Mine wasn't on VP, but was the most memorable gambling night of my life.
I'd been playing a low volatility (read: BORING) VP machine at the Taj for 3 hours. I was actually getting tired and ready to call it a night, and had the same $100 in the machine that I'd started with. Nearby, there was a section of $5 slots, and I'd noticed that one of them had hit a lot of jackpots. No one played it long, just "hit and run".
So I decided to end my night by cashing out the ticket and taking a quick shot at the high limit slots...something I rarely do. I absent mindedly stuck in the ticket while adjusting the chair, juggling my drink and purse.....then looked at the machine to see only 4 credits. OMG....this was a $25 machine! WAY above my limit!
Annoyed with myself, and too irritated to move again, I decided I'd probably lose this either way, so WTH, I slapped the button, betting 2 credits. JACKPOT for $36K! By far the biggest I've ever hit. I was beside myself and in total shock. It took nearly a half hour to get the check, and the slot attendant said, "remember you still have two credits". I laughed and said "sure....like that could happen again". We were still chatting, and I hadn't even looked back at the machine when I smacked the button the second time....and JACKPOT for $14K. Unbelievable, that I had just won $50K by totally screwing up!
Of course, the adrenaline was pumping, so no bedtime now. Went back to the $5 VP, and played for hours, hitting a royal on the single line game. While waiting to get paid, I moved to the triple play machine next to it, and was dealt 4 Aces for $12K. After another day of play, I ended that weekend trip up $73K....by far the most winning trip I've ever had.
I still refer to it as "the fantasy night"....one I hope everyone has at least once during their gambling life!
