Thursday night we headed to Borgata in AC for an overnight trip. We had a late dinner at Carmine’s (YUM!), headed back to Borgata, got the kids and hubby settled in the room and SlotMommy headed down to the casino to play some slots!
It was about 11 pm when I finally headed down. I remembered the win that Mr. & Mrs. CasinomanCT had on the .25 China Shores slot outside the HL room and headed that way. Luckily, it was open so I threw in my crisp, new $100 bill and started betting 20 lines ($5). Immediately, I could see China Shores was in a good mood today and started giving me action. Things were off to a good start! Within 10-15 minutes, China Shores awarded me with these nice wins:

I periodically kept glancing over my shoulder to check out the $1 Diamond Jackpot slots to the left of me. Last time we were there, hubby and I hit the emerald progressive on one of those slots. After I felt like China Shores was getting cold, I got up and moved on over to Diamond Jackpots.
The machine I decided to play, someone has just gotten the bonus on it for $50. I figured the odds of me getting the bonus again quickly were slim, but I decided to try anyway. Within 3 spins I got the bonus, but no progressive prizes were given, I got a 12x symbol which gave me $60.
I decided to give it a few more spins and luckily my persistence paid off because this time as the fourth reel spinned it landed on the green emerald which awarded me this nice progressive amount:

At this point I wanted to jump out of my seat and scream in excitement because I was shocked that I hit the emerald progressive again! The lady sitting next to me was very nice. She could probably feel my excitement and she congratulated me and said how happy she was for me. All the while I’m texting my hubby my winning pics and he kept telling me to keep up the good work.
After this I played a few more games but I wasn’t really winning on anything. I decided to play a newer dollar machine. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the name of the slot, I did play it last time I was there and didn’t do well on it but I wanted to give it another shot because it looked like a fun game if you can get the bonus on it. If you get three 7’s, you get to spin the wheel and win a prize amount. There’s 3 different wheels depending on which winning 7 combination you get...if you get mixed 7’s, red 7’s or flaming 7’s. Naturally, the flaming 7’s wheel has the biggest prizes on the wheel and the lowest amount starts at $500.
I was hoping for the three flaming 7’s but was still thrilled when I got the three mixed 7’s. So the wheel pops up and the lowest amount is $150 and I thought the highest amount was $750 so I was secretly hoping for $750. But then as it slowed down, I noticed there was also a $1,000 prize on the wheel and imagine my surprise when it landed on THAT amount!

I smacked my hand to my mouth and screamed silently to myself! HOLY SHEET!!! I didn’t expect that! I never got the highest amount on any wheel game I’ve ever played before so this was such an awesome surprise!
As I’m getting my wins, I’m cashing out my TITO’s and I’m starting to realize I have a nice little profit of TITO’s accumulating in my bag. I played various games for about another hour and a half, going up and down. Then I remembered a penny China Mystery game that I’ve hit well on a couple of other times later in the night so I decided to walk on over to it and give it a try.
Luckily, it was open so I sat down and started playing. Within a few spins I hit this beautiful screen:

OMG!!! I couldn’t believe it! ANOTHER BIG HIT! What a beautiful screen too…I was SO happy that I was max betting because it was such a nice payout. The machine kept playing nicely so I kept spinning and a little while later it awarded me with 54 free spins. The payout wasn’t as big as I was thinking it was going to be but it was still a nice win nonetheless:

I played that amount down to $1,000 and cashed out my TITO again. Now it’s about 2 am and I’m walking around with a huge smile on my face. I knew I was going home with a nice chunk of money and I still had some BR left to keep playing. I was having the night of my life with all of these wins and I felt awesome!
I played for another 1-1/2 hours and then I saw Zorro from across the room. I decided to give it a try. I got the bonus on the first spin. I was confused after the bonus because when I added up all four screens in my head, the prize amount I thought I was going to get awarded was over $300, but I only ended up with $12.50? Then I realized that I didn’t get awarded all the prize amounts because I didn’t accumulate enough Z's to win all four screen amounts, only the screen amount on the one bonus screen I had chosen. Oh well.
But the base game was giving me nice payouts so I decided to stick around. A little while later, I was excited to see that I had won the bonus again! This time I quickly accumulated enough Z's and I was able to win all four screen amounts which totaled this:

Woo hoo!!! I was SO excited!!! Another big win!!! Wow, at this point I am beside myself with excitement! I am so NOT used to do this. Normally I lose most of the trips I take to the casino. Occasionally, I’ll win…but IF I do win, I’m normally a one-hit wonder kind of girl…I’ll usually get one big win and lose for the rest of the night. But tonight was VERY unusual…I was winning on so many machines and winning BIG! If felt like I was winning on practically every single machine I was going on.
At this point it was about 3 am and my hubby was texting me to see what time I planned on coming upstairs to go to bed. He reminded me that the kids will be up early and I need to get some sleep. I promised him I would be up by 3:30 am. The truth of the matter was, sleep was the last thing on my mind. It’s so rare that I win like this that I didn’t want the fun to end.
I decided my last game of the night that I would play would be Willy Wonka. And thankfully I chose that slot because Willy was in a wonderfully playful mood and the Oompa Loompa bonuses were coming out constantly. I put my last $100 into the slot and gradually built it up to almost $300. Since the OL bonuses were coming out so frequently (seemed like every 10-15 spins), I decided to hit max bet. Within about 4-5 spins, I heard that glorious song again and my heart jumped in excitement. I couldn’t wait to see what the Oompa Loompas had in store for me with my max bet!
Imagine my excitement when they dropped down FOUR wild reels!!!

OMG!!! I couldn’t believe it. Willy Wonka was screaming “YOU DID IT!!!” and the big win music was blaring and my credits were building up and I just had the biggest smile on my face imaginable!
After I took my WW pic, security came over and told me I’m not allowed to take pics. That was the first time I ever got scolded anywhere for taking pics. I was so scared that he was going to make me delete my pic because it is so pretty but luckily, he let it go.
That was the final sweet win to my unbelievably big winning night! It was 4:30 am (an hour later than I promised my hubby I would come back to the room) and I knew I had to call it a night. So I cashed in all my winning TITO’s and pocketed $4,000!!!! I came with a $500 BR so my profit was $3,500!!! WOO HOO!!! I NEVER came close to winning that much money at a casino in my life! And the best part was that it was tax-free!
What a night! That was without a doubt, THE MOST fun I have ever had in a casino. After losing for 6 months straight and only having one winning trip back in January for this entire year so far, this was my sweet pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! If anybody is still reading this after how long winded this story is, I thank you for sharing in my excitement and sticking through with it! Lol!
