Gambling Traditions

On another forum this is a recent interesting topic and got me thinking.

I don't have traditions, but think it might be fun to come up with one and start on my next gambling trip (not at the local). I'm thinking maybe one spin on a $100 machine or 4 spins on a $25 machine.

So do you have any traditions?

When I stay at Mandalay I always start slotting on the same machine. When I stay anywhere else I start on buffalo stampede.

I usually walk the casino to soak in the atmosphere first. Don't have a local, so most of my trips are to Vegas. Once I find a machine (babies or buffalo), I'll put in a $20 and hope that keeps me playing for a bit before I have to move on. The first drink I order is a strawberry daiquiri or rum and coke, depending on my mood.

Each casino in Vegas I have a particular slot I always start with. As I look back at my past trips, I may need to rethink my strategy. [emoji15]

Odd we don't have any gambling traditions after all these years. I guess we have Vegas traditions instead.

I always play a 5-line, $1 Wheel of Fortune machine in the airport at Southwest Gate 4 when I arrive ($20) and when I leave (whatever I have left). I have a pretty high win ratio on that machine.

I always play Hot Red Ruby for Mom. Her favorite machine.

Every trip I make I always put something completely random in the safe when I get in the room.
The last time it was a Reese's Egg.

I always play my freeplay before touching any of my bankroll. I have had a few trips where I won something where I never had to touch my bankroll that I brought so it has just been a tradition for me everywhere I go.

I have started more recently trying just $20 in a machine that's a big bet for me, either a $5 machine or a 5 line dollar game. So far nothing too good, have had some hits that I'll just play down but I know one of these times it will be a huge win.

I think my tradition is to win early.. so I get cocky bet bigger and lose all my money. Sad but true.
