Within my first hour of play, spending about $200, I won $7,000 on two different machines. I want to mention a visit I had to Atlantic City in June of 2007 and this is not lie. I believe they have really changed the payouts of their machines to help pay for the new $650 million dollar expansion they are supposed to start later this year. But I mean now that $500 is gone in an hour. I remember I used to be able to go and 'maintain' my level of play for hours, allot of times I would end up loosing it all, but I never played more than I could afford and if I lost $500 and played all day with it and had fun so be it. I mean I can put $20 in a machine and not even win a single game and that happens on several machines.
Since then I have noticed that I have won pretty much nothing. The most I won was $5,000 in a single day and that was about a year ago. I guess I have gone a total of about 20 times. I have been going to Cherokee from Columbia, SC for about two years.
