Yes.

Think the girlfriend and I may head up to Harrah's today!

Thanks to this thread. LMAO

$500, a couple of times. I win more often than I lose. Play smart, don't drink, know when to walk away. Like when you get up by $500.

$120 out of a slot machine in vegas once.

but if you count poker tournaments I've won a few and the most I've won at once was $2,000.

No fold em hold em.

Back when I was playing a lot of online poker, I won thousands. $5-10 dollar tourneys with a thousand participants and I would grind out 6-8 hours and take home a few grand. Won a half dozen, finished top 5 in a bunch more. Every time I upped it to $50-100 tourneys I wouldn't do as well. I prefer playing with fish. :)

at the Bellagio, was up the entire night because my flight was at 6am so an hour before I head to the airport I hit a keno machine for $8000. Didn't even get a chance to spend it in Vegas had to skidattle right after having 80 $100 bills counted in my hand. Was my second trip ever to Vegas. Was hooked after that. Since then I've won $4000 multiple times on those same keno machines at the Bellagio. Different trips, but the most I ever won at one time was the $8000.

I like Blackjack, but I play the 5 dollar tables cuz I want my money to go further. I might be gambling in a casino once every 3 years. My wife likes Roulette. One time, we won 600.00. Another time she was playing and got up to 18 hundred...then lost it all down to 500.00. The funny part is, it paid for our dinner and our hotel, so basically we had a free night out...but I was still pissed because we were up to almost 2k. This is why I don't gamble. I would have quit at 200 (we started with 50.00) and she would go for broke.

Oh well, it was a great night!

I took $100 down to almost 0, then back up to $100. I figured that breaking even was good enough for me and I walked away.

$120

50 cent slot spin paid $1250

And while I agree with others takes that the casinos usually get the money back I still enjoy the hell out of playing and am quite loyal to Caesars Entertainment as they have given more than enough back in comps.My Vegas trip two weeks ago included:

5 nights comped at The Rio
Access to Diamond Lounges with free food and drinks without gambling
2 comped tickets to The Improv comedy show with comped drinks
Comped entry to The Rio's Voodoo Lounge club and comped drinks
All meals were comped and we were given express access to the buffet with private seating
Express access to shuttles with no waiting in line.

So my out of pocket was a plane ticket and gambling money for 5 nights in Vegas.Perfect vacation for me.

Absolutely. You have to look at it as entertainment. When I go to gamble, I take a set amount, whatever I feel like I can burn on a night out. If I come home with some, great. Otherwise, I'm gonna have a great time...unless I lose it all right away...which has happened before...which is why I don't really gamble that much...;)

I lose about 30 dollars each time I go on video poker. I have won 100 dollars a couple times. If you want to minimize your loses play games you are familar with don't chase money and don't get butt hurt when you lose.
