Last weekend I went to Harrahs Lake Tahoe with the wife. As we drove across Northern California we ran into a lot of smoky skies due to the fires centered near Chico, California but as we climbed in elevation and approached Lake Tahoe, the skies began to clear. It was a fairly crowded place as I understand that many people cleared out of Northern California due to the poor air quality. Moreover, there was a Millionaire Maker Qualifier slot tournament and a Seven Stars dinner that weekend too.
The slot tournament consists of 3 minute rounds and if you get to Tahoe Friday you can do the “Early Bird” round as well as the Saturday and Sunday round. The top two rounds of your score are combined so if you expect a decent chance to win, you should be there for the early bird round of the slot tournament. My wife and I both participated in the tournament the weekend but came out with mediocre scores topping at 257,000 points. Only the top 20 participants were in the money and the min score was around 275,000.
The first day’s gambling was rough for us as the video and slot machines were just killing us. I also was punished at the craps tables. It was so bad I went to sleep early while my wife decided to stay up and lose more money.
The following morning, my wife and I had some room service and decided to have a fresh start. And did we ever. My wife rarely plays double double bonus, but she did so as I was watching college football and she hit this 4 Aces with a Kicker.
