Down $25

We decided to take a run over to the Casino Queen in East St. Louis and spend an hour or two, just for kicks and grins. It was really dead there, which was great, since there was virtually no competition to get on a machine. I wonder where everyone was? Oh yeah. Probably stuffing their faces. lol In any event we took $100 with $50 each to blow and only walked away, overall, down $25. As casinos and gambling go, I'd still call that a win, and where else can you go for two hours of entertainment for $25? BTW, if you're interested, here's a short from Synthetic Echoes on YouTube that puts a side by side comparison together for the song I did called, "Something Special." It's only about 40 seconds long. ***Video is NOT monetized!!!***
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

That's usually how I make my calculation of "value." Everyone was happy. I call that a win.

Winning 25 dollars at a casino is a great deal.

Well, we were down $25. But for the "value" of our time and fun? Yeah. I'd still call it a win.

The casino game is tough. I figure if I get to play on a slot machine for a while without losing my shirt, I'm a winner. A couple of hours you did good to only lose $25. Both versions of the tune are easy on the ears.

Well, I LOST $25. But that's better than losing $100 for sure.

I think I usually leave home empty handed though I do win when I play. If I travelled 2.5 hrs to a casino I can’t just call it a day as soon as I win something. If a casino was next door I’d probably leave with the winnings.
