Kitty and DD do Winstar!!

After I finally got off work on Thursday, I stopped by the house, grabbed my stuff after ironing my 30AFunn T-shirt, and headed to Kitty's. We jumped in the car and headed north for a leisurely drive to the casino. We had never been to Winstar and had heard they had a new hotel and new and improved casino. We kept thinking we hadn't seen any signs for the place, but sure enough, when we topped the hill right before "Exit 1, Thackerville, OK.", there it rose out of the prairie....a huge mecca!! :clap:We finally found the road to funn and parked. While standing in the parking lot, we met Josh from Texas, the bellman. Cute! He let us in on all the "rules" and stuff to keep us out of the "on site jail". I'm tellin' y'all, this place is a city in itself. The hotel's only been open a couple of weeks and is pretty impressive. Checked in, got our room, loaded up our fanny packs and headed for the casino. Had a cocktail while I tried to figure out video poker. I quickly discovered this would not be my game of choice. :blush:
Found some slots among the hundreds of thousands of them. (Did I mention that Josh told us this is the third largest casino in the US and fifth largest in the world? It's 1.2 miles from the hotel to the end of the casino!) Started out on quarter slots, did some penny slots...which btw, are not actually penny slots when you're betting the max.:shock:
We were starving, so we headed to "Chip N Ales" for some fantastic beer battered fish, shrimp and some great fries. :wub:
Then, back to the slots. I think we finished off the evening both "up" about $200-300. I tried to keep Kitty up late so she wouldn't wake up at 1:30. Mission accomplished. We slept well and woke up about 7:30.
Decided to drive to the end of the casino for breakfast since we needed to check out before we got too serious into gambling. Not too many breakfast choices, but what we had was ok. Kitty talked to Mr. Kitty and jfunn.
Checked out, then headed for the casino. I think we figured we'd gamble for a couple of hours, then head home. Au contraire. We discoved some particularly generous slots called Lucky Ducky the night before, and again in the morning. I had the best time on one particular machine--for a couple of hours--or more. I was up, I was down, up again. I finally won $240 and cashed out. Kitty's luck was not as good as mine at the time, so we moved on and tried to find more generous machines. I lost some of my fortune and Kitty was beginning to get depressed. Finally, we make a trip to the ladies room and stop to take stock of our day. I was only up a couple of hundred from what I started with and decided I could only lose another hundred and not slit my wrists. Kitty had $16 (I think) + another hundred she swore she wasn't going to touch she was willing to risk, so we headed back for one last round. I won $120 in seconds. She wandered off for the penny slots. Next thing I know, she's walking toward me with tears in her eyes and a ticket for $1250.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yikes::yikes:
Holy Crap on a cracker!!! Needless to say, this made for a very good day at Winstar!!!!!!!!
The rest of the day was up and down, hit and miss for me. But total funn the whole time.
Reluctantly, we headed for home around 4:00--where had the day gone? Stopped in Sanger, Tx. at Babe's Fried Chicken for some fabulous vittles. Fabulous!! :wub:
Sat in traffic in Denton, TX for what seemed like an eternity. Made it home and I had to dash, but I sure did chuckle to myself a few times driving home!!
I'd say the whole 24 hours was a winner for sure. Jackpot!! :clap:

Kitty can fill in the blanks...:wave:

Way to go DD & Miss Kitty. :wave: Glad to hear of friends having good luck. I love penny slots. Instead of Cut and Shoot, perhaps we should meet in Biloxi or some such place next time our paths are crossing between Texas and SoWal.

Kitty can fill in the blanks...:wave:

:floor:...my mind is one big blank. All I know is it was one hot shot frenzy 24 hours and we were lucky duckys!

EXCELLENT TRIP REPORT, DD! :clap: No one does them better.

1) DD showed up with fanny packs (best ever invention for the casino!) which were fabulous, but these were not jsut some run of the mill fanny packs, these were DECORATED! Mine had KITTY on it in sparkly letters, along with a drink, a kitty, some stars and a 777 on the bottom! As the night worn on, the letters wore off and by the next day, my name was KITL. :funn:

2) The hotel was only three weeks old and such a nice place! I see DD told y'all about the size of this casino! WOW!

3) Watching DD try to play video poker was a gas. We so needed Darlene there to help us. Gave up on that and took Mr. Kitty's advice and went to get Player's Cards (cause DD and I are PLAYERS!) Got the run down and they gave us these cards that we attached to our person and would put in the machines we played. Not much to report there...guess we will find out what freebies we accumulated next time we go!

4) I drank two Colorado Bulldogs that night, but it is not the time to get overserved....too much concentrating to do! Putting bills in a slot is tough work! That meal of fried fish and shrimp and chips was so good, I can still taste it! YUM!

5) Back to gambling. We found some hot funn machines called Lucky Ducky that were very good to us before we retired. We went up to bed a little before 1 am ahead of the house. DD was successful in keeping me up until 1:30 am and we slept solidly (well, she did :biggrin:)

6) Friday was a whirl of gambling on the slots. Decided not to go to the Bingo Hall this time. I quickly saw my winnings go poof, along with the total sum of $$ I had brought with me. :bang: Oh, well...DD was back on her lucky Lucky Ducky machine and I was able to watch her keep winning. Oh...that was funn for a bit and then the gambling devil told me to go to the ATM machine and get some moola. I gave in. UGH...I kept losing!!!!! I held back one bill to get us home, but even that bill was not safe from the gambling devil. I had checked in with DD and told her I was off to the penny slots and then I was done. I looked for the loudest and most visually funn machine to play. There it was ...Hot Shot Frenzy. Sat down and put the bill in. Tried to figure out what the heck the deal was, but decided to jsut hit max bet until I had lost half of my money. ;-) Then...it happened...it wasn't real loud, jsut a lot of stuff going on in a fenzy like manner and all of a sudden I could see the numbers racking up and I sat mesmerized at the total. It finally stopped and all I remember is seeing a lot of money and hitting collect. I grabbed the ticket and ran over to DD and flung myself in her lap shaking and crying! I had to be all stealth like, because I was afraid someone would hit me over the head and take my ticket! :lol: In trying to piece together the actual winnings, all I knew is that I had probably put around 7-8 dollars into the machine before I hit the jackpot....my guess is around $1225.00 was the jackpot! I have to tell you...I have never won so much money in my life an it was thrilling! :clap: We both allowed ourselves one more fling on the frenzy and then called it a day. The cashiers all congratulated me...I was expecting them to take my pic and put it on a billboard, but they did not. :cool:

7) ooops...forgot a funny tidbit...Mr. K called in the early afternoon to say he was guessing the gambling was not going so well, as the bank had alerted him of an ATM withdrawal! :floor: That WAS hysterical! BUSTED!


It was the funnest 24 hour period, ever! Thanks, DD...you make for the best traveling/gambling buddy. :wub:

Sounds like you two had a grayt time.

The wife and I just got back from 10 days in the West with 3 days in Vegas and I think you two had more funn in the casinos. But we did come away with more out of the machines than we fed in though. I'll take the Grand Canyon & Zion Nat'l Park & Antelope Canyon over giving money away any day.

8) almost forgot...at one point, I needed something sweet and we went in search of dessert. Found the steakhouse, which was getting ready to close at 11 pm. Got menus and decided to have coffee and a molten type brownie thing. I asked the waiter to add some ice cream to the dessert. Get this...he said..."NO ICE CREAM!" I was flabbergasted! :yikes: So, I got up and went to the bar and another restaurant in search of ice cream. NO ICE CREAM! Damm...it really pucked up the dessert to not have some ice cream and it didn;t help to scream for ice cream, either. I guess this casino had too much hot shot frenzy going on to keep it frozen. :wave:

I think you might be on to something. Someday, I'm gonna visit those places and spend my gambling money on Grand Canyon souvenirs! :biggrin:

They need to put in an ice cream shop especially for the queen of hot shot frenzy!! :wub:

My darling Tootsie:

Yes, we drank plenty, smoked some, and cussed a lot. We ate, laughed, cried and just generally had a good old time. No, we did not go to church on Sunday. I was hoping you'd pray for us. Pray for us that we get to do it all over again just as soon as Kitty gets back to hell after being gone for TWO AND A HALF MONTHS!

Fondly,
DD
