SLOTS Q&A: Readers’ Winning Stories

This group of articles is titled: Slots Q&A. It is a collection of Readers Questions and Comments with answers provided by Gayle Mitchell, Editor of Casino Players Ezine. This article is about Readers’ Winning Stories.

Gayle: I see you mentioned 5X's as a popular slot machine. Well, in my case, you are 100% correct!
I've won on the 5X's (2 quarters) for the top prize of $3,125.00 twice this year (as a matter of fact, it was the same slot machine both times). My husband and I take day bus trips to Atlantic City on Saturdays at least 10 times a year. We head straight to Bally's for the 5X's slots. In Vegas, however, I didn't win.  But my husband won $1,000.00 at San Remo. I thought I'd send you a line and let you know I look forward to reading Casino Players Ezine. LaVerne.

LaVerne: I wish you continued good luck.

Gayle: Just got back from Vegas. I put $20 in the I Dream of Jeannie slot machine at the Bellagio and was playing 27 nickels.  I hit for 6200 nickels!  Gayle I love your column. Thank you for all your slot information. Jeff.

Jeff: Congrats to you. Your wish was granted--Master.   Gayle.

Gayle: I live in a small town in west Texas and my wife and I play the slots in Shreveport and Bossier City La. Last year, my wife hit $750 and $3750. jackpots at  5X pay dollar machines within a few minutes of each other. This was at Casino Magic.
In December, I hit $1800 and  $800 on 3X pay and Blazing 7’s in about 30 minutes.
We were using some of your slot playing tips. I would like to see more news in your report on Shreveport/Bossier. Thanks loads for the slots inf. at your web site.  Martin

Martin: Congrats on your paydays! Martin is not a relative -- I swear! Gayle.

Gayle: I enjoy your slot advice immensely! Several years back, my husband and I stopped at the Pine Nut Casino at Topaz Lake on our way home from Reno. I walked out of there with over $1000 after only 1/2 hr of playing a keno machine. First it was a 5 out of six and while I waited for the payoff, I played another machine next to the winner and got 5/6.
I replayed the original slot machine and failed to hit one number hard enough and only hit 5, I won again. This time was for 5 out of 5 for a payoff of $810--more than Vegas, which paid $500 at the time for a live Keno 5/5! You just NEVER know. We enjoy going to Primm (stateline) for the day.  Vegas caters to the out-of-towners (fly-ins) more than they do the CA people like they did 30 yrs. ago! Keep up the good work! Helen.

Helen: Winnings from Keno--amazing! Gayle.

Gayle: Love your newsletter. My wife and I went to the Horseshoe in Tunica, MS for a few days. Seldom do I play slots, but I took some extra money just to try in a $25 slot. Started on one and lost $200, so I moved to a double, triple diamond slot machine. Played for a few spins and hit for $1500. I was happy. Hand pay was real fast. So I played on for a few spins, had a good feeling, and I hit it for $18,000. I could not breathe. Again, the hand pay was extremely fast. Later I played a $5 slot machine and hit for $1200. So in about 3 hours, I won $20,700. Never in my life have I been so lucky and what a rush for a 54 year old man!
Brought ALL of it home and put in an interest bearing CD for the next 14 months. Hope to go again soon, but that trip is going to be hard to top.  Paul

Paul: Congrats on your win--a wise investment all round, it seems. Gayle.
