Hello to all and Happy Holidays,Once again its time for me to complain that I dont have enough time or money to go to the casino's. I have made very few trips up to Blackhawk this year and never much to write about when I did get to go up.Life is going great for me though as Im happy to announce that I have another child on the way. Expected arrival June 26th. Also we have just purchased our 1st

Hello World,Well things have been quite on the gaming front. Had a really good trip up to Blackhawk in July. Hope some of you liked the twitter updates as I went through my day. I really liked it, it not only was fun to tweet while playing, it seemed to make my money and day last longer.Thoughts from the trip:1. I really like Viva Monopoly. Love the bonus rounds execpt for the craps bonus since

Wow how the world changes. I was already to write a mega trip report from my birthday trip in February, but when I came home I was so deflated that I didn't want to even think about the trip.I lost a little more than I planned but not more than was in my means by any manner. I got a little bit of extra money for my birthday and just decided to have some fun.It wasn't the trip that deflated me it

Black Hawk Colorado Sunday January 18th, 2009 Planning: The goal for today is to play the Happy Days game. I found, by surfing casino websites, that the game was listed at Bullwhackers Casino so I will start my day there. No mailer or coupons to spend this month so I'm free to visit wherever I want. Actual: I didn’t get much sleep, as always, spent most of the night tossing and turning or

According to the Rocky Mountain News, the first town to vote on expanded gaming will be Cripple Creek on Dec 16th. Black Hawk to follow on Jan 13th and Central City will vote sometime in March.Even with the early voting, if passed, the new hours, limits, and gaming will not start until summer of 09.Read the full article here.J

Borrowing a great idea from http://www.thebadgambler.com/ I will start posting the flyers I get from the local casinos.My first to post and comment about is from the Golden Casino Group. This encompasses 3 casino's in Black Hawk Colorado. Golden Gates, Golden Gulch, and Golden Mardi Gras Casinos.This month's flyer is different than normal in one major way. Like always there are coupons for food,

With a fairly large margin amendment 50 has been passed by the Colorado voters.Now it is up to the individual voters of the 3 mountain towns to vote on the expansion of gaming. Most reports say a vote could be held after the 1st of the year with changes going into effect by June.The hardest part is over, now its just a waiting game.Have a great day and Happy Gaming,J

Today is the day. While most of the world is waiting for the results of one of the most important presidential races in our history, I will be watching the ticker at the bottom of the tv for local ammendments results.Crossing my fingers that ammendment 50 will pass. I will update the results as they come in.Have a great day and Happy GamingJ

Ok I’m not interested in politics. I don’t have the time to be an educated voter so I’m not even registered. I'm tired of all the ads on TV, radio, and in the mail but there is a bill on the Colorado ballet that I'm paying attention too.Amendment 50: Limited Gaming in Central City, Black Hawk, and Cripple CreekThis amendment would allow the towns in Colorado where gambling is allow to vote on

I have made quite a few comments on this site about Colorado non smoking laws and how it effects the casinos. Ive been interested to see how other states have been doing on this issueI have found a new blog which covers most of the topics I like but from Atlantic City Casinos perspective. I emailed him to ask how the partial smoking ban was working in AC. This is the link to his site with a

Trip Report July 29th 2008 Blackhawk, Colorado On Sunday I was finally able to go up the mountain for a nice evening of slot machines. This trip was sparked by 2 mail flyers, one from Mardi Gras Casino and one from Fitzgeralds Casino BH. Mardi Gras was a 2 day only $5 coupon which I thought was weird, until I received my mailer from Fitzgeralds announcing the grand opening of the new gaming area

No trips recently but I did get a great email the other day.WMS Gaming has started a new website called “The Game Room,” Inside this virtual casino are box tops of WMS latest game release either about to hit casino floor or just released.Currently featured as of April 23, 2008 are Lucky Meerkats, a second edition to the popular Lucky Lemmings game, Wizard of Oz, Press Your Luck, and few

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.

I like to take notes while at the casino's so I can refer back to them when I writing a new blog or a slot machine review. Seems I always forget little details about the machines if I winning or mostly losing, other than how the game payed. So Ive been wondering about using my IPOD as a voice recording device while sitting at a slot machine to take notes.I decided to call a couple casino's and

Here's a couple of things that have passed by my email and the local news.Ameristar Blackhawk Colorado Casino Temporarily closesThe Ameristar Blackhawk Casino never opened Friday Aug 24th, 2007 due to damage that had occurred during construction blasting for the new Hotel and Casino expansion project.

Yet another version of WMS Gaming's "Jackpot Party" has been released, and it is now on the casino floors. To my knowledge, this makes it the 3rd version on the floors today. Colorado has Jackpot Party Classic, Super Jackpot Party, and now Village People Party.As is the case with the first two versions, Village People Party is the same in line configuration, but symbols have been changed to

Bally Gamings Double Dragon Frenzy (click link for corporate site with photos and online video)This is a 7 reel 50 line configuration machine. The pay table was very hard to understand but it was paying so I didn't mind much not knowing why I was winning. Symbols on the reels are ying-yang symbols, coat of arms, and exploding firecrackers.

Well, as you can tell from my countdown clock, I'm heading up to Blackhawk on Saturday. This is a perfect time to ask me questions.............. OK, so I want to be interactive. I want to know what people are looking for from my site.

As of January 1st, 2008 Colorado casinos will be a smoke free environment. Currently one casino, The Wild Card, will still be able to allow guest to smoking under a provision in the law which says that if the establishment makes more than xx amount of money from tobacco, it can allow smoking.I'm very excited as I'm a non-smoker and somewhat allergic to cigarette smoke but with this one casino

Colorado Casinos and Gaming First let me paraphrase this by saying this will start book report style and then get back to my normal witty charm and very casual writing style. I'm not the book report type... Legalized gaming began in Colorado on October 1, 1991, as a result of a voter approved amendment to the State Constitution. This amendment allowed gaming in three mining towns,

I love that feeling. You go to the mail box every day and find either junk mail or the dreaded "B" word. Occasionally, if I'm lucky, I go to the mail and find either one of my casino magazines or a letter from one of the local casino's. Its like a cereal box, I opening it hoping to find a prize.Some are just the normal monthly flyer promoting events or new games but sometimes, owe sometimes,

I lived in Florida for 4 years and I must say for a casino player and more specifically a penny player like me, it was a rough period of time.You have two options when it comes to slot play in Florida. You have either the Seminole Hard Rock Casinos in Hollywood and Tampa or your choice of casino boat cruises. This has changed some since my time in Florida with the new laws allowing slot play at

What a title to a blog, but believe me It has a purpose. Now the date of this trip has been debated by all parties but the story is the same either way.It was the Summer of 1998. My parents and I did a road trip from Oregon to Texas, over to Las Vegas, down to San Diego, and the home to Oregon. Lots of driving but allot of fun, until Las Vegas that is.I was 18 at the time.

Hey guys,My site is all about Casino's and Slot machines but without the newest and latest technology we would still be pulling on one-armed bandits looking for cherries and bells, boring.I try to keep up with technology as much as possible.

As you can tell from my chip maps, Ive been to casino's all over the US and elsewhere. Ive hit the so called "big one" once and here's my story....Now, what is the "Big One?" Well I deem it to be the highest paid line bet allowed by a machine. Not a win in a bonus round or mystery prize but 5 lined up symbols giving x amount of credits.My "Big One" came in 2001 at Spirit Mountain Casino in Oregon

Trip Report for Sunday March 25th, 2007 Planning and the Drive An scheduled trip up the mountain was just what the doctor ordered. The day started at 6:15 am with some computer work and finding my Players Card binder. Bankroll for this trip was a total of $60. There wasn’t much in our reserve as we are saving like crazy for our cruise and I didn’t want to dip into my St. Maarten

Just as I post the link to Flickr, I find a site to post my map to this page. At the bottom of my page is a new map with direct access to my photos.I used trippermap.com it was very easy to set up and gives you the HTML coding to post directly. This is the free map but for a small fee there is a more advance map with better markers and mapping.To access each of my photos just click the black icon

It has been almost a year since all public areas in Colorado have become non-smoking. The exception of this law has been Cigar Bars, the smoker’s lounge at Denver International Airport, and Casinos. I won’t say I'm allergic to cigarette smoke, but I am somewhat bothered by it. I choose to avoid it if I can. For years, this has been a tradeoff issue for me. Even though casinos and bingo halls

They offer a wide variety of penny games and have maybe the best complementary item available on the mountain.Fitzgeralds offers free Valet parking services with a rather large garage. No public park but there are
