That was Royal #6 on the year:

$5 Royals (2) one at Caesars, one at Rincon
$2 Royal (1) Caesars
$1 Royal (2) Rincon
25-cent Royal (1) Rincon

The reason I went back this past weekend had nothing to do with win goals, loss limits or any thing in between. I had a $500 shopping spree, plus $1,000 of free play, plus I had a Father's Day event in town. But if you want to hear a whacky story, here it is:

Friday afternoon on the way to Caesars I took a "detour" and went south to Rincon where I swiped my card on any slot machine and got a "bonus" of $410 comp dollars. I took the detour to have $410 comp dollars to use at Caesars. I estimated the cost of the detour at about $20 for gas. I also found that I had $140 of free play, which I played on my usual 8/5 Aces and Faces $2 machine and I hit quad aces for $800 plus some other wins and I cashed out $1050. I immediately raised my "loss limit" to $800 and played the $250 on the $5 Aces and Faces game and hit a straight flush right away for $1250. I pocketed $1240 (tipped $10) and played down the remaining credits to zero and left for Vegas. The detour at Rincon that cost me $20 of gas got me $2040 of cash plus $410 comps from the promotion for the day, plus some other comp dollars/points for the small amount of play I put in.

And I won't tell you about the two quad aces at Caesars on Saturday... that would be too much for a recreational player to have.
