Seminole Hard Rock Casino And Hotel
I was looking for something to do two nights ago so I decided to try my luck at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino And Hotel in Tampa Florida. The state loosend up the gambling laws there and they now have Black Jack tables as well as slots machines and a poker room. I walked around the casino looking for a game that would'nt break my wallet the first 15 minutes I was there. On the weekends their Black Jack tables have a min. bet limit of $25.00 and $50.00 and there's almost no chance of catching a seat at a $25.00 table so I thought I would play some slots to start with. At first I could'nt hit a thing and soon I was down $80.00. I put a $100.00 bill in a machine with a bonus screen and was planning on cashing out my ticket if I lost $50.00 of the hundred. It had a 25 lines and you could play up to 125 credits per spin. I was max. betting and soon I was down the $50.00. I was just about to quit that machine and move on when I thought screw it and went for the whole hundred. Next thing I knew I could'nt lose a spin and went to the bonus screen 4 times in five minutes. I cashed out at $1200.00. The guy on the slot machine on the side of me had dropped over $500.00 into the game he was playing and quit so I took his seat and was max betting that slot. Soon I started hitting good spins and the bonus screens with big payouts. I hit the cashout button at $1500.00. Now that I had a nice wad and was on the casino's dime I sat at a $50.00 min. $2500.00 max bet Black Jack table. I started ut playing small with bets ranging from $75.00 to $175.00. I was up and down for about 20 minutes then a new dealer took over and it seemed like I cou ld'nt lose a hand. I raised my bets to $200.00 to $350.00 and was kickin a$$! I let that table 1800.00 ahead and took a break playing the slots again. I was betting loose with no bankroll management and soon lost $800.00 of my winnings. I decided to hit the Black Jack tables one more time before I left to go home and hit another lucky table and was betting $350.00 to $500.00. I was so lucky that one of the few hands I lost the dealer messed up and thought she busted and paid my losing hand $400.00. I got home and counted my winnings and happily discovered I had $8300.00 more that I went with. The nice thing about the win was that I did it in seperate hits all under the taxable limit.
