Such a degenerate I am! HHH We are scheduled to be closed on Christmas Eve and have our lunch and distribution of Christmas bonuses on the 23rd. So I'm going to then go home and out to the Mosun for the night and low roll with some of the bonus! But I'll return home on Xmas Eve morning as to not be a total degenerate! :subdued:

Just don't come down to Hollywood (Grantville) because they will try to take your entire bonus plus more. hhh

Sounds like a great plan to treat yourself for the work you have done this year. But you better save a little for KC! Me and you never low-rolled together last trip and I want it to happen this trip.

I'm there for 4 days, it will be all low rolling, all the time! They have all those old Aristocrats which make it easy and fun.

I'm going to camp in penny grove and play OBJ and Buffalo on the cheap. I was going to go to AC the Saturday before as they are giving me a free room, but this will be cheaper in the end as it's closer and I won't be tempted to take as us much money. Merry Christmas to me!

C'mon you need to go total degenerate and make Christmas dinner be whatever you can buy at the snack bar with the comp points you earn from your low rolling. ;)

Seriously have a good time!!

And at Mohegan, I may be able to buy a bottled water! It took me 4 trips and probably $800 in actual cash to earn $5 to treat myself to some Ben and Jerry's, and even then I had to put up cash..haha
My goal is to get more lotto tickets for my YouTube channel. They have a lottery terminal at the casino, so at any time I can get ahead, I'll get some lottery tickets. And probably lose, but hey you never know and in the end the casino would win anyway!

Good luck Ken!

Ever since our kids moved out and have their own Christmas celebrations, we have our Christmas with them on Dec 23rd.

Christmas Eve and Christmas day we stay at the casino. Been doing that way for around 20 years now.

You would think the casinos would be slow but over here they are busier than hell both days!

Continuing the tradition of Walt! Before retirement I was fortunate that the company I worked for was on a calendar year and bonus was always in a January paycheck.

Hope you can increase that bonus at the casino's expense, or at the least, have a great time!!

I got an offer from the casino at the coast (2 hour drive) for "Christmas Feast for 4", call host to reserve two night stay. Awfully tempting, even though we don't have anyone else to take along. Question is, will we be gambled out (and broke) after spending next week in Laughlin?

Mine comes conveniently in cash format, but not close to a full week's pay! But it is about $20 for a year of service, so should be around $240. My dad's company gives a whole $5 and he's been there for 30, he has many plans for his! Haha

Well Merry Christmas to ya! I went many years without one and now the new owners are giving them again, going to be grateful while they are as I know how easily they can disappear.

I know a few guys who work full time at our local grocery store. They also get a week's pay. Even 40 hours a week @ $9 an hour, that's not a bad little bonus!

That along with my $100 lotto win, will make for a nice little night's bankroll. We are done at noon, Christmas lunch, and then get to leave (and get paid for the rest of the day). Should be able to get out there in time to eat again! :D

We give our employees a Christmas bonus check and we will probably visit the casino Christmas Day after brunch ;) Can't go to Illinois because one of our employees took the whole week off so we are short handed.
Good Luck Ken!!

Yes, getting my bonus tomorrow: and knowing that, the buffaloes started to run through my head wanting me to come out and play. BUT, I had to shoot them.

Looking forward to your TR.

My company's bonus is $50. I guess it's better than nothing? I'm taking mine to the casino tomorrow. We are spending Christmas Eve there and Christmas day with family.

Well no, it must be done by 11:30am! It's comical as they turned it in at 3:30pm yesterday, not even 24 hours in the system. Typically it's in for about a week before it's touched. It's all good, it's almost 10am and I only have a bit to go. Then I will take it to the ungrateful salesman and wish him a Merry Christmas!

Lunch is at like 12:45pm, hope to be done by 2:30. Should be able to get to the casino by 5pm for din din! :)

My company cut out bonuses years ago. We don't even get a subscription to the jelly of the month club.... Ha

Monticello Raceway at Christmas, has to be sad sight! That would be cool, I will be headed back in the morning as to not be a total degenerate and be with the family for the Eve. I may meet up with the guy from YouTube I swapped lotto tickets with. He will be there late though, I may already be fast asleep by then. It depends on how the Buffalo be treating me! And some OBJ, would like a progressive for Christmas if the Buffalo aren't roaming. :)

We don't get Christmas bonuses.. But normally get a great bonus in March after year end results are completed and the board of directors approves. Anywhere from 4 -6% of our annual Salary. We even have a bonus day celebration and get a half day off!

For the first time in 15 years my company did not give a Xmas bonus. I can live without it but my coworkers will be pissed when they find out for sure next Monday when we go back to work. As a consolation prize I will get a payoff of my unused vacation days next week.

Assholes, every last one of them. Every election you get your hopes up that you voted in someone with an ounce of intelligence and integrity and yet every time you're left feeling like the kid who gets socks and underwear for Christmas...disappointed, HHH.
