Good morning kittens! I hope you all had a lovely Easter and that the Easter bunny brought you yummy chocolates and money filled plastic eggs. The little bastard wasn't so kind to me; he brought the ex-boyfriend knocking on my door. But, that's a story for later.
I had my first casino experience on Good Friday. I know, what better way to celebrate my people crucifing Jesus than to go to the riverboat, right? Anyway I went and can say I had a good time. I went in armed with a plan. I took 40 dollars cash in with and nothing else. If I lost that, so be it. I would lose anymore. However, sitting in that smoke-filled room with the flashing lights and ringing bells, I can understand how people go in there and lose hundreds of dollars. I can understand how it can become an addiction, how people just wait for that next "big one". I was fortunate. I turned my 40 dollars into 270 dollars fairly quickly and quit while I was ahead. But it was very tempting to keep going.
Every time I won some money, the bells and whistles would go off, and the machine would flash it's lights, and I would feel a little twinge of excitement. Who wouldn't, knowing they're winning money? I'm just happy that I knew when to quit and left with cash on hand instead of losing every bit of it. It would be very easy.
