Casinos - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Has anyone here been to a casino? I have a few times. I went a few days ago and didn't win anything. Sometimes I will do maximum bet. The only bad thing about doing maximum bets on the slot machines is that if you bet like $2.00 a throw, there are still a lot of times you don't get anything. This one lady I know said she went a while ago and played these nickel machines. She put in 7 dollars and her arm accidently hit maximum bet and it went from $7.00 down to $0.05. Sometimes I wonder if those machines are rigged.

i've visited a few, but never played because i was too young. i look forward to it when i'm old enough though. the environment of it all is very thrilling.

i've gone to mohegan sun a few times though never gambled more than $20 and of course i've been to las vegas 3 times but never gambled there although my husband did and won $500 on one machine. i just can't see throwing money away like that. i just feel like you might as well throw it in a toilet and flush.

dawsongirl · 12-29-2008, 11:33 PM

Yeah. Whoopie. All the ones I've been to are full of smoke and old people on oxygen.

I hate slot machines and I'd be better off throwing my money down a toilet than gambling it...same effect.

Good food though.

There are a couple of awesome casinos here in my neck of the woods; and one casino in particular is a great place to see live bands.

I've been to casinos probably less than 10 times in my life, but have won over $1,500 at them. People keep telling me that I'm so lucky, but that luck is bound to run out.

I have been a couple of times, as a matter of fact I went last summer to Reno Nevada. I won 400 bucks it was a cool weekend.

I never have - for the same reason that I don't drink. I have relatives who have struggled with alcohol and gambling - and I don't want to take any chances. More power to the people who can handle it.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 12-30-2008, 04:05 PM

Yeah, we have one only about 15 minutes away from where I live and it's pretty nice. I've been there to eat before and I gambled once when I turned 18 because that's the legal age here. Only a little, though ha. And then earlier this month I went to a dance club there.

MrCleveland · 12-31-2008, 12:00 AM

No.

I like in a state where gambling will never be allowed!
