On my 18th birthday, 15 years ago the first thing i wanted to do was play some blackjack.
My birthday fell on a Tuesday so off i went by myself with my whole bankroll ($250).
I find a pontoon table with minimum bet $5 and an option for the progressive for $1 if you get dealt blackjack. ( push a button and on a TV screen a wheel spins giving you 2×, 3×, 5× etc all the way up to the jackpot of $112,000)
Mind you i think i went at 6am so needless to say the casino was pretty dead. I go on a huge heater, im hitting my perfect pair bets and my splits etc are going great so u decide to play all 6 boxes available
I was seated at seat 5 with my phone, cigarettes and other crap on seat 6.
A oldish asian lady approaches the table and asks if i mind if she either has a box or plays behind me. I decide to give her a box and i move my crap from seat 6.
She sits, places her $5 bet and $1 progressive feauture buy in.
First hand gets dealt blackjack.
Pushes the button and BAM progressive jackpot winner of $112,000.
I always have the “what if” thoughts.
Enjoy!!
