Yes he did say that I'm sure, but he also said, albeit without thinking first and in a moment of temporary euphoria, that he & his wife went to that $100 machine where they hit that $400k royal, without the proper bankroll after making an undisciplined move to higher limits. He even wrote in an article about how he didn't even have the bankroll to be playing the $25 machine, and was turned down by several people he begged to go in with him in order to have the overall proper bankroll since the MGM had some "positive play" offer going. He was all over the map, but it all became moot a year later when his father died and left him a little over a million dollars. Shirley's parents told me that while we were all waiting to be seated in the bar at the Hickory Pit restaurant at the Edgewater in Laughlin.
