Happy Birthday to ME!

Back in October(ish) I got an email from Boyd Gaming inviting me to a Slot Tournament at The Orleans Casino in Las Vegas. the invite included not only the tournament but a room for 3 nights, my friend and I jumped on it and here we are.

Unfortunately they sold out of extra entries so she couldn’t compete, but she nonetheless stood behind me and cheered me on through the two sessions.

Speaking of the two sessions, I played twice for 15 minutes each. It was the Red White and Blue machine with the max bet of 2 coins preset. Getting the Red White and Blue 7′s (in that order) was the big hit and paid 1,000 credits.

For the first session I sat next to a man from Minnesota, I didn’t hear where exactly but he said it wasn’t too far from Hibbing when I mentioned I had family there. His wife was playing at another machine a distance away (the machine numbers were randomly drawn) so my friend cheered for him as well since he was a good sport and was joking along with us. the lady on the other side of me however was not cheered for since she acted crabby when I kept singing along to the awesome soundtrack they were playing.

The first session I scored 13818, which when compared to others in my vicinity seemed average. The highest score we saw was a bit over 20000 and the lowest was around 9000. The second session when I surpassed my first score I was happy, but again my score of 16028 seemed average compared to others.
