Who says penny slots don't pay out?

A recent trip to Peoria, IL lead me to the Par-A-Dice casino where I played a few penny slots only to have the machine freeze up during a very exciting, heart-pounding potential $0.50 payout. The casino aplogized for the inconvenience and gracefully comped dinner for me and my wife. Always nice to spend a few cents and get a $30 meal in return.

I was also skeptical at first but it was great. Bavarian pretzels with Wisconsin beer-cheese soup, burger and fries, bar-b-que chicken and caramelized onion pizza, and a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie skillet with ice cream and hot fudge.

Too funny. We could have had a gtg.

I was there for a few days and had a great time doing things around your city. Very nice place, especially downtown along the river. Had an opportunity to visit the local AD, Jones Bros, and they were extremely friendly and knowledgable and allowed me to try on a few pieces I hadn't seen in person until then.

One of the few times the penny is worth more than it costs to make!

Well done. Many years ago, I visited Las Vegas and received a $50 payout from a dime slot machine!
