Sorry Bro about your loss.I've so far donated about 20K. But that's hell alot of my money. Yes, will sit out this time at least after the LNY. Hope the Rabbit Year will bring me some luck.
My present donation is somewhere 'well after your (blackhole's) 20k but before slotloser's 95k' .... hope to have more control etc so that the ultimate total won't be any where near or close to 90k at all (if I'm not careful, that 90k can so easily be reached :o :()
JJcc, I hope you go for your well earned holiday....and perhaps return with a better luck. I think, in the long run, even our winnings will lead us into some disastrous financial ruin...So better exercise more restraint...and perhaps spend our hard earned money in more productive and enjoyable pursuits...
But of course we should also NOT deny ourselves the sheer joy of playing the slots now and then...but we have to exercise restraint and discipline: as advocated by so many our our experienced forumers here.Discipline and Restraint. I hope the LNY of The Hare will give me the Restraint and the Discipline.
Good Luck to all and KeongHeeHuatChye!!!!
On Sat night I decided that Sunday will be my casino day (had a certain FEEL)
So set phone alarm for early wake-up alert knowing that if I want an Island Delight slot, I have to be at RWS early before the crowds arrive
Inspite of my leaving the house just after 7 am (even earlier than going off to work !!!), I only made it into the casino around 8.30am !
The 5Koi slots are under maintenance and all the Fortune King slots were already occupied ... so I 'stationed myself at a 50 Dragons slot' hoping to be able to take over a nearby Fortune King slot once it became vacant
True enough, in less than half-hour, I was able to quickly do a COLLECT and switch slots (luckily no-one else to fight with me here)
Thank goodness I targetted a 'correct/good responsive slot'
I really had a great time playing THIS slot for many hours
The FREE GAMES were frequent, also had full 5 ingots a few times playing 150 credits which initial payout was already over 1k credits, the feature payouts were pretty good too, with re-triggers etc
We KNEW the 50K JP will be dropping anytime soon and even my neighbour (since he couldn't get any free Fortune King slots - he'd played my slot and the one behind earlier on Sat night and said it was a good slot) who had no choice but to play the Pelikan Pete slot beside mine said he'll just continue playing for as long as possible just to be "satisfied in seeing into which slot the JP will drop" - but he gave up after noon-time after he ran out of cash & feeling tired/hungry and his buddy continued at same slot till 2pm but they were both betting minimum 25-50 credits only
Then a lady sat down next to me and in barely 5 mins SHE got the message on the screen that she'd won the JP 47.7k++ [Sunday 2.20pm]
She'd turned to me asking me WHAT was that all about too !
Talk about LUCK !!!!
She was playing higher 125 credits tho'
My first 1st-hand experience of seeing how the JP drops here ....
TIP : Take CASH bc a Cheque will mean waiting at least a half-hour !
I continued playing till just after 3pm [at that point only very marginal loss]
Then had something to eat and played some of the 2cts slots at Maxims
This Sunday they were not too good -----> losses only
Then went to Smokey Area
The Silver&Gold slots - found it disgusting that the cleaners didn't clear-off the messy cigarette butts and didn't enjoy playing in such dirty smelly circumstances - anyway not so good today too .....
My fav CashExpress FortuneKing was quite co-operative today
Managed to retain at more-or-less Break Even Levels [minus off $200 or so]
I was asking myself : Should I STOP and leave with just marginal loss or play on ?
As expected the losses increased to $700 - 800 the longer I played tho' there was another chance when the loss minimised back to only - $250 - $300 only
BUT itchy me {being me} would only tear myself away when I'd lost half my bankroll and when it became clear that further play will only mean more losses bc the few machines by then weren't being co-operative at all ......
I left after 11 pm and took a cab home in good time
I really enjoyed playing that responsive Island Delight Fortune King
Very shiok - maybe my Gold Card IS luckier (would like to think so)
So nice to see the full bonus features with great spins/payouts .... especially in the morning .... later in the PM the free games etc were less frequent and harder to come by ....
On & Off - still have that uncomfortable Coughing (due to phlegm) but otherwise should be OK (I hope !)
My intended next casino trip - from Thurs onwards to MBS where I'll have my Sat Stayover before the CNY
Must do my rooster shopping fast and to buy some Euros etc for my coming trip [pls fall fast....Euro :p]
