Fond memories of travelling to Tunica in '07 guided us back North on 61 into the Casino strip in Tunica. This time we went to the pod of casinos including Sams, Resorts and Hollywood Casino.
Our first stop was Sams and while I had a moderate win, Mel took a beating losing almost his stake. Fortunately I was able to buy lunch so we could eat. Facing our five hour drive to St Louis we pondered leaving after lunch but Mel the optimist said he did not want to leave Tunica a loser. So we ventured off to Resorts. Hollywood Casino was avoided because they had a breakfast special on Thursday morning which we has missed and I sensed they would be vengeful.
Resorts is connected to Resorts in AC but they were unable to find any player card information. Either that or the casino just wanted to sign up new players. That proved unsuccessful in my case because the pit boss was unable to use the zip code on my driver's license because it was returned as invalid, sigh. I sat at one table and Mel at another. After a short time Mel returned and I was anxious that maybe his luck had continued but sure enough he showed me the bounty of a few minutes work. He had won back all his losings from the earlier sessions in a once in a long time hand combining a series of “3's which kept being split and doubled until there were four hands all maxed out followed by a dealer busting. Tada'. Having recently experienced his losing session and recognizing the luck for what it was he cashed in and came to my table. I was ahead too so I cashed and we packed up for St Louis.
