Wow, did I have a night last night.
At about 9pm I decided to get in the car and go for a drive to my local In 'N Out for a double double and a chocolate shake. I ordered it "to go" meaning the burger should have been bagged, but they gave it to me in the open carton with a lap mat to enjoy in the car. But this In 'N Out did not have a parking lot -- it's a drive thru only -- so I was "forced" to drive. And I could only make a right turn out of the In 'N Out which took me to the freeway on ramp.
The delicious burger must have clouded my judgment because the next thing I knew I was in the garage at Rincon.
Over my last several visits there I accumulated small wins which totaled up to about $3K so I didn't think twice about taking out $1,000 to play. And my first hand pay was quad aces on $5 Aces and Faces (photo below). Then I went to play card craps where I lost $500 in short order. I wanted to preserve some of my win from the quad aces so I played $2 Aces and Faces and ... I hit my first royal of 2014. I was actually dealt a flush with the 4 of diamonds, which I dropped and miraculously the Jack appeared. This was my first royal since October of last year. (Photo below.)
I "locked up" the $8,000 from the royal so I couldnt touch it and I still had a few hundred bucks and went to my favorite $5 Aces and Faces machine... the same one that gave me the quad Aces earlier. I drew a straight flush... which just as easily could have been a royal since the three cards I held were royal cards. (Photo below.)
And then, a little later, quad aces again and I held only one ace. I played one more hand and cashed out the remaining credits. But the morning wasn't over (it was now about 9:30am) because there was free play to pick up -- $150, plus a surprise bonus of $60. So I went back to the same machine that I hit the royal on but this time played Royal Aces Bonus Poker (which the night before dealt me quad aces for $1,000 at 25-cents per coin.)
Royal Aces is a tough game. I was playing at the $1 denomination and went through all of the free play and then on the very last 5 credits I was dealt a pair of threes, and drew the quad 3s for a $400 win. I left the quad 3s showing on the machine and headed to the garage.
