One Cent Dream

I was recently at the Hollywood Casino in Grantville PA. I walked in with $25 I shouldn't have in the first place as the money was to go for a dentist payment. Well I had a bigger bill to pay for and I was short on it by a fair amount (my rent payment).

The first $5 I put in a machine is gone in 30 seconds. Down to $20. I should have known better than to play a game I didn't understand. Joker Poker isn't my thing. At $1.25 per bet I won a little but lost it all in the end.

I'm bummed and now down $5 on my dentist payment. I go to the back of the casino watch this person get up from a machine after winning $3.20. Its a 1 cent machine where you can bet up to 50 lines with a 3 multiplier.

I sit down insert my $20 dentist payment. Quickly I'm down to $12...betting 50 lines 1x each. I'm angry and desperate and I hit Max bet all lines 150 total bet.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!! 12,900 FLAMING 7'S I hit the jackpot. Suddenly I'm up $129.00 I'm going ballistic hooping and hollering. I then play a low 50 a few times for chump wins then bet another 150 and I'm suddenly up to $149! Then I lose $5 in after 20 games and realize the machine isn't paying out anymore. So I get up use the restroom come back watch someone lose $20. Then another person loses $30.

I come back a little later and the a third person is there getting up as I'm sitting down, telling me she didn't win anything either and is down $40.

I'm thinking to myself this game just got back $90 of the $150 it gave to me. So I stand up and wait for more players to lose money until the machine wins back a bit more than what it paid me.

I start playing when I think the time is right and in the 5th game BOOOOOOM 12,900 again! and the machine pays out to another $150!

So now I have my $25 dentist payment. All of the money I needed for the rest of my rent. Plus I have an extra $100!

I had to leave but given I now know the secret to this game, I'm going back and keep watching it. I made roughly $300 in 30 minutes. Until a tech changes the computer chip I'll be making $300 an hour!

Find me in 8 hours with $2400 if not more!
