Watched and loved it, both times it was on. I still can't get to how people can go along with a gambling budget of a few thousand $$$ though. I was right there with Louis when he wanted to take the $60 he won - I'd have been out the door in a shot.
Obviously, I'd be useless as a career gambler....[:X]
Me too!
I only play a bit of 25c video poker when we are there.
However, there was that time in the Venetian a couple of years ago.
We were due to check out. I had gone to the casino loyalty card booth to see what my points were worth ($12 woohoo). As I had just joined the club I was offered a choice of a Blue Man Group ticket or $50 Spa credit or $50 dining credit or $50 game play. As we were checking out I took the $50 game play.
I decided to blow it on $1 video poker on max bet, so $5 a go (high roller eh?). As you cannot cash the $50, I was going to cash any winnings.
On my first push I won $15, not bad. On my 3rd push I had the Ace, Queen, 10 and 7 of diamonds plus another card. I was going to hold the 4 diamonds hoping for a flush but I thought 'what the heck' and held the Ace, Queen and Ten.
In popped the Jack and King of Diamonds
The casino's $50 had won me $4200 [^]
I was late meeting up with the wife and kids, she didn't seem to mind after I had explained why [:D]
