Big Score at the Dubai Palace Casino!

I've blogged before about the Dubai Palace Casino here in Cancun.

Every M/T/W they have a promotion: buy 5000 "vouchers" (for 500 pesos) and receive 2000 free! You must play through the vouchers, converting them into credits, before you can cash out. 
Considering that (so far, on average), we are winning back well over 75%, that seems like a pretty good deal, though I personally haven't done very well on the few occasions I've done this.

Anyway, Jen and I went last night, after she saw a post on Dubai's facebook page announcing that for the next hour, anyone who bought 500 pesos in credits would receive X free credits, where X was a random, surprise amount. This made the deal potentially even better. We planned to ask some of our friends (who go there every day) how many freebies we were likely to get and decide on the spot.
After arriving, Jen waited in line while I looked for our friends. I soon found them, but they knew nothing about the deal. No problem. I'd just ask some casino employees. Ooops. They also had no idea what I was talking about.

After laughing about yet another casino blooper, Jen & I decided to play anyway. About half-way through our session (with 7,300 credits and 3,500 vouchers) , we switched to Zeus II, and this happened...


Sorry it's blurry... I guess it's hard to hold a camera steady when you're winning a jackpot!

Wow! We were screaming & jumping & generally looking like the idiot tourists that we are.

We actually only won 6,000 credits (this isn't our photo .. you're not supposed to take pictures and there was an employee right behind us). We asked her what would have happened if the last square had also been a Zeus or Wild square. She said we'd have been instant millionaires!

OK, OK.. I'm just joking. We probably would have doubled our winnings. We were disappointed, of course, but only very briefly. Funny how it's hard to get mad a machine that has just given you about $50!

I know we were lucky yesterday, but it'll be hard not to go back next week, and hard not to recommend this place again :)
