View Full Version : Howdy!
Longtime reader forced out of lurking by the 10 post count rule:) I live in the SF Bay area and have been enjoying trips to Reno and Tahoe for 30+ years, with several Las Vegas trips sprinkled in here and there. Penny slots are my weakness, guess I am in good company!

Hi Meme, glad you came out of lurk mode. I'm also in the bay area not far from the new Levi Stadium. :)
Welcome, Meme! Glad to have you with us. I am envious of how close you are to Reno and Tahoe. It is somewhat expensive for me to fly there from NC, but one of these days I am going to bite the bullet and make it happen. And just like you, I love the Penny slots. Look forward to your posts!

Welcome to the forum Meme! We have a number of awesome Jokers in the Bay area and hopefully you will get a chance to meet some of them in person one of these days.
Very happy you have come out of lurkdom to join us!

Welcome Meme! Glad you introduced yourself and look forward to your posts.
Wow, just woke up to all of these welcome messages. Thanks everyone. The last time in Reno I finally got a handbag on Tabasco, so right now that's my favorite. Normally I am a man mini roller, no more than a dollar a spin, but after a few too many cocks, I found myself betting max, and whadya know, picked a really fat mosquito and hit for $1200!
That's supposed to be handpay:)
Wow, I really need to wake up, I am not a man mini roller, don't know how I even put man in there, guess I should double check my messages before I post!
Welcome from one Mimi to another! I use to spell it your way on that other forum we belonged to but changed it when I came over here. Thought I was typing stuff I didn't remember, lol. Mimis are in the house!! Look out Jokers, there are 2 of us now [emoji12]

Hi :) Glad to see you here
Thank you. Mimi, my name isn't really Meme, it's Rene, Meme is just something I thought of for a username. I live about 2 1/2 hours from Reno so that is where I usually go. I absolutely love Tahoe but get more comps in Reno. Top three casinos for me are Peppermill, Atlantis, and the Grand Sierra. If I could take the restaurants out of the Atlantis and put them into the Peppermill, I would have the perfect casino😀

MeMe aka Rene.. Welcome! I too have a typing issue.. So sometimes it may appear I am Drunk Typing. You should come to Tahoe next weekend a meet a bunch of Jokers. It will be my first time at a big meet up and I am really looking forward to getting together with this group. Thanks for joining in the posting!!!

Mnvegasgal, thanks for the invite. Trust me if I could get the time off from work I would so be there. The main reason for finally coming out of lurkdom is so that I can read the live trip reports from all of the Jokers who will be there. I have been reading here so long that I feel like I already know ya'll😁 I have been lurking since the really old Smf days!

Hi Meme - welcome! We went for a vacation last year to Reno/Tahoe. I loved it. We had really good luck at the Grand Sierra. It helped us win back all we had lost at the Tahoe casinos...hhh.

Hi Rene, I became a Mimi as that's what my grandson calls me. So cool that you live near Reno. I've been there many times bowling and always enjoyed it there. I also love Tahoe especially during ski season. I live in Ohio and my real name is Natalie. Hope to see some Reno wins!!

Welcome glad you're no longer lurking Meme. Do you have a few favorite penny slots?
Hi Riversong, I like the older penny slots. Kitty Glitter, Tabasco, Stinking Rich, Jackpot Party.....I could go on and on. The Peppermill used to have one of my all time favorites called You Bet Your Life, a Groucho Marx themed slot that was so much fun to play. I really miss it! You don't realize how much you enjoy some of these machines till they're gone😔

Glad you've stepped out of the shadows Rene. I think I'll borrow your autocorrect and start shouting for a handbag! We enjoyed Tahoe and Reno (although we got skelped in both - Sparks was much nicer to us) and look forward to heading back there soon.
Cheers,
Billy

Welcome, Rene! We were in Reno-Sparks last week. It was our first venture downtown, as we usually play at Western Village or Rail City. I think we will stick to our Sparks favorites; downtown seems sad to me.

Hi Rene.. welcome. Love the area around Reno and Tahoe.We live in Texas and go to La. to play.
Hi Chelles and everyone else who enjoys Sparks and the Western Village, have you had a chance to try the Steakhouse there? I highly recommend it! Also Pancho & Willies there has decent food if you stay away from the boring combo plates, and the. 99 margaritas go down very nicely😁

Hi Meme, welcome to the forum. I had a chance to visit Thunder Valley when I visited SF a few years ago. I hope to visit again one day.

Haven't been to the steakhouse, but ate at Pancho & Willie's last week. I also love the salads at the coffee shop, and had one last week as well! I really love the old coffee shops; they remind me of Vegas when I was a kid! Also love the Cal Neva coffee shop downtown ; it's so fun to play Keno when you're eating!

Hi Chelles, I too love the retro vibe of the Cal Neva. My husband hates it, but it is a low rollers heaven! I hope that you have a blast in Tahoe with all of the other Jokers.

My dad liked this place also. I thought it was yucky.

Lol, TAB, you sound just like my husband. I think most people who experience the Cal Neva either love it or hate it. I love it because it reminds me of when Reno was in it's heyday, I miss those days:(
