Mark Shows How To Be a High Roller!
So this time I’m gonna show what it’s like to be a high roller & win millions! (well maybe dozens!)
The game of choice for us locals is predominately video poker. Really the only ones that play slots are tourists.
One of the weirdest things about moving here was seeing video poker machines basically everywhere! Yes, they’re in the airport as anyone whose traveled here has seen, but it took some getting used to seeing them in the 7/11, the grocery store, the gas stations, and especially all the local bars.
Anyone that’s played knows that you drink free while playing, just be kind and tip the cocktail waitress at least $1 per drink. It works the same at the local bars. As long as you’re playing drinks are comped and tipping well keeps the drinks coming (and stronger too!)
Anyway I was out at my usual haunts over the weekend and was playing some video poker. Usually I don’t have the greatest luck but got lucky and hit this awesome hand on a Friday night:
That’s right folks. A royal flush! The very best hand you can hit playing video poker! It’s only the second one I’ve ever hit.
Remember before when I said I’m gonna show you how to be a high roller. Well look closely at the picture. That’s right folks. I was playing a nickel machine. 50 cents a hand. HUGE stakes! the hand payed a whole $200! American dollars thank you very much! (Of course worth about $17 with the devalued dollar these days!) Ehh I can’t complain it got me some new shoes and a nice dinner!
The very next night (that’s Saturday for those of you keeping score) I was out yet again (2 nights in a row! Somebody stop me!) and was playing some more VP and somehow managed to hit this beauty:
4 aces! That’s the second best hand you can hit on VP. Again notice the high roller here playing nickels. I’m like butter baby, I’m on a roll!
(Hey now! Be sure to tip your bartenders & waitresses they’re working hard for you. 2 shows on Sunday, try the special!)
Ok sorry I got carried away & thought I was a comedian again. Anyway just wanted to show you that anyone can hit it big in Vegas. Even me!
When I played a penny machine, because the units are so small they want you bet multiples for each row. So instead of do it manually I accidentally pressed a button, that made me bet my whole $20 on one hand. And of course I didn’t win nothing.
