Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What's the most you ever won in Vegas?

Be honest!
For me, $2300 on a Willy Wonka slot of all things.

4 A's with the kicker dollars. $2k

Came home with every dollar I went with. That puts me thousands ahead of anyone who gambles.

$600 ahead playing blackjack for about 3hrs one evening.

$2750 after all expenses were paid from winnings playing blackjack

I was too drunk to get out the pool

Never been. I've been to Atlantic City a couple of times, and won both times at the Blackjack table. In advance of my first trip, I studied the game, and learned to maximize my chances to win, e.g., when to hit, when to hold, when to double down, split, etc., based on what the dealer's hand is showing, along with betting (parley) strategies. I won several hundred dollars both times. The second time, I think it was over $600.00, part of which went to buying a Beeman R8 air rifle. Still have it. Great gun.

I was playing roulette once and was at the perfect level of impairment to where the board/wheel/odds started making sense in some type of insane way. Went up several grand in a few spins.

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

A couple more bourbons to really get in the zone and I think I managed to get out of there before those guys that break fingers showed up.

I gambled professionally for a while, but mostly not in Vegas.

The most I've made in Vegas is $5-10K a bunch of times playing poker.

$1400 jackpot on quarter slots. Paid for some magnificent meals while there. Beforehand, then-gf had won a $4k jackpot at a local casino which paid for our flights and the Venetian. That was ‘05 and haven’t been to a casino since.

A wife, 4 kids and 3 careers.

Only been to Vegas a couple times. Always work related, never purposeful. Never got into gambling preferring to exchange my currency for goods and services. Each time I got on the plane to leave I felt like I won. Can't stand that place. It's like living inside a pinball machine.

Ha! I was wondering what your answer might be!

Played with The Greeks professional card counters - my role was ''the big player'' they call me into the game with verbal signals & give verbal signals on how much to bet .

Won $5500 first time , $3200 second [2 days each time] then made the ""Griffin Book"" and was thrown out of the casinos . When they spot you they call all of the other casinos - inform them you are in town .
Very stressful stuff - not enough money for me to be away from my business at the time .

Thousands and thousands cause I don’t gamble when I go.

$2700.00 shooting craps. Quit and took it home. Dunes Hotel, 1964

Wife's winnings always pay for trip and then some.

I never win chit. Ill lose a C note, say screw that and head back to room to refill drinks.

Wife won 5k one time when we stopped at Boom Town in Reno for gas heading home on a $100 bet.

Its been big family joke for the last 30 years.

Never been

Been to some local casinos - never won because I never played either. Watched others or, in the case of one, only there to eat. They have a good restaurant.

Gambling has never interested me.

Before the corporations took over and the Mob ran the casinos, The big name casino's ran some of the best restaurants in the world, (At very reasonable prices.)

Had a friend in college who told me he was grateful that school was downhill from Reno. He would gamble away all his money including gas money and would coast down hill so he could make it back to school.

He and a friend won $500 counting cards and when he went to put it in his trunk someone beat him up and robbed him.
