Hustling the guys at the poker machines
Not sure if they have these machines elsewhere, since I've only been to strip clubs in two states, but in Oregon we have video lottery machines in every club. They're kind of fun (esp. Fairy's Fortune) but it's so frustrating to see guys waste money they should be spending on dances.
Last night I was working and I saw this particularly cocky guy, a popped collar type, losing 100 dollars on video poker. I decided to get aggressive. I kept saying that he shouldn't be wasting money on this crap and he should spend money on me. When his balance would go to down to 40 dollars, I'd say cash out now! That's two dances!
I sort of kept hounding him in a teasing manner, until he finally said let's go and he got three dances! I've never been so aggressive before, but the three dances topped off a good night during a time when I had absolutely no motivation to go talk to the handful of guys that were sitting there waiting to get kicked out at closing time.
I'm going to try this again in the future. I always discounted the glaze-eyed custies that come in and play these games, but I won't again.

That's something I never understood about the video game machines. Are you talking about the little touch screen ones that sit at the bars? A lot of clubs I have worked at have those and when it's slow or boring, then us dancers will get on them and play them, but when customers come in and just get on one of those games, wtf?? They're in a strip club and want to sit there and play a video game?::)
Good for you though, that was a good hustle getting him away from the game and putting the money in your pocket instead of some game.

Haha...yeah I'm in PDX too and let me tell you...a lot of those people are straight up ADDICTED to those machines. It is possible to hustle them. In fact, last night, a couple who had sat at my stage then went to play the video lottery came back and tipped me 40, saying I gave them good luck (they had won 600)!
Sometimes I walk over and say "Hey take a break and come see me at the stage, I swear I'm good luck!" in a sexy voice.
I also have this one guy who comes in and puts money in the machine for me to play, then I get to keep half of our earnings when he cashes out!
It sounds like your hustle worked, I'm gonna try it!
Re: Hustling the guys at the poker machines
^^ I think she is actually talking about video poker....gambling. Not a mega touch qwhere you put monmey in and just pay...but real gambling wher eyou put money in and play poker and can win money back.
In west virginia where i danced, the club had actual slot machines lining the wall, so if a custoemr sat down there, his back was to the stage. I always thought it was the dumbest thing ever.....but to the club owner...slot machines make money. He wants money. He don't care if it takes away from the strippers money.
So I would watch the guys play the machines, and when they won, I'd say OMG!!! Congratulations!! Good job, how awesome...now you have play money! Lets go to VIP!
Slot machiens in strip clubs are fuckign stupid. Thank god they don't do that shit in Vegas. Strip clubs are the only bars withotu slot machines here, LOL.
