I always play the same 4-5 games and always same betting patterns. They would never retrigger (when free games are added during the bonus round itself) I am not superstitious or an anecdotal based thinker. The majority of them would only payback less than a handful of bets back. Then RNG and variance became my nemesis, the bonus games started becoming so far between bets, I would spin over 100-200 before a bonus game would trigger. Yes it seems like a lot, but it's very rare for min bets up to $2 to win more than a hundred or 2 in a bonus game. My record was 7 JPs in one 12 hour visit, including one $9k grand progressive. From February 2021 till middle of March I had accumulated over 80,000 points, which is double the amount of their 2nd highest tier (multiplied by $5 is a lot money bet (they call this 'coin-in') It started out amazing, In those first 4ish weeks I had hit over 31 handpays (jackpots over $1200), many days multiple times. Since Covid, poker slowed down so i started playing more slots. I am usually a poker player that is occasionally a degenerate gambler and play couple hundred a week on slots. You can see the different player card tiers and 'benefits' on their website. For every $5 you bet, you earn 1 player point. This is for the upper management folks to decide which games are the most popular / makes them the most profit etc.

They won't provide you with your net wins, lol, I mean losses until the end of the year during tax season. The players card tracks every machine and $ amount you bet.

For those of you that rarely visit and only come on special occasions with a couple hundred dollars, I will explain some of the basics now.

I will now take you on my journey at Hollywood Casino that mostly began in February. I will try not to be all over the place but I am so, so, so very much in a dark place right now. Warning: this will be a very thorough review rant. If this review helps just 1 person, I will be forever grateful.
