A long long day....

If you've got the time, read on. Its only a tale of today, but it's quite long!
Thought as it was sunday i'd go out for a round. Left home at about 10:30 this morning. As the bus into town stops right outside a bookies, i nipped in there. Hot Shot now....mixed emotions. I've heard all the tales of £60 a hold and stuff, but this wasn't knackered like those ones.
Anyway, backing from the off, a few quid in for a bonus. Mystery win, £10. Gambles to £12, exchanged in. Offered It's a Knockout and the £15 shot before killing me off. Excellent i thought, this will go big soon. I had £70 on me, surely thats plenty enough.
£40 in, and i'd been offered 2 £25 shots, Good Times twice and one super Streak. No Hot Streak/Hot Shot. Got to £65 in and still no joy. I asked the bloke behind the desk if he'd hold it for a few mins so i could get another £50 out. He said no!
I asked why not, and he said that he had to leave it free for other punters. What an arsehole i thought. I remembered the reel setup, took my chances and pegged it to the hole in the wall. Three people queuing...just my luck. Got my cash, sprinted back after what had seemed an hour. Reels in the same place, excellent! £4 more in, and it gave me hot shot for £50. A Good times for £20, £12 cashpot, £5 cashpot and £19 good times later, i'd put in about £120 for £107 back. A £13 loss, but it could have been £70, so i was pretty relieved!
Off to Nobles to win back then. £4 into KKC and it gives me 6 super shots. Arrow, Arrow, Arrow £15rp, Super Good Times, £25rp. Take that and leave it, back into the black. Nuns was showing streak and 3 SKO's, so i punted that with the usual SSS method. First MS for £32, SSS comes back for £25. £6 Fast Cash, £4 Number Runner, £5 super Kos, £3 Super Kos, £2 pick a win. Overall around £15 up there, with the first MS costing a bit too much really. Nothing else playing in there, so i wandered over to Yates' for the other Nuns. Showing Super Streak and £10 shot from the off. A rarity these days! Excellent i thought, i'll play around here. After knocking 7 SSS back, took the MS. Only £38, but i was confident of one more. It came for the usual £25. The extras though....£15 fast cash, £8 fast cash, £8 fast cash, £7 Streak, £4 Paradise Kitty, £5 from 2 Super KOs. About £35 in, a mammoth £110 out. 2nd ever biggest win on these, and what a time to get it! Change those nasty coins back into a pile of notes. Every player knows theres nothing better than feeling like a mafia don with a wallet full of £20 notes. Only £140, but you can't grumble! I guess i could have got 14 £10 notes to make it look more, but £20s are better anyways.

After all of that, a good 2 1/2 - 3 hours playing, i finished a great ton plus up. God knows how it happened after that start....but i knew when that hot shot dropped it would go big. Never the same day twice gambling eh!
Apologies if thats bored the hell out of everyone, but i needed it writing down!
Tired Regards
