We played the rest of the day, ate a great lunch and deducted the cost of the trip and returned home with over $100 more than we left with.
Hope your two cups full was the entire payout.

Had a similar experience at a Casino, years ago. All the Bells and Whistles went off
AND a light was blinking on top of the slot machine.

ME, the dumb guy was walking away with 2 buckets of coins.
A nice lady walks up to me and said
" stand at your machine, the pay off is MORE than the slot can spit out"

I asked how did you know that ?
She said "the blinking light on top is to alert you. Just wait at the machine,
someone will come out and open the machine and give you a slip to take
to the pay window"

Holy Crap, I almost walked away from enough to pay for the ENTIRE Vacation and a whole lot more.

The sweet lady ( with no makeup and stringy wet hair, wearing a sack dress) refused a 15 % reward from me.
Later I found out she was a VERY well known person.
