Oh christ, I had fun playing a slot.

Was visting a local casino that I hadn't been too today. Signed up for their player card, and they had a goofy slot-based promo. Wager $40 in the slots, and then get $20 more of free slot play (basically, the slot spin is paid for, you keep the winnings).

I figured it was +EV, so I found a shiny video nickel slot with pegasus or unicorns or something. Actually, it was a pretty slick machine with touchscreens and good graphics and all that. I wagered a buck a spin, and while grinding down to get to the promo, I manage to hit TWO really bitching freespin rounds, and won about $70. Then, when I got the freeplay stuff, I wagered those on some less-shiny slot, and got the keep the $10 in winnings.

Before that, today blackjack sessions cost me about $500 (which is a lot for me).

Did I mention that the slot had really shiny pictures?

Does that make me a ploppy?

Slots has to be about the most boring thing to do in a casino. Just sit there and hit a button. Or if you really want to get into it, you can even pull the lever!

Yeah, this one didn't even have a lever.

One feature that was cool was that if you mashed on any symbol on the touchscreen, it would popup a sort of context sensitive help screen that showed you what it did and what the payouts were for it.

I'm a big video game fan, so I appreciated it from a technical perspective, if not a gambling one.

I play BJ when I want to win some money.

I play slot when I tired of playing BJ--- play it just for relaxation.
