Okay ... I'd like to apologize for my lack of enthusiasm for their often lack-lustre games.

Out of boredom, I thought I would try a Bally Game called, "American Original". Within a few minutes, I had my first bonus round. It was 50 free spins with a 2x multiplyer. Won about $140 with a 25-line nickel bet. Gave it a few more spins ... and won another $100 again.

Figuring it was all done ... I changed machines ... but my friend thought they would give it a try ... bonus round (100 free spins), bonus round (100 free spins), a few spins later, 4000 credits, bonus round (15 spins) ... etc etc ... about 20 bonus rounds in --- this machine was still paying. Finally, we cashed out ... and thought, maybe we should run another $20 through it. It returned another 100 spins and $80 more dollars. Finally ... the first $20 that did not pay. And we were done.

We joked that a game like "American Original" was paying well because it was Memorial Day ... whatever it was ... it was an uncanny streak of winning.

Yes ... it was fun. However, I can't say I will play Bally games any more frequently because of it.
