    Hey. I’ve heard múltiples are the best :kiss: but it comes back as a stronger vein when realized once again in real time.
    Not really bad for someone who couldn’t find a machine that would :wave:even “like them”. Hmmmm. :rolleyes: Congrats on the positive trip. :D

    Wow! 2 Royals, congratulations! Great pics too! That’s interesting/disappointing about the MyKONAMI free play. Did anyone say it was only for use at the resort it was redeemed at? I was planning on using my 5 premium rewards for $125 total MyKONAMI free play. You may have saved me a lot of time and irritation. Enjoy the rest of the trip!

    I did a somewhat detailed write up on the buffet in my TR last year at Thanksgiving, and I liked it enough to have it again on Christmas day. Their dinner is pretty mega chain italian standard, and their all you can eat pasta special doesnt include anything with meat or gratuitous amounts of cheese, so it's not for me, but the breakfast was a great value in my opinion.

    I had another good day yesterday. I am updating now as I was too drunk to do it last night. Apparently when you lose count of how many raspberry lemon drops you've had its bad.

    I started my day yesterday playing some Mississippi stud at Bally's. They actually had a $5 table going! Played there for about two hours. Left mainly because they were going to make us go up to $10, so it was a good time to cash out. Left the table up $55. Never hit anything bigger than trips but was happy leaving up.

    For lunch I made my way over to Cosmo since I still had RC to use. Was gonna buffet since I'm a creature of habit but forgot to make a reservation and the wait was 1.5hr, so decided no. Tried Holstein instead. I didn't have a boozy shake as all the sugar in it just didn't sound appealing at the time. I had the Forager Burger. It was a decent burger. I'm not super fond of when places try to fancy up a burger a bunch. So it was good, but I prefer a good non-fancy burger.

    After lunch I went down to try some slots again. Played some Wonder4 and it promptly took my money. So I switched over to a regular Buffalo Gold machine and had some luck there. A few good hits and ended up winning back what I lost on Wonder4 plus some.

    Then made my way to Chandelier Bar to play some VP. Put in the $300 ticket from Buffalo and that was gone. So since I'm still up from my royal yesterday decided what the hell and put in another $100. Glad I did! Luck turned around again!

    I cashed out the first time for a potty break just under $1000. Came back and put and $100 in. Found some more and played for quite a bit longer until I ran through all my luck and cashed that out with about $50.

    After cashing out (and at least 6 RLD martinis in) I stumbled upstairs for some secret pizza. I think after that I put money in a few random machines with no winnings. Decided to make my way back to Bally's and stopped for some ice cream on the way.

    Finished my stumble to Bally's. Threw some money in a few more machines I think...but was able to stop myself and head upstairs before I did more damage. Overall I am heading home up $700 from my initial bank roll. I am super happy to have had a winning trip! Can't wait to be back in December (however it will be with my husband, so my gambling will be toned down, lol). Sad to leave but had a great trip! Thanks for following along and sharing in my excitement of my 2 ROYALS!

    Ya those RLDs sneak up on you! Been there!

    Going home is sad, but going home Up makes up for that. So happy that you finally hit a royal! And 2 even! And I can't even be jealous, because you sooo deserved it. You were due!

    Safe travels home!

    Awesome report! Thanks for sharing!!! Congrats on the RFs!

    What time were you playing Mississippi Stud for $5 at Ballys? Going to be staying at Paris next week, and if they don't have $5 MS, might sneak over to Ballys and play.
