I recently started a job at a casino as a slot attendant. I'm the guy who walks around fixing machines, paying people who win jackpots and socializing with customers. At 5"0 tall and 28 years old, I'm not expecting to win any chad prizes so I generally just keep it professional and do my 8 hours to make my dough, and generally do not receive any overt IOIs, ever.

A coworker mentioned a regular was down in Charlie-7 having won 250+ free spins on a machine on a mere $4 so it being a very slow night and nothing else to do, I walked casually around the casino until I got there, walking up to this 7/10 cougar (who must have been an 8.5 in her early 20s) who was playing the machine alone having a few glasses of wine.

I approached and said I heard she had a bunch of free spins yadda yadda and folded my arms on the chair right beside her. She kept looking over at me with eyes that were a little beyond just talking to a person, you know? Keep in mind I'm quite noob at IOIs in general. But then the most overt IOI happens which I don't process until I left, she uses her hand to touch my chest starting from the top and sliding it down a couple inches while looking directly at me mid-convo.

Being tired (try walking around without stopping for 8 hours, it's surprisingly hard) I didn't really react or fully realize what had happened until I had left the area.

Then later when her free spins stopped she had made $2700 and I took the hand-pay to her. I had to wait for my supervisor (casino rules) but when I got there there was this beta-orbiter old guy with her who she had came with. I sat on her left while he was on her right waiting. He put his head on her shoulder and her reaction was to turn her head towards me and give me a look like his behaviour was pure beta. I asked some coworkers and they said they are pretty sure she isn't married or even living with the orbiter anymore.

This woman is a regular and has greeted me rather enthusiastically in the past.

I've been thinking about gaming strategies towards her in the future and would like some advice, and I'll throw some examples here:

I see her again without her orbiter:

  • "Didn't come with the ol' ball & chain?" - "no" - "That's good news for you and I"
  • "Didn't come with your husband today?" - "I'm not married lol" - "Well that's fantastic news"

She's winning money:

  • "Keep up the winning, you know I've always wanted a sugar mama"
  • "I'll teach you all the secrets of the slot machines, here's my number"

My fear of rejection often combats me in saying anything that is overt and direct that conveys sexual interest.
