........a one cent - $.01 TITO into the slot machine and pushing the "collect" button and getting another $.01 TITO with a later time printed on it. I did this several times trying to get one as close to 6:00 am as I could. I also have 3 other $.01 TITOs that I got out of the slot machine in the last minute before the Casino closed but the 5:59:54 is the closest one to 6:00.
However to get to a $.01 TITO I had to start by putting $5.00 in the machine as this is the least amount that the machine would accept to begin play. So, to get the 4 - $.01 TITOs it actually cost me $20.00. I had to lose $4.99 out of each $5.00 I started playing with. I actually did hit a couple of small jackpots early on, but I cashed those in well before closing time.
Take care,
Jerry
