Sex and the City Anyone?

The only thing better than watching people at casinos is watching them in on Rush Street in Chicago. I took a little break and headed out for a night on the town. Of course gambling was involved just not in my usual way with online casinos.

A brand new casino opened near the city and I paid them a little visit. After an afternoon of great food, drinks and people watching I hit the slots with my best girlfriends. I was amazed to see all the awesome slots that I see online at the land based casino. In Europe, the casinos don’t many slot machines. This casino had thousands.

I tried my hand at Sex and the City. It’s $2 per spin. If you’ve never played this slot game it has 4 screens. I believe it’s referred to as a multi-play slot. The bonus rounds can be really good and there are several. There are also progressive jackpots tied to the machines. The big money is Mr. Big. The jackpot for him was over $1,400. It’s almost impossible to even get a shot at it. What I mean is if you trigger the Mr. Big bonus, you don’t automatically get the progressive jackpot. You choose between three squares. One of them has his picture behind it. If you see his face, you win the jackpot.

There are 4 slot machines tied to the progressives. These machines do pay but sometimes you blow through 100 bucks before it happens. At $2 per spin it’s pretty steep. A woman sat down next to me and was wagering $8 per spin. I had just moved over because I wasn’t having any luck on that one. She sits down and almost immediately hits a bonus round. This was the shoe bonus. You pick a shoe and the reels spin. If your choice lands on the reels it locks in place and the reels continue to spin locking your symbol in place. You get 5 spins. This chick wins $1,900 on the machine I just left. I suddenly felt sick to my stomach.

I was a woman in the city but the Sex and the City slot was not on my side.
