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.

$900 is amazing!!! Congrats Mike.

Imagine you had went to the quarter slots and someone else had started playing your machine!

My fav part:

"I took the eye rolling as a yes."

If only Mike walked away to play the quarter machines because I would have sneeked in and placed my $20 in the $1 machine and won the $900 for myself! Then I'd have a whole new wardrobe!

You asked "permission"... Mike! how cute. Toby and I have a unwritten rule... play whatever you like just don't lose more than 20 bucks. Congratulations it is fun winning too bad it is not very often. Went to Casino Windsor for the Market Buffet and didn't even gamble. No one wanted to make a deposit. Aunty M
