Very strange streak of luck, entered a "max" bet on a penny slot machine ($1.50), and hit all five diamonds!! I felt a little guilty, because the people we were with won nothing through the whole cruise and were big-time gamblers, and I sat down after giving everyone first choice of a machine and hit that darned thing after about the second bet!! We took the group we were with to the steak house and paid for their drinks and meal as a "consolation", leaving with a full and happy group!! Mind you, the casino fellow (not telling on him, I think he wasn't supposed to say!) I was talking to later (in private), told me that it was the FIRST time he had ever seen one of those machines hit the top prize in the six years he'd been working various casinos!! That was on the Star Princess to Hawaii, and getting those lovely US $100 bills with no tax (we are Canadian!!) with our dollar being so low right now was a lovely treat. It paid for my next three cruises......plus they kept making offers to cut our rate if we booked by a certain percentage, I started getting messages from their gambling center after that, but I'd rather just spend that money on their cheaper rooms with the discount, thanks, and not gamble!! My one and only win, I don't normally gamble much......and probably won't any more! We know that a slot win is a once in a lifetime streak!!
