A huge thank you everyone for another amazing year, the birthday wishes, and all of these lottery tickets!!! 😁🥰🎟

I took me a week, my fingers are grey, and the table is a mess, but I finally scratched the last ticket! I know many of you are numbers people like myself, and were asking for the statistics from the lottery tickets I received. Well.... here you are.... #️⃣ ➕️ #️⃣➗️ #️⃣

I received 66 lottery tickets with a total purchase cost of $244. 17 out of 66 (26%) of those were winning tickets. The total winnings from those 17 tickets was $153. That is 63% return on the initial investment.

We found that the Superstar Bonus had the best win rate with 4 out of the 5 being winners.⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you again for all those lottery tickets, the gift card to Chili's, and the Bucket list booklet! 🎟💳📒

I am currently exploring options for a "Budget" bus trip, possibly including stops at thrift stores in addition to a casino, as well as a overnight bus trip hitting up multiple casino along the way. Please let me know if you, or your group of friends would be interested in either on or both of these options. Thank you in advance for your feedback! 😊

Good morning voyagers! We are less than 24hrs away from this years explosive endeavor! Here are a few things to remember when preparing for tomorrow. 🧨💥🎉🥳

We will be meeting the bus in the back of the Jenison Meijer parking lot near Fazoli’s. Please arrive between 8:30-8:45, or earlier if you need to run into Meijer to use the bathroom, get coffee or make purchases prior to departure. We will leave promptly at 9am, or as soon as the bus is full. 🚌💸🎰

Remember to bring 5 non-perishable food items for an additional $10 in slot play at Firekeepers. It is helpful if you have these items in a personal bag or a clearly labeled disposable bag, as 50% of passengers typically bring a plastic Meijer bag with can goods. 🥫🤗

If you plan on bringing any of your own drinks, in addition to what is being provided on the bus, please remember there is No Glass Allowed. 🚫🍷 Additionally, if you plan on having mixed drinks, please bring a sip lid or straw lidded cup for those. 🥤

If you have any additional questions please don't hesitate to ask. I can't wait to see you all tomorrow! 🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳

Only 5 more days!!! 😁

I hope everyone had an amazing Halloween! 👻🎃🧙‍♀️

Now it's time to start getting excited for our next "holiday"! We are only 2 weeks away from the 10rh annual Birthday Bash bus trip and I hope you're getting thirsty, because we have again stocked up on a vast assortment of libations! 🧉🍸🍷🍺

As you start planning for our day trip please pack a pen or writing utensil for one of our games. Additionally, Firekeepers is again hosting their Food For Friends event. So plan on bringing 5 or more non-perishable food items for an additional $10 in free slot play! 🥫🎰💸

Our main game is still under construction, but I'll post some photos as it starts coming together to give you some clues to the little twists I've implemented into the game play. As a reminder if you're unfamiliar with Ravensburger's The Amazing Labyrinth, please familiarize yourself. This will make the game play much smoother, and allow you to strategize with your teammates 😉 to possibly make boat loads of extra cash! 😊💸💰🤑

There are only 5 weeks left until our spectacular shindig and that means it time to go on a beer run! This is your chance to send me your requests for alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshments for our journey. 🍺🥂🍷🧉🍸☕️

Don't be shy! 😊

Happy Friday future voyagers! I hope you are all excited for a festive Pulaski days weekend! 🥳🎉🍺

I'm happy to announce the bus is finally filled and the game is afoot! My goal when planning this year's game was to find a game that allowed players to have more control over the outcome of their turn. Now this game may be unfamiliar to some of you, but for me it's a family favorite. To make sure everyone knows how to play and gets the most enjoyment out of this year's trip, I have decided to reveal this year's game early. If you have it, play it! If you don't have it, get it! If you can't get it, at least research it and get familiar with the basic concept. There are already many versions of this game out there, and it won't matter which version you have or get. That's totally up to you, because as I'm sure you're already aware, my version will be completely unique to the casino bus. 😊

So, drum roll please….

This year's game will be based off of the classic family favorite, Ravensburger's “The Amazing Labyrinth”! 🐲👻💀💰🧙‍♂️🦉

I hope all you Casino Bus Trip veterans are set to enjoy an amazing holiday weekend, but don't forget you only have one week left to resecure your seats for this years birthday bash!

Who's getting excited!!!! 😁🎉🥳

01/08/2025

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you're all having an amazing summer! We've had some beautiful weekends for the lakes and pools! As you start making plans for the fall I hope you have November 15th marked on your calendar with a giant golden star for this year's 10th annual casino bus trip, and my 40th birthday! 🌟🥳🎉

With the overwhelming positive responses to the way this year's Test Track was run in the spring, I have decided to run this year's Birthday Bash in the same way. This year instead of offering varying levels of gambling packages, all the gaming will be inclusive in your admission cost. This way everyone on the bus has an equal chance at winning! 💸💰🎰

Additionally, we will be changing where to send the payments for securing your seats. This year Kathy Uzarski has volunteered to help with the accounting to allow me to focus my efforts on the more important things. Like the games. 😁 This years flat rate which includes transportation, drinks, $50 in casino rewards, access to all gaming on the bus, and a chance at $4000 in cash, is $150 per seat. Payments can be made in cash, or checks made out to Kathy, delivered in person, mailed to 1103 Lumina Dr, Jenison, MI 49428, Venmo'd to -Uzarski, or sent via PayPal to [email protected].

If you were on the Birthday Bash bus last year you have until September 5th to resecure your seats. At that point we will then reach out to those on the waiting lists from both last years Birthday Bash and this years spring Test track. Please message me if you or a friend would like to confirm they are on the list or would like to be added. 💺💺📋

I hope you are all ready for another amazing year! I know I am! 😊🎉🥳🤞
