Lost all my play money 3 days before Christmas. Was waiting for the promotions to be drawn every hour but had 3 drawings left. Didn't want to go home so I walked around gathering any cash outs left in machines. 30 cents here, 10 cents there. I got it up to 4 dollars and played 1 spin on a slot and hit a bonus for 15 dollars. Now I had around 19. Went to hunt for more cash outs but not much luck. Went and ate a comped meal, then decided to just go. Played my 19 dollars on video poker deuces wild and about 15 min into it I get 4 to the royal. Fingers crossed and then, boom hit the deal button. 1000 dollars made from pennies left abandoned in machines.
