Yesterday I drove to Atlantic City for breakfast. Arrived at 9:30a.m.

Right away I hit a slot jackpot for $215. Next I had their lousy $10.00
buffet breakfast, then hit another slot jackpot for $282, flirting and
hamming it up with the "Slot Dolls" all the while. So deducting my initial
outlay I won $400. Walked the boardwark for a few minutes breathing in the
wonderful sea air and left by 10:30a.m. Home by noon.

Which casino?

And that is an excellent time of day to make cash on the slots, IMHO.

Because one is alert to quit after winning, or because you think they
reprogram the machines for the evening? -aem

Gamblers are no smarter or dumber in the morning than as the day wears
on...

I think the machines pay out better in the AM. No proof, other than
my full or empty wallet.

It's also a "milder" time of day. It doesn't stink of wet spongy carpet,
folks aren't too drunk, it's a little quieter and there's more elbow
room.

Other than that, it's pure dumb luck.

Imho,

I won 2G on a slot machine the last morning we were in Vegas a few years
ago. Then again, I was up for the whole week, so it was just luck, I
suppose

Boron,

The Resorts Hotel & Casino on North Carolina Ave. The only place I visit.
I took a blackjack break one night and sat at a roulette table. Just me
and this distinguished gentleman. He told me how to tip the croupier
(sp?) after I'd won a spot. "How much was your bet?" I said "Five
dollars." He said give him a $5 chip, which I did. "Now you know how to
play roulette" he said, followed by a friendly punch to my shoulder.
After 20 minutes he got up to leave and wished me good luck and I replied
in kind. After he left, the croupier asked me "Do you know who that
was?" I said "nope" He said "Tony Bennett". I was stupified.

Tony Bennett taught me how to play roulette!

I tell that story whenever I'm there and have an ear to bend.

And a great story it is, too.

I used to go to Resorts quite a bit, but have been hanging around the
Borgata when I go lately.

I stopped at the Borgata once. It is nice. Too bad they are so far from the
boardwalk. They make up for it with spa facilities and concert venue.
