Today is Sat. 10-24-09. We just returned from our trip to Mount Airy Casino in the Poconos but before I start about today I will tell you about yesterday. It generally sucked all the way around. I went solo which I don't like to do but wife had other commitments, a basket auction run by her sister for the school. It started for me at the Sands Casino at Bethlehem at about 12:30 to 1:30. I dropped the $105 in slot cash and another 100 of my cash and didn't hit a single bonus. Very unusual for me. I should have taken the hint and went home but I hoped my luck would be better at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.
I was at the Sun at about 3:00 and dropped the $110 slot cash bonus in about an hour with only 3 bonuses, 2 on Cleopatra and 1 on Enchanted Kingdom. I grabbed a snack at Johnny Rockets, then went back to the machines. I hit several bonuses on different games but they all stunk. Bets were between .80 an 1.25 but none paid more then 10 times my bet. I believe for a bonus round to be considered decent it must pay 20 times your bet. To be considered a nice hit it should be 30 times your bet and up. A great one is 100 times your bet and up. No matter what your bet level is. A 20 dollar win on a .20 cent bet is a great win for that level.
Well I hit a small bonus on a Tigress that seemed to change my luck. I hit 2 line hits for a total of $70 bucks. I moved to a Glitz machine and hit 3 line hits. The three were for a total of $85. I moved to the Glitz machine next to me and hit a line hit for $108. I had covered most of my losses and headed for the door. Tomorrow is another day.

Now for the play of today at Mount Airy. It was my wife and I and she brought a lady she works with. It was a great day for my wife. She had the 3 big hits of the day. She started off on a Glitz that I did not get to video as I had gone to the restroom. She hit for $110 in a bonus. On the very next machine a Great Eagle she hits for $400 and when I started to video the bonus I didn't have the camcorder on. Lucky she caught it and I was able to get the rest of the round. After that I went around the corner. I had downloaded 25 slot dollars into a Carnival of Mystery and cashed out at $65 cash because of a nice line hit. I went and hit some small Glitz bonus rounds and she moved on to a Slotsky. She called me over to video and went on a run of 6 bonus rounds and a nice line hit. I only kept 3 of the bonuses because the other 3 stunk. I played a few dud games and then hit a couple bonuses on a Jade Elephant. If you watch the video you'll see that the one bonus was hit on my last spin, only 5 credits left. The wife moved over to a bank of Instant Winner machines. I was having no luck so I took a walk over to her just in time to video her Instant Winner $240 hit. She had just moved over to that machine and just pushed the button when the bonus hit, a Scattertainment. We then went to eat at Betty's Diner and after eating we hit a few more bonuses but were starting to drain the bankroll so we hit the road. I had a losing day, my wife about $500 to the good and her friend about a hundred to the good. A nice Saturday trip all around.
