    Curt is a rock star. Jim.... Not so much! The machines seemed very fair in there. i just wish they had more games to play. its still a great space to spend an hour or 2. Good Luck!

    I play texas tea (and Tina) all the time for nickles and this was the first fiver I ever saw. Considering that it was on Free Play I wont bitch much :) As for the older machines they have saved my pickle more than once on a trip. The same old and shitty one I played this time I hit on a few times my last trip as well.

    There was a shift in casino life about 15 years ago. Free Play pretty much didnt exist. You earned points that you could actually turn into cash. You still got your meals and room for free but they werent really sending out free play in the hundreds until these stupid penny games showed up with their horrible odds.

    The casinos thinking I'm sure is that they can toss you $200 in play to get you in the door knowing all too well that you will play the newest "Hot Slot" with 85% payback and piss it away.

    Old and Shitty and $1 slots are now on my radar, thanks for that. The Spirit story had me laughing pretty damn hard, I'm all for chasing low airfares but a cardboard sign for the gate...that is something hahaha. Thanks for the great report, was a joy to read.
