15 minutes by bike to holland casino (netherlands) the slots are great because the most slots are not allowed online in the netherlands, more realistic than online. sometimes they have live on stage show and last month i won a mystery jackpot (a laptop) i go there only once a month and maybe less i spend about 1000euro last time i visit the casino. |

"Carrying those big buckets of coins around was the best!!!! If you won big, someone would have to go get you another bucket to carry your winnings in up to the cashier where they would dump them all into that huge hopper. (counter)" I was in Vegas many years ago at the New York. I sat beside this man at a nickel machine and took a good look. He had 1,000 coins on his counter - the machine would only hold 1,000 - so every time he won, the coins would drop into his hopper (that happened to me on a quarter machine once fun! fun! fun!). His hopper was FULL. He had large cups full of nickels, 4-6 on each side on him. He had large cups full of nickels around his feet and chair. I don't remember how many I counted, but they were piled EVERYWHERE. I always wondered in he lost any from thieves - how much money he had actually accumalted - if he worked for the casino, and they gave him a set up loose slot to draw people in - how many people it took to carry those to the cashiers cage for him - and also if he's sitting there. He was (and still winning) when I left. |

with online casinos no one is going to walk up and put a quarter in the machine you just left and hit a jackpot. all the money you've invested will still be there when you go back to that game.

Very good point...About one quarter and the jackpot after you leave the machine. I suppose there are people that crave the lights , the noise, the crowds, bad coffee, waterdown drinks, and lines to most every restaurant and restroom. If they do, then land casinos are for them. I'm not saying I don't like land casino's as I go often. I do love the fact there is NO waiting for your money if you win except to walk to the cashiers booth and cash out. I feel it much easier that way as not to change your mind as we all can and have with a "reversed withdrawl." This post has been ALOTof fun, thanks for all the replys. PMM2008  |

Just got back from a trip to Topeka, KS. (I live in Wichita). I haven't been there is years, Ok casinos are closer. But they have really battened down the hatches on winning in OK, this past year, so I thought I would give Topeka a chance. They are tighter than Ok - I don't even want to go into how much money I spent (I had just won 5,000 on the net) - BUT with all I spent, I only once had a tax ticker, and I only once saw another person get one (she actually won 3 jackpots in 15-20 minutes). LOUSY LOUSY LOUSY!!!!!!!! Have they tightened up the machines everywhere? What is the point in gambling if you lose so fast, NEVER get even a 100 credits to keep you spinning, I have had it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I played ALL types of machines, from pennies to 5.00 (just a little on those). And I played at ALL hours of the night and day. Tight times, tighter machines, people are going to stop playing period. I know I am totally totally disgusted. I don't mind losing money if you can play and play because you get even little wins. But CONSTANTLY losing - no fun at all.

Hi Gang: Went to the land casino last night. I am playing slots and not doing so well. The guy next to me leans over and says " Oh, 2 days ago I was playing that machine and hit for $1000." Don't you just hate when someone does that? Arrrgggghhh  PMM2008 |

Hey Y'all, I was going to try and keep my post short, sweet, and to the point. This will be my third attempt, so maybe its the charm. Online or Land Based Gambling??? I've lived in Las Vegas for decades now, and have experienced the old Vegas! I have too many words to describe this unbelievable time, in an incredible town. I could go on for many, pages about the old and the new, but most would find this longwinded not too mention rambling on. SO, short, and sweet. I play a little online but I like winning the jackpot, the ole' cash in hand, isn't that the reason for playing a game? I have yet to hear of large jackpot winners, that received their correct winning, in a timely manner, and without a poop-pile of faxed confidential financial paperwork, regarded as necessary for identification. PLEASE!!!! And if the winner doesn't supply the crap, who are they going to complain to?  People that barely speak English and in a foreign country! To long of odds for me, short and sweet. I don't think most players would continue playing a game, they knew they couldn't win?? But, I've been wrong in decisions before! Maybe its just the proverbial carrot story and I think its BS? My opinion is landbased hands down. Just doesn't seem like a win to me when I have to wait for the prize and prove I won it. Stay Lucky! Pokergranni |

Well I must say I had an experience at the land casino last night that would certainly NEVER happen with an online casino.
We played our free money, was leaving with 60 bucks cold cash, and as we walked out a drunk decided to start yelling. "Hey" he said over and over. We at this point had no idea if he was talking to us or to himself. He kept yelling, louder and louder..."HEY." Pretty soon we were aware he was following US into the parking lot. He was scary. Big, drunk, and yelling in the worst way for us to turn around. We didn't. We at this point changed directions and headed back up to the casino entrance, big drunk man right behind us. We had a ways to go though. At this point he is yelling other things to us I cannot write on our friendly forum. We run, he runs, we go left, he goes left, we go right, he goes right, yelling for us to stop and turn around. We make it to the entrance again and grab a car valet guy to get security. As one of my party leaves with valet ,I stay behind to wait for the drunk guy to show up. Here he comes.... At this point security comes out and I stood there right next to the drunk guy and point right at his face, "He's the one." I say. Well, security knew all about this guy. He was drunk, had been kicked out of the casino, and was supposed to be in a cab on his way home. Someone dropped the ball and he snuck away to the parking lot, hence starting our experience. No words on here could define the fear we had while this was going on. After the haul the guy off to the cab this time, and PUT HIM IN, we decided we would get an escort to our car. We had had enough for one night. My point I guess, is this would NEVER happen at an ONLINE casino huh? hahaha
