhere strictly to your money management, seems like u get emo quite easily
True ... am a very sensitive creature here
But then I guess most ppl in my shoes wld be feeling the same too :o
Anyway, i was with a fren at the bankbuster slot in RWS orchid room last night, quite generous payout my fren got there, he manage to get 2 minor & 2 mini with just 100 credits bet, win ard 500 bucks from it.
Dan
Mailer just stated Limited Edition Chinese NY Golden Coin Set of 8 - with 8 lucky Chinese characters and different rabbit designsWhat kind of material are the Rabbit coins made of?
saw one uncle playing 50lions @ MBS Lvl 1 (2cts)... first row 2 lions and the remaining 4 rows all diamond... but guess wat.. he play only 1 line...
Sometimes i really cannot understand what is the fun playing 1 line while waiting for the jackpot to drop...
Guess this is what is known as 'Max playing time with Min $' ???
Guess their objective is Not FUN but simply Hit JP with minimal amount of funds ???
I myself when I'm too 'lazy' to collect the balance credits, will simply REDUCE my credits to 'fit' the available balance and IF I should get a Good Hit will be 'cursing myself' for being so suay as really very WASTED to get such on MIN CREDIT instead :(
I recently hit a minor JP while playing just 1 credit. I like playing JP and most of the time with minimum bets. And I am having fun playing this way.
I have no idea what's the fun of 1 credit slot play, I rather play the iphone app or Aristocrat "leak" programs - 50Lions, Indian Dreaming with Cash Express feature, Altanic and Orchids at home.
Once, I was sitting beside a lady playing 60 credits while I was playing just 1, we both hit the JP feature about the same time. Guess, what? She got 3 pandas, while I got the minor JP.
It's simply your luck at that time, JP feature especially the FaFaFa, it will take age to get the JP feature "visit" your machine if you play 1 credit. Whileas max bet player get it once every 3-5mins.
On another, an Auntie walked up to me and commented that I should be playing at least all lines to win. I thanked her for her suggestion and ask if she won at the slots. She replied that she have lost $12,000 over the pass 4 weeks, just on slots. She also added, that she will not be visiting again soon, as she has lost almost all her savings.
12k in 4 weeks, that's a lot, don't know how she played?
I have played slots in a few casinos and seldom losses. And, it is possible to hit JPs with minimum bet. Try it out for yourself. I tried playing all lines too, but seldom wins.
It's true that min bet can also hit the top progressive JP, but the fact is your chance is just too close to impossible. The lowest ever top progressive JP winner I saw was 15credits bet, only saw once. I cannot remember how many I saw max bet player winning JP. If 1 credit play still can win money, I suppose you can win $$ from whatever games in casino. Of course when we say win $$, it got to be at least a few hundred dollars, not few dollars.
Do I get the fun of seeing all the actions, playing all lines? Sure, on my iPhone apps.
Honestly, are you really having fun when you are not winning? I remembered someone posting that he/she almost fell asleep while playing!!!
Me?
..................................
No - ME [jjcc88] !!
I was about to fall asleep or dozing off NOT because I wasn't having fun but bc I was tired out from lack of sleep due to the all-nighters luh !
Those who drive won't appreciate others who want to stay as long as possible due to the 'difficulty' getting there 'transport-wise' etc .....
Belated HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone !
I'm back home now ....
On Friday afternoon had started off after 3 pm at MBS and was doing pretty well
Then went to collect my complimentary Pointer Sister concert tickets
Still 'UP' till I restarted play after the New Year fireworks :o
Boy it was a real 'human crush' trying to get into the casino at L1 after the concert
Nvm .... just treat as TRYING out various NEW Slots at MBS so won't be as painful etc .....
Love the Wheel of Fortune 1ct at B1 lining the wall
ONLY max $4 per spin but on the whole CAN generally get hits or the WOF Feature within the 1st (or 2nd) $50 note
I managed to hit RED or the 2nd-top $500+ WOF Bonus too
Think MUST play a fast round of these slots on EVERY trip
At the NEW Area, besides the PLAYBOY Platinum slots (No longer as responsive as my 1st day's play there) I also tried-out some new slots such as Gold Central and SIRENS .....
Kia - the MBS ATRONIC games are up again
I was winning at the Egyptian Dreams 2nd slot before going for the concert
Also the inner corner CashTrain Fortune Foo slot diagonally facing the Asian Dreams Atronic slot gave out some very good wins too BEFORE the concert
The other CashTrain slots were ALL occupied :(
The Silver&Gold/Diamonds&Roses slots were pretty responsive as most of them gave very frequent Free Games etc (both before and after the concert 1st Jan)
However Kia's standalone 5Koi slot - wasn't good again
I found the Gold Storm Quickhits round the B1 pillar - some were still relatively 'OK' either before and/or after the end of 2010
Spent very little time at 2 L1 Quickhit slots
Got a few times 5 Quickhits only this time
(Forgot to check out whether the Power Platinum L1 slots have been moved : bc at B1 there're ALSO some Power Platinum slots at the NEW Area - only tried out one and again found it very difficult to get the PowerGame Bonus feature)
I also won again $700+ from the 10c ShenLong Slot playing just 50 credits (just near the B1 Pillar Quickhits)
I think I've figured out a 'system' to get the Bonus Feature (or HIGH credits ) from within the 1st 2 $50 notes fed in
ONLY thing lacking is : HOW to ensure that the coloured pearl picked is NOT the minimum 20 Wilds ?
Again I MUST Force myself to have DISCIPLINE
Go for ONLY Short Trips (or break & rest) since most of the time I am positive/up during the Initial Hours
STOP before my winnings get eroded away :o :(
It's not as if I have no luck at all with slots etc
It's just that my Initial Winnings get wiped out with continued play
As stated before, IF I have mainly all sessions where I DO NOT LOSE I'll be Very HAPPY
(bc then no need to dig/dip into funds for more bankroll ..... so long as the bankroll "remains for perpetual play without diminishing" that's OK with me as the bankroll is merely a 'tool or a necessary means for me to have my slot fun' !)
Had originally planned to go off to RWS after the fireworks or later during early am etc ....
to test my NY luck there too
BUT with the NEW assortment of slots at MBS, found myself quite 'entertained/happy' at MBS
(probably also bc quite put off by the RWS crowds and the dampish yuckky RWS carpet smell etc)
ALSO bc RWS had that Kiam-Chye Soup which caused my painful knee to return :(
Found myself eating at the MBS new FattChoy Express for convenience
The Laksa and Steamed Rice not too bad (if only they had cockles too in the laksa !)
They should ALSO include a couple of simple dessert in the tiny menu
Today they've added Steamed Soups and some Dimsum fare too
Bros - from 3rd Jan MBS is having the 2nd Exchange Program
Use your PD to exchange for Slot Credit/Table Chips
BTW - on New Year's Eve Friday I received an SMS from RWS that I've been upgraded to Gold Rewards membership
(Hmmm will my Genting Worldcard ALSO be automatically upgraded to Silver then ???)
FYI, if you got joint problem, u shouldn't be taking sour stuff.
