Hello,

In Erie, Pa, wehave a newly built, gambling casino -
dumpy, cold, looking thing, with absolutely no extras.

So i take my recovering husband to the newly built Casino.
I hate gambling. I never win. I just stay with him and
watch. If i turn my head to watch something else, the
gangsters' guards repeatedly, stiffly march in front of my
view with a sneer as i sweetly smile at 'him', the skinny,
mean-looking, little sucker; keeping surveillance on me.

Then as we leave the non smoking area, for home, after
dumping a cool $20.00 in the "fixed", slot machines, a
sleazy, con artist meets me with fumbling, exacerbated
motions used to puff up a cloud of cigarette smoke to blow
into my face.

Then as we get on the bus to the parking-area-for-the-
elderly, which is about a quarter mile away, over a cold,
windy, open bridge, another con tries to extract money
from us as tip-for-the-bus-driver. Are we having fun yet,
us retired, old fuds?

Please, Trump, where are you when we need you? Bring
your glitz and your wonderful, imagination for fantasy.

Hey big spender, our local Indian casinos have PENNY slots. You could push
buttons 105 times with that kind of money. Less tiring than those old one
armed bandits.

I'm no gambler, but an occasional contribution to a tribe is harmless fun.
I spend $20 several times per year. I won $400 with a straight flush on a
quarter poker machine several years ago, so I may be ahead in the long run.

I'm not a gambler either, but I did break even in Las Vegas once. There was
a get-together of people from another newsgroup. The day before I came
home, I finally put a quarter in a slot machine, and won it back. On
another Vegas trip, I decided to spend $10 to play Blackjack as long as I
could. I found a $2 table and, in two sessions, managed to play for a total
of 2 1/2 hours before the $10 was gone.

That's a reasonable price to pay for some silly entertainment. I don't make
any money on any other kind of fun.

I miss the old sound of coins raining down during pay-offs.

Having been to Las Vegas many times attending conventions, many years ago I
made an interesting discovery. If you play the nickel slots for fun and
like to drink you can actually win, albeit not much, because you can drink
more free liquor than you lose in the slots.
