Casino winnings

Well its been some time since my last post, sorry about that.

I just had to tell the story of my casino winnings. For mothers day Melissa and I took my mother to the race track casino in Ottawa. Shortly after we arrived and I was already down $20.00 in the quarter slots I asked Mel if I could play the $1 slots. I took the eye rolling as a yes. So I put my $20.00 in the machine. Slowly I pressed the max bet button and .... Nothing, then again I pressed it (3 dollars a spin here people), and... Nothing... So I do this again and BANG, I get a single cherry.... Big deal 6 credits.... At this time I am thinking I should go back to the the quarters or even the nickel slots. Instead I keep going, what good is money if you cant loose it right? At 8 dollars left in the machine, Mel says " I am bad luck for you, I am leaving", right then and there no word of a lie, I get triple bar, Ten Times, triple bar.... Which on this particular machine is 900 credits or $900.00. After what seemed like an eternity of bells ringing on my machine, a casino worker comes by and gives me the cash. Not bad for a day out.

Oh and Mel broke even in her winnings (well won back the 20.00 that I gave her) and my Mom won close to $100.00.
