Did we win on our FIRST casino trip of 2025?

[@Helena-wu6sr]

Great video Sonia and Dave. Good to see you guys. Take care ❣️. Helena

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Thank you, Helena! ❤️

[@Elena1450]

I am so enjoying your video. Thanks for sharing. I loved it cuz I can’t make it out to the casino but enjoyed the content. It was so smooth.

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Thank you, Elena! We’re glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for watching!

[@aussiealba2591]

Great vlog again guys. I usually watch on TV so can't comment. Just stopped by to say I have booked a limo from Alex for my big birthday trip from Western Australia in April. Thanks for the heads up guys. 😍

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Awesome! That will be an epic birthday trip! Alex And his team are great!

[@CanadianSlotCouple]

Gotta love a fun getaway to the local! Glad your car wasn’t stolen, the fear is real 😅. Fun vid guys, have an amazing weekend ✌🏼🍀☺️

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Thank you, both! We're going to catch up on y'alls series here soon too! Cheers to the weekend!

[@CanadianSlotCouple]

@ Thanks guys 🫶🏼☺️🍀

[@gaileesanders983]

Happiest of New Years Dave amd Sonia. May this year grow your channel by epic proportions and you have good health and happiness and fabulous luck!♥️

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Happy New Year to you too! We’re hoping for great things this year! ❤️

[@MartyB-q1r]

Great video. Sorry you did not leave with lots of winnings but looks like you had a great time. You played some fun games I have never seen before. Thanks again for video! Looking forward to your next video!

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Hey, Marty! ❤️ Yea, in comparison to Vegas some of the machines are...different. They have a lesser class license and use bingo cards tied to their slots. Technically you're playing the bingo card and the slot is just a bonus.

[@dawnak450]

Happy New Year ! 🥳🎉Thanks for the vid of your first 2025 casino trip. It only gets better going forward I am sure.. 💰

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Thanks, and happy new year to you too! ☺️🥂

[@Sandra-c9s]

Fellow san antonian. Love your videos. Keep up the great work and best of luck

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Thanks for the support!

[@lisal77]

A nice warm up to your first Vegas trip of the year! Good luck 🍀

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Yes! Definitely a fun way to start the new year!

[@eberinc]

Happy birthday Sonia! From your birthday twin Heather! Good luck in 2025 🎉

[@DaverrasonTravels]

That’s right! Happy birthday Heather! 🥂

[@KDonk2024]

Fun getaway! Practice for Vegas! Hopefully much better luck in Vegas!

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Practice makes perfect, right?! Lol! We’re excited to get back and hoping for better luck!

[@Torvic003]

The wife and I have been going to Kickapoo since forever and we remember it how you said with the arena and the cafeteria style food court where azul is now. Enjoyed your video very much.

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Thank you guys for watching! Go NINERS! BBNG!

[@MargaretLopez-eo3di]

Enjoyed your video. We do Kickapoo about 4 to 5 times a year and we've always had a good time.

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Hey, Margaret! It’s a nice little getaway for sure when we can’t get to Vegas! Do y’all normally stay on property while there?

[@warrenreidy7925]

Excellent - making dinner and this is my perfect partner during prep time! 6 weeks to go for us now guys. HNY to you both. All the best for 2025. Warren & Emma 🇮🇪

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Hey Warren and Emma! HNY to you guys too! 6 weeks will go by quick - hope y’all are ready!

[@warrenreidy7925]

@ €10k 💶 ➡️ $10k 💵 exchanged today! We’re ready! 🎰 🤞🏼

[@SantaFeAggie]

Great stuff. It’s nice to see some local/regional casino content. We can’t always head to Vegas so it’s good to see what other options offer. Our local/regional favorite is Choctaw in Durant. I think it’s way nicer than Winstar, and I find them much more generous with the comp rooms even for this infrequent low roller!

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Thanks, we'll have to check that place out, we have heard good things about Durant!

[@figurinechamp6881]

My Favorite Fellow Texan KZbinrs!

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Aww!!! Thank you so much! We did have a fun time at Kickapoo, but nothing is like Vegas! Hope you had a great New Year! ❤️

[@lesleyputnam8261]

Happy New Year Can't wait to see where 2025 takes you

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Same to you, Lesley! ❤️❤️

[@tanyasturgeon7788]

Love watching you two. On that game you won on in the bottom corner looked like it said multiplier of 3.

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Okay, cool! We're going to go back and watch it! It was a nice little surprise!

[@josesoriano8396]

Thanks for the lesson take your winnings and run 😂 when at the poo.

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Lol! One day we’ll learn… 🙃

[@imzeus3865]

It looked like a fun getaway. You had some great wins early on, so that helped. Dinner looked amazing! And that price. That would have been $250 or more in Vegas. I have a two night getaway of pushing buttons next weekend. My results there are typically like yours this trip. But it's good therapy. Enjoyed it, guys!

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Zeus!!! ❤️❤️ Yea, it’s not too far from us and a nice quick fix when we can’t get to Vegas. Hope you have all the luck on your next adventure!!! And, yes! It is great therapy!!

[@michelletalksgh1176]

When u get a comp room or anything it a wonderful feeling cuz you guys are special blessed couple ❤❤ happy 2025 new year 🎉🎉🎉 on your winnings tonight food look yummy sending long distance hugs ❤❤❤KR support always on have a fabulous week stay safe and wonderful out there 😊

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Aww thank you so much!! We appreciate your kind words. Happy New Year!

[@TheGreatTexan]

Kikapoo Casino ive only been once. But really enjoyed your video

[@DaverrasonTravels]

It was a good overnight trip, but we couldn’t spend more than one day there. It’s not too bad of a drive for us too so a good way to scratch that itch when we can’t go to Vegas!

[@stephchesney-bryce9205]

Another great vlog not.seen some of those machines for years 😊😊

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Glad you enjoyed! We do like to try different machines, especially old school ones 😉

[@LukeMarr]

Always a blast

[@DaverrasonTravels]

It was so much fun! Too bad we left broke 😆

[@luvjets]

Hi D&S - So, how's the drive to this casino? It was such a good start to the gambling. Azul - the bread looked like Outback Steakhouse - we love a good bread service - very nice meal and decent prices. Hopefully you got all your bad luck out of the way for Vegas in 2025. Cheers & hugs!!!😎🍻

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Hey, K&C! ❤️ The drive isn’t too bad being 2.5 hours from SA. Yes, the bread was similar to Outback. We’re definitely like you guys and enjoy a good bread service! We got most of the luck out of the way before Vegas! 🎰🍀🥂❤️

[@petesanchez6058]

We just went last weekend and red screens were scarce and machines I felt were tight good luck

[@DaverrasonTravels]

We felt the same, Pete. Outside of the luck we had when we got there that disappeared the rest of the trip….and we gave back our winnings!

[@loriah65]

Funny about your win on that machine- look like it doubled you winnings when she touched the screen. Weird 😮. Good for you guys lol 😊❤🎉

[@DaverrasonTravels]

It was weird but good! 😊

[@javamon]

You should have ordered "The Way Home". This place needs a Frenchy! 😉

[@DaverrasonTravels]

lol! Every place needs a Frenchy! Best comment ever!!

[@TravelChefBari]

Happy New Year Dave and Sonia! 🍾 Texas is the best! 🤠 Fun fact: Jim Treliving, the owner of Canadian-owned Boston Pizza, bought his first location in Penticton, BC, Canada 🇨🇦, when I was living just down the road in Vernon! 🇨🇦 He moved to Texas for the lower taxes - smart man! 😉 Boston Pizza has grown into a massive franchise now. I have a write up about it on my Chef Bari website, if you’re at all curious. And speaking of big things, Texas definitely lives up to its reputation! Even the beers are huge! 😂 To answer your question, I always do 3 backup spins. Lucky Eagle marketing gurus know what they're doing! 🧠 I wish we could film up here in Canada too. 🇨🇦 But hey, I always manage to sneak a quick video! 😂 Like Sonia, I'm a big fan of salt and lime in my beer. 🍋 🍺 And speaking of restaurants, AZUL looks absolutely amazing! 😍 It's definitely my kind of place. Oh, and that Mexican Bread Pudding you were talking about? 🤤 I'm in heaven just thinking about it! 😇 I need the recipe 🤩 It sounds like the High Limit room was treating you guys well! 🎰 Thanks for sharing your adventures! Cheers, Chef Bari

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Hey, Chef! Happy New Year! We’ll have to check out the website now to read about it! 3 back-up spins is probably the same bet and we should consider that too! So the Mexican bread pudding I mentioned is called Capirotada. When my (Dave) grandma used to make it we loved it. It was even better sitting in the fridge overnight with coffee in the morning!

[@glasgowproductions58]

On a hot machine, it's 10 spins or $30 (whichever comes first) It's just science. Happy New Years. Cheers!

[@DaverrasonTravels]

🤔🧐 I think you’re on to something! Now if I can convince Sonia that hot machines do in fact cool down before we get that amount back to zero…. Any suggestions??

[@glasgowproductions58]

@@DaverrasonTravels As I learned in dodgeball camp, try harder! 🤣Good luck.

[@huntingvegas]

Go Sparky ⚡️ He was lots of fun. Y’all had some good wins. That dinner looked fantastic, the prices were so good. You’d be hard pressed to find $10 sides in Vegas. Mind you, I’d pay what we did for the sides at Papi Steak over and over again.

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Papi Steak was fantastic!! We had tried Azul here before, but quite some time ago. Everything was delicious and definitely worth the price! Sparky is a fun slot! There are a lot of variations and it is a must while we’re there!

[@peteinla]

What a fun trip! Maybe on that slot your bingo card hit? That might explain the additional $250 you got?

[@DaverrasonTravels]

That’s what we were thinking too. 🤷‍♀️

[@LaLaAndPopPop]

We lose our car all the time😂 best thing about it is your not losing money while your looking for it👍

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Lol!! You are so right! Happy New Year, guys!!

[@karlkluthe1476]

My wife and I went there for our first time a week ago. It was much bigger than we expected!

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Right!! We started going when they just had the "old side" before they added the hotel and newer section. It's a fun little getaway!

[@ILUVBIGBUCKS]

By the way, I've seen the same thing in the high limit room. I watched a lady sit on the only 2 $100 machines they had at the time and sat between them and she was hitting the play button on each one as fast as they'd run. She probably ran $50k through those 2 machines in less than an hour and I only saw her lock them up 3 times and the biggest jackpot was $7500. But remember, there are MANY multi, MULTI millionaires in South Texas that have more oil money than they can spend!

[@Cindy-cq8zr]

And cartel money 😂😂

[@DaverrasonTravels]

You are right about that!

[@ILUVBIGBUCKS]

@@Cindy-cq8zr 😯🤣

[@ThePacalypto]

​@@Cindy-cq8zr eagle pass aka illegal pass! 😅

[@markrigby7650]

I think that machine actually malfunctioned in your favour. I’ve played it loads of times in the uk and that boost didn’t make sense 🎉🎉🎉 Nice to see great value food with 14 bites potatoes ❤😂

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Definitely good food and good value!

[@txhilster]

A friend and I go there regularly. When people ask me what I am doing for the weekend or whatever I just tell them I am going to a charity event in Eagle Pass for the Kickapoo Nation. When they ask me where in Eagle Pass, I reply, “This place called the lucky Eagle Casino?”

[@DaverrasonTravels]

🤣🤣😂😂

[@lorijackson2011]

A Lightning Link room!? George is already in the car asking Siri to take him to Kickapoo!

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Lol! There is an even BIGGER one at Winstar in Oklahoma! I think they have a Buffalo room too!

[@ILUVBIGBUCKS]

Next time don't waste your money on the food at that casino. Do yourselves a favor and make the 10-12 minute drive to Parrilla De San Miguel in Eagle Pass. The food is amazing and the prices are great as well. As far as Lucky Eagle goes, I only go once or twice a year due to them not having table games. I can only play slots for a couple hours at a time and I'm done. There are a couple of 'old school' machines that have made me money almost every time I go but the newer, high volatile games I've had absolutely no luck on there!

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Thanks for the food suggestion! Yeah, we don’t win much in Kickapoo but it’s a quick fix when we can’t get to Vegas 😉

[@ILUVBIGBUCKS]

@@DaverrasonTravels Have you guys tried Windstar or any of the ones in LA? I've had good luck at Harrah's in New Orleans and done ok at the Golden Nugget in Lake Charles? I ask about WIndstar because I haven't been but have a friend that goes 3-4 times each year and he does well. Dude hit 10k on a $1.50 slot bet.

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Wow! We did go to Winstar last year, but didn’t have that kinda luck! Lol! We do plan to check out LA casinos one of these days. It’s just hard to jump on a 2.5 flight and just go to Vegas!!

[@Andihitshandis]

So confused how that bonus paid that. Did you ever figure it out?

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Lol! No clue how it happened …but…all machines have a bingo card tied to it. So maybe we hit a certain bingo?? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Andihitshandis]

@ that’s what I’m thinking but weird it didn’t show or tell you anywhere haha!

[@markolwick2223]

That Filming notice at the beginning is for Security, not to entertain KZbinrs. It’s a legal requirement. Otherwise cheaters could say they didn’t consent to be filmed and get any record of their activity thrown out.

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Correct! But glad they're also "welcome" filming too instead of shutting it down.

[@LuzLeticia57]

We live here in Eagle Pass and the slots do not pay nothing

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Other than the luck we had when we got there, it got rough in the evening.

[@lindamemo5224]

Didn’t know there was a casino in Texas

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Hey, Linda! Yea, down in Eagle Pass and also Naskila in Livingston, TX.

[@USNAV]

Very hard to win there!

For real!!!

I love slot videos that show how much you put in and what you leave with. I guess you have different content but this is not for me . Well wishes

Well wishes to you!

Eagle Pass Tx close to the border in the west side of Texas

@diazsd70 ok

[@TJ-eq1fc]

A machine is never hot its the RNG numbers inside the machine LOL

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Lol! Never! Machines get hot!! 🙃🙃

[@rudyg7039]

Technically your not supposed to film the customers

[@DaverrasonTravels]

You’re right about that!

[@Watcher2885]

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy all the gambling content. But imagine if you were in a full blown bender down to your last few bucks at the casino and someone’s waking by and filming you to post for the whole world to see. You guys and most creators don’t do that to people. But that sign opens up a whole can of worms.

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Yeah, totally understand. We do try to be respectful of the people around us.

[@NextLevelGameEx]

First

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Lol! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@26concord]

If i do not get anything in the first 20 to 30 dollars, i move to another machine.

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Definitely good advice!!

[@sharonpriovolos]

something goofy she had 12 something and won 100 something so i think the machine gave you alarge extra. hmmm maybe a wrong chip in machine??? who knows

[@DaverrasonTravels]

Yeah, it was weird 🤷‍♀️
