Casino Update

Did I tell you we went to Casino Windsor last weekend? We changed $40 and cashed out with $32 so we felt better than if we'd cashed out $0.

The slot machines have been upgraded again. Like it wasn't bad enough when they replaced the pull arm with the "spin" button? Now you don't insert coins or tokens. You insert dollar bills. Here's the bad part: when you cash out of a slot machine it prints a receipt for you. Worse, it makes a stupid electronic noise like quarters hitting the old metal bin that is no longer there. So now instead of walking around with a plastic cup full of quarters and tokens, as God intended, you walk around with receipts in your hand.

We always tick off some serious slot machine gambler by getting excited when we bet $.25 or $.50 on a spin and win $3 or $5 dollars. We start whooping and laughing and people come running like they expect we must have won hundreds. When they see it's only $3 they give us looks of disgust and walk away. Our big excitement this time was that we started with a $5 bill and still had credit of about $4 when I won $10 on a spin.
