Have you ever been to a casino?  |
|
 I was wondering how many people here on myLot have been to a casino before. I was also wondering if you went to gamble? I have been to a few casinos..with my grandmother in Las Vegas..with my b/f on a gambleing boat in Indiana...and to the Indian reservation in North Carolina. When I went to Vegas...I didn't gamble...that would be my grandmother..LOL..I just went to sight see. The others though..well..I played a few slots and a little blackjack. So have you ever been to a casino before? Got any good stories about your trip?

1.  Philbo (427) | 7 months ago |  I came through Reno on a bicycle trip and some friends brought me to the casino for the smorgasbord. They figured I was hungry. Food was terrific. While waiting for seats I pulled out fifty cents and said I was going to keep putting it in the TV poker game until I either lost it or our table was ready. I walked away with a dollar. Doubled my money. What do you think? Was that the beginning of a career I passed up?

| 2. dodo19 (4340) | 7 months ago |  No, I've never been to a casino. I'm really not much of a gambler, which is probably why I'm not very interested in going to one. I may go to one, some day, but right now, it's not really something that I want to do.

|
| JenInTN (3774) | 7 months ago | Hi dodo! I hadn't gambled either. It seems my granmother was quite the slot machine fan though..lol..I really just enjoy seein everything in Vegas when I went. I did play a little at the other ones but I'm not much on gambling either. Thanks for responding. | |

| 3. ElicBxn (15546) | 7 months ago |  I've been to Vegas and Atlantic City. At Atlantic City my sister's partner gave us each $20 to lose on the penny slots, and we lost it, but by the end of the week, she had won it all back.
I wrote about my trip in a string of discussions called Travels with my bother (I mean brother).

4.  ANTIQUELADY (11552) | 7 months ago |  GOOD MORNING JEN. NO, I HAV NEVER BEEN TO A CASINO.I have led such a sheltered life,ha!ha. Alot of people go from here i think to tunica, ms. & there is one about a hour & a half from here in metropolis, il. I think they would be fun to go see. I'm not much of a gambler.

|
|
| JenInTN (3774) | 7 months ago | I'm not either jo. I did enjot seeing the sights though. They really go all out at those casinos. I have a friend that travels to Tunaka alot but I have never been there. I like going to the Indian reservation in NC. It's about an hour and 1/2 away from me if that. They have the Indians doing shows and crafts. The casino is just another thing to see there. It's not regulated like other casinos there so if I were a gambler..I would have little chance of winning. Thanks for responding. | |

| ANTIQUELADY (11552) | 7 months ago | HAPPY SUNDAY to you, Jen. | |

| marciascott (11745) | 7 months ago |  I fot I went to a Casino in Las Vegas 3 times. I also went to Atlanta like you did it was about 30 yrs ago though. Once I went to a Casino in California, and It was a Indian Resavation, I took out my Camera and it was so many Sec. Guards all around me, I didn't know that you couldn't take pictures there, this was about 10 or 11 years ago, the rules might of changed I don't know. It was funny. They had threasted to take my Camera.

|
| marciascott (11745) | 7 months ago | Sorry that was the other person that said they went to Alantic City, Have a great week! | |
|
|
| JenInTN (3774) | 7 months ago | I don't think they allow cameras in any of them. I know that's what my grandmother told me the first time I went. | |

5.  Hvaniday1 (246) | 7 months ago |  "Place your bet now!" Good Luck...lol familiar with this words. Casino is a great place to get some entertainment, relax and having fun. I've been to Genting a few times with my family's, I don't think that is a fair game. They have a very good system that prevent someone from winning. Eye Yo! Slots machine, we name it suck money machine...lol they only pay when it suck enough money from someone else. 100$ in 30$ out the most, so, everyone need to contribute. Hahaha....just kidding. Have fun!

|
| JenInTN (3774) | 7 months ago | Hi Hvaniday! It is true..they don't hit until they get so much. I know that alot of places here are regulated by a group..and the slots must hit a certain amount of times. If they are caught with "tight" slots..they get a fine or something. I do like going. There is no regulation at the Indian reservation I was talking about though. You just go there to give them your money...lol | |
|
|
| Hvaniday1 (246) | 7 months ago | Lol...everywhere does the same. | |

6.  NettyB (296) | 7 months ago |  I have never been to the big ones, like in Vegas, just some smaller ones in a nearby city. It is fun, we only go about once a year..sometimes we do good and can stay awhile, other times, our allotted $$ is gone in a hour and we leave.
| |
| |
|
|
| JenInTN (3774) | 7 months ago | Hi Netty! I think it is very important to allot a certain amount of money and then get out of there once it's gone. That is the key to having a good time. Thanks for responding. | |

| 10. lilybug (15367) | 7 months ago |  I have been a few times. All I ever did was play the quarter slots. The first time I made about $20 and the second time I lost about that much. I was up quite a bit at one point my first time, but ended up feeding it all back into the machine.
| |
| |
|
|
| lilybug (15367) | 7 months ago | If I thought I would have better luck next time I would go more often. I only live about a 5 minute drive from a few casino's. | |
|
|
| JenInTN (3774) | 7 months ago | Heyya lilybug! It owuld be great to live that close to some. I guess after a while it would be like anything else though. Thanks for the response! | |
