    Trying to Stay Online. A Few updates

    I have decided that if every blog you write is apologizing for how long its been since you blogged, you might have a problem.

    My gaming has been very limited for about the last 8 months. My wife and I are expecting our first child in April. :)

    I have had a few trips under my belt but nothing huge to report. I went to Spirit Mountain Casino in Oregon in November. Not much new but the place just keeps getting bigger and bigger every time I visit.

    Went to Blackhawk in January and had a great time. I played a lot of new games and came home a winner. Found the new Monopoly Money Grab and did really well.

    I played the new community Press Your Luck game, not so happy. I’m not a fan of these community games using older games as the base system and only bonus events are themed to the namesake...........

    I Did find the new The Game of Life machine that is actually themed to the board game. Didn’t get into the bonus round but at least there trying.

    And last but not least, the new Deal or No Deal game. I have figured out I could never actually go on the show. You sit at home and yell at people for taking small offers or not taking huge offers thinking you would do so much better than them. I got into the bonus round on one of my first spins and my first offer was something like 1400 credits. It’s hard as heck when the money is real. The lady beside me was betting full credits and her first offer was 20,000 credits. That’s $200.00 on a penny machine, she took the offer and I didn’t blame her.

    Well that’s it for now. I not sure with the little one coming how much I might be able to blog but I'll do what I can.

    Thanks for visiting and Happy gaming,
    JB
