Well yesterday we decided to take in the casinos. Patti, the casino virgin could hardly contain her excitement. Mickey decided he was going to have to keep a tight rein on her. She loves games and he was afraid she would get carried away. Fortunately we had a great day and lots of fun and nobody is much poorer as a result.
We started at the Cocopah Indian Casino south of town. It is a smaller casino but not very crowded. We took in their buffet lunch before we started gaming. Then we hit the slots. Now Terry and I take only so much "gambling" money with us. Today it was $20 in ones. When we left there a couple hours later, I still had $16.00, so we had won/lost not too badly. I consider gaming entertainment. The guy sitting next to Terry hit the jackpot on his machine which was $2000. When we got up to leave, he took over Terry's machine and calmly pulled a $100 bill out of his pocket and started on that machine. I just don't think I could do that.
We drove across town to the Paradise casino. Patti was pretty pumped at this point and I think all Mickey was doing was following her around! Hah. The Paradise casino has the unique distinction of being built on the border of Arizona and California. So when you walk out the back door, you follow the "path" to the "California" room, crossing the border as you go. So the two buildings comprising the casino are in two different states!
Terry and I went to "California" and found a couple machines that allowed us considerable entertainment. Patti and Mickey eventually caught up with us and as we were strolling out, we decided to hit a couple machines before leaving. Terry hit for $23, so we actually broke even in our quest for financial stardom.
All in all it was an entertaining afternoon. I figure if you go to the movies here you spend $14 a piece. We played slots all afternoon and broke even, so we were happy.
A great day with great friends. Lots of laughs and excitement.
Till next time. . .
