Have to share the craziest slot win ever today.
Sunday is our free play day and we usually head to Atlantis around 10AM. We love going to brunch and they only do brunch on the weekends.
Today, our neighbors hosted a brunch at their house - it was loads of fun and we met some neighbors we hadn't met before. We had to adjust our plans but it was OK and we had such a great time - wouldn't have missed it! J. helped me make scones last night and while they didn't look as great as they usually do, they tasted great and they were a hit. They are always a hit - and we took some to our neighbor T. and he was super happy. He loves them!
So...we ended up heading to Atlantis after brunch - left Carson City between 1:30 and 2:00. I was bummed there were no Dragonlinks available but not surprised. There are only six machines and they fill up quickly - it's irritating (often) but oh well. I am honestly trying hard to NOT play Dragonlinks at Atlantis anymore - they are ridiculously tight (more about that in another post) - but I still like to start there most days.
So...I headed to my favorite free play machine - but didn't hit a thing. Decided to stop my free play and move - told J. I was going to go check in the high limit room.
I don't play in the high limit room much - but there are a couple machines I enjoy - minimum bets are $5ish and that's not bad. Sadly, those machines were occupied, too, so bummer.
I ended up sitting down at a Lightening Cash - Lightening Link were the first of the link machines and I used to love them before my obsession moved to the newer Dragonlinks. Lightening Cash is the 'high limit' version of Lightening Link. The machine was actually 'out of service' but as I stood there looking around, the slot attendant unlocked it - so I sat down quickly. I did the lowest denomination - ten cent - with a minimum bet of $5. I played my free play and won $130 - and then sat there for a bit. Decided that if I played down what I won, I'd be down $200 for the day - and as days go (especially lately) that would be a pretty good day.
A couple spins in, this happened.

My first ever high limit hand pay. Final tally was this:
It was the perfect confirmation of being at the right place at the right time. I was shocked - and overjoyed. Made for a fun rest of the month for sure!
