I worked as fire command in one. Watching folks get glazed over looks and forget to take heart and diabetes medication is no fun. I’ll say we had horse racing and that was fun to watch, I never bet on them. But being around the horses, jockeys and trainers and watching them race was fun.

She short change me $5 , for her tip. U wanna watch u do, there always could be crooks around az heard few stories, not sure if much nowadays, as FBI , has office in there as federal laws gambling. I won around $300 twice, an $100 on way home from ita convention, that the most , other than $ few bucks to $20 -$40, above $25, very rarely, all i ever play is slots, rarely dollar ones an mostly lower machines, i find Penney slots the way to go an right Penney slot is much more productive than .25 slot, have seen some slots in casino that are ancient, ripoff ones that never pay out

It's bad to win the 1st time it's the worst thing that can happen because is seems like easy money, you hear about when people win but seldom if ever when they lose their butts. LOL

Last night I stuck in $100 and pushed the button once. Hit $325 and cashed out. Then lost $100 but walked out $125 ahead. Noticed a floor guy watching me. Theyll probly give me the boot.

Casinos have made me a lot of money, probably $100k or more... But I was being paid to build the stupid things.
I always laugh at how ridiculously picky they are about the structure... Once the sheetrock goes up they won't let anyone smoke in the building... Until they open for business. Ironic.

Patience and control are the keys. I am very patient and I also have a limit that I hold to and once its gone so am I. I enjoy black jack immensely and can sit at a table for hours but I never push my betting. I can honestly say that at the end of the year I am usually up between my Texas Holdum games and casino blackjack. But I don't play a whole lot either.

Keep in mind you'll have to have enough to cover any splits or double downs. I play fairly flat where my bets are consistent. I might raise my bet once in awhile or play side bets more. Side bets are definitely the house advantage but when they hit they are great.

Blackjack and use the progressive system. What is the progressive system? It's separate payouts that build as you play they are at the top of the machine listed from Mini to Mega. So the Mini might pay $15 to start, a minor, major then mega payouts. A few months ago me and the wife did a overnight by Sioux Falls and a Lady not far away won $16,000.

You'll win big eventually so everyone needs to head to Vegas. Quick, easy money. Think of all the trapping supplies you'll be able to buy. Maybe a new ATV or Side by Side. Get something nice for your wife. It's awesome. Sure you might think youre loosing, but eventually you'll come out on top. Haha. Thats what I tell people because i like having no state income tax haha
If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.
