We are planning our future gambling trips to the new Megastar and Winstar. You can’t even win enough to play a while.
I have noticed big banks of machines shut down and more and more machines have huge max bets. 2 free spins - that’s ridiculous! Many times the bonuses pay nothing and many of the machines are bonus driven. I’m playing all lines and betting several credits per line. Last week I hit a free spin bonus and it gave me 2 spins and $0. The last four trips both I and friends have hit our limit in an hour and have to face another 2 hour drive home smarting from the continual losses. Sometimes I came home with money, sometimes I didn’t but I could usually play for many hours. I have moved to a new home two hours away but still try to go with my friends twice a month. They quit offering the rooms and opted for a few dollars of free play and $5 of food twice a month. I didn’t mind dropping a few hundred dollars when I could play for a long time and stay in a nice room. We used to get free room offers and took advantage of weekday stays at least twice a month. It was only about an hour drive from my former home and a fun place to go for a few hours.
