OUCH, I did it again

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...ebadafb458.jpg

This is one expensive free bottle of vodka. This way the promo giveaway at THR yesterday, since I had the evening to myself and had been reading about all the wins and fun times the jokers have been having lately, surely I was due for stone fun and a winning session too.

3 1/2 hours after I walked in the door, after going on tilt, I sulked my way to my car with my bottle of vodka and tons of remorse. I dropped more in that shorty time than I usually allot for a day in Vegas. I never got a hit for more then $60 dollars, low limit, high limit just crap all around.

To top it all off, I don't drink, HHH.

That sucks Darlene, its one thing to lose but not a single hit over $60 is just not fair.

Stay away from that local for a long time, worst thing to do is go back to chase losses. Been there, done that!

Yes, those free gifts get mighty expensive! Sorry to hear about the no go. As much as I don't want to go on tilt, I know I will. I blame mine on the drinking but if I didn't drink, I probably would anyways.

Sorry the slots weren't good to you. Tilts always suck. We've all been there. Better luck going forward.

ouch- I did the same thing yesterday too- went to the new casino in my area, for a stupid free wallet that I'll never use. Couldn't win more than $60 either, was just sucking me dry no matter what I did. I said "one more machine, if I win I stay if I lose I'm out" Sure enough I lost and even though I drove out of my way, went to another casino I should have went to in the first place on the other side of town. I was able to win some of that loss back too. I realized if I'm just not winning i have to go, but have learned that the hard way too.

So sorry to hear this Darlene. I've been there and done that. My friend and I went last week very early in the morning and left shortly after noon because of the same thing. No hits and bonus after bonus of $4.00 only. Very sad....I was going to PM you but my phone wouldn't turn on that morning and I left it at home. Contacted ATT and it was still under warranty and they are sending me another one.
Take care.

We have all been there ; some of us many times. I hate that feeling. I think if we added up all those free buffets, gifts, freeplay, rooms, drinks, etc.~ ~ I don't want to think about it! [emoji33]

Wishing you better luck next visit. [emoji2]

Hell, if I have no control sober, the casinos would love me with a buzz on.

That's typical for my local and since they are the only game within hours, it makes it even worse.

Those free gifts have gotten me too many times.

Thanks, Elf. I had been staying away since my local sucks and it always seems that when I go bored after being away for awhile, I go on tilt.

I wish I had more than one option.

A $60 win is better than nothing, but seeing the $$$$ just get sucked in and never getting ahead from the first bet is a teachable moment, if my the cautious side of my brain could get through to my gambling side. HHH

Take care.

I wondered if you made it, I was in mandatory management meetings all last week and wouldn't have been able to make it, so it we'll have to try again once the sting of this past visit fades.

Thanks, Michelle. I just need to stop looking at the mail sitting on the desk, pulling me in. Oh well, somebody will get a bottle of Vodka for Christmas. Hopefully, it's a good brand and not paint thinner, HHH.

Oh Darlene :( you just need to stay out of that nasty place! It is EVIL!

But I know it's too damn close and I doubt I could resist the pull either. I hope one day those bastards give you a hit to make up for all the angst!

I think I need to pay closer attention to when the female jokers are planning getaways and invite myself along, HHH. If I have a trip planned its easier to avoid that tight ass casino.

That really sucks Darlene, it is a bit funny though that you got a good bottle of vodka and you don't even drink!! I'm sure someone that comes over to visit will enjoy it but they won't have any idea how much it really cost!! Hope to see you this Summer @ Coushatta!!

Sorry you lost. Those "free" items get waaaaay too expensive. I don't know if that's a good brand, I just know it's the one they had on our Laughlin flight on Suncountry Air.

Consider yourself invited! All I have planned at the moment is Vegas April 3-7, AC in July and I will be in Tampa for a night or 2 in December for a cruise. Actually, check out NCL Jade on Dec 4! Maybe that would work....

I can't tell you how many times I've said the same thing to myself leaving the Tampa Hard Rock with my tail between my legs, knowing that I could have covered airfare, hotel and Bankroll for a 3 day trip to Biloxi, Vegas, Reno, AC for what I'd lost in 6 hours of playing. Slots are brutal, absolutely brutal at the THR.

Aww, sorry the slots were not kind. Very frustrating but you're not alone- we've all been there-- so don't beat yourself up about it

I'm planning on Coushatta again, hope I can finally spend some pool time too.

Thanks, I've got to learn to pass up those free gifts.

We will definitely have to get together in Dec.

We need more options locally, but I don't think it will ever happen. I should have used the money I lost to books flights for a getaway. Now I'm back to being on hiatus until the memory fades, HHH.

@Darlene, that has been my slotting sob story for almost a year now:( It makes you sad & down to feed those damn machines and then they don't even play with you. Try to hold out and save up for a M&G with the Joker Ladies, you will have a blast!

Dang, Darlene, that sounded like all of my trips to Cherokee. At least you got a bottle of Vodka out of it. I don't get squat.

Sorry you don't drink, I'm sure it would have numbed the pain a little at least. I can't tell you how many times I lost $200-$300 to get a "free" buffet.

Hi, I've learned the hard way that when you go to casinos to get something for nothing it backfires and you get nothing for "something."
