Good morning everyone (just realized this is a long post...sorry too much coffee?)
As anyone knows that reads my postings, I don't post often. I'm never sure Where to post (like now). I'm old and out a da loop! I'm still trying to figure out wth a twitter is. Anyway, we all know I'm old and poor. I'm Not a big time gambler like it seems many of you are. Hubby was "downsized out of a 15+years auto dealership job in November 2008, and Just found a new job that started June 1st. phew! I sell stuff on Craigslist,etc to suppliment income.
Anyway when he got his 1st paycheck (once a month pay..sucks) he was happy to let me have $50 to play on. Hay...that's a lot of cash when you've been without for MONTHS! (Yes, I know that's just a tip to the cocktail waitress for many of you) So I went to English Harbor cause they offered me a 200% bonus to 'come back'. Cool. Yes I know I'd have to play the rest of my life to be able to cash out, but I like playing. I enjoy the challenge,,like seeing how far/long I can make it last. I played a few $2 tourneys and just played around on the slots.
OK. I have't been playing very long (maybe 8 years & not often) and never played big money. I retired from a brick and mortar casino. I know the games are set up as THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS.
BUT, my bitch today is I played a $2 tourney this morning. Honestly I don't ever expect to win. I have won a few of their free roll tourneys though. I just wanted to bitch at anyone that can understand why this tourney made me want to bitch and moan.
This was a 25 line with 3 scatters and you get free spins. I mean, w/o the bonus (whatever it is) in a game you can't get ahead. I made 200+ spins and Didn't get free spins ONCE. I couldn't believe it. Not One Time! How can that happen? If our machines did that bad where I used to work the complaints would have hit the fan, and the gaming board would have been all over our fannys! The games are at least supposed to be fun. MAN. I want my $2 back.:sob: It was like somebody just reached in and flipped the off switch. That's it. That's all I wanted to bitch about. Maybe I'm just too new still to know the trick to get it to hit. I changed my bet, I changed how many lines, I tried standing on my head. Didn't help.
On another note, and since you're here......
Anyone remember back on May 22, when I asked about that letter from Intertops and they said the letter for $50 no deposit couldn't be honored because it past the date on the letter, and it wasn't? I finally got a PM from someone wanting to look into it for me but he wanted my account number etc and 1st...I didn't know if I should give that info out**2nd, I threw the info away along with that stupid letter after it was posted here. What should I do about it? Any suggestions? I bow to your knowledge (as usual).
Thanks folks for listening. Have a great day.
