As promised… I said before that I would review the WinnersBank200 after returning from Vegas. And as I predicted, I have nothing but great things to say about it.
(check out how it works here before reading on)
I first used the WinnersBank200 on day 1 of my trip. A co-worker of mine was also in Vegas and he hadn’t been to Fremont before so we decided to go over to the Golden Nugget and get some lunch. After eating the $20 buffet (which was only mediocre) we decided to play some 3 card poker. We found a $5 table and started playing.
Dave had won several hands and I wasn’t having much luck. I told Dave “I’m not having any luck so it’s time for me to go…….. ” and after about a 3 second pause “but first I’m gonna do this” and I upped my bet from $5 to $10 on each (in 3 card poker you can make between 1 and 3 bets). It was then that I hit my straight flush (which pays 40 to 1 in the pair plus bet and I’m not exactly sure what the 2nd and 3rd bets pay out)… this was good for over $500. Immediately, I put that $500 chip in the winners bank200. With the key safely placed in my hotel room back at the Luxor, there was NO WAY I could lose that $500 profit during this outing. I would need to go all the way back to my hotel room to get into the handy little safe.
My budget was $500 per day while in Vegas. This would include food, tips, and gambling. I would use the WinnersBank200 on each of my 7 days while in Vegas. On day 2, I won two $300 jackpots on the slots and would immediately put that money in the WinnersBank200 and therefore had $500 essentially to blow.
Later, I would win $1000 on a slot
and that too would go into the personal safe.
Even while playing craps, I would “go south” (going south means to take wi
nnings off the table and put them in your pocket, this is generally not acceptable in poker but ok in games where you play against the casino like blackjack, craps, and other table games). Everytime I won another hundred I would put more chips into the bank. EVERYBODY wanted to know about the Winners Bank200. The pit bosses would give me an akward stare as I safely stored green chips in my handy little safe. Had I taken 50 of those banks with me I could have easily made $40 a pop right there in the casinos. I explained to curious onlookers what the bank was a minimum of 20 times during this trip.
I cannot stress enough how much I recommend this little invention to ANYONE planning a trip to a casino. I am sure that I will be buying a few as gifts for my family and friends.
