Right before COVID, I went to Vegas and played a really stupid Sex and the City slot machine, and won a few hundred. During COVID, I got bored and wanted to see all of the features on the game and what a jackpot looked like. All of a sudden, I was following Slotacholic and The Big Payback.
I love to watch their wins and jackpots while cleaning. When I actually went to a casino (MGM National Harbor) this spring, I played a game called Buffalo Collection that seems to be very popular. I won $1,600! That’s maybe the third time I’ve been to a casino and won’t likely go very often, though my brother and I plan to go for my birthday in the fall. I think when I do, I’ll know what games look fun/look promising and maybe I’ll win again, or maybe I’ll just have fun playing.
I also watch makeup channels like Not Fit for Print Beauty and TaraLynn just because it’s fun to see new products and techniques, though I rarely buy anything.
