Have you ever been to a Casino?

That's in the Midwest?

This one.

No.

I've been in casinos in Nevada, California, and New Mexico.

I've never seen so many penny slots as I have seen in the New Mexico Indian casinos.

Never in the Midwest.

Mississippi, up the river, right across from Arkansas. Only time I have ever been in one. Lost 10 bucks and I said enough of this shit...

Yes, I have. I've been to the casino's in Atlantic City but I've never been to Vegas. The casino's here in the mid-west are mostly river boat kind of affairs but not too long ago, Iowa built a dry land casino and did away with the river boat in Clinton, Iowa which is the closest casino to where I live. They are about 60 miles away. I used to go to the casinos fairly often but it pisses the wife off and I have discovered that they are not in business to give money away. I've won big at the casino and also have done my share of loosing. I guess in the long run it's probably about even. If you want to go to the casino, I have an offer for you. Let me hold about half of the money you were going to take with you to the casino. When you come back to pick up your money, I'll just keep half of what you gave me to hold on to. It's better odds than you'd get at the casino. I'm not at all against casino gambling. It can be fun but mostly it's a loosing kind of deal. Know your limit and stick to it.

Riverboats in St. Louis, Potawatomi here in WI, Vegas (all of'em), Ho-Chunk in WI...

Very briefly - riverboat, E. St. Louis. Just to see what it was like. No big thrill, IMO.

Now the Wrangler-clad cowboys at the rodeo ... that was better.

Does Niagara count?

I've never been to noble casinos Las-Vegas style. I went to smaller ones, and played automatic slots in bars and so on. But I quit playing with 21, I lost only money and never won anything.
What I still do is betting on sports events. But only big events like World Cup in Soccer or European Championship in soccer.

 

[Paulie]

I live 20 minutes away from them in NJ. I can see the skyline out my window actually.

They're better for the other things they offer than for the gaming. Concerts, dining, shows, fights, etc.

I do like to go play blackjack and roulette like once or twice a year though.

The "casinos" along the Mississippi river SUCK. They aren't even a pale shadow of what is in Vegas.

I've won far more in smaller local casino's than I won in Vegas.

$96k in one year just at Potawatomi

Vegas, I took $4k, and came home with $20.

No. I never have been to a casino in the midwest.

Wait...on second thought, I think I have been to a casino in the midwest. I think that I went into a riverboat casino near St. Louis...maybe it was St. Charles.

So, I apologize. I was wrong at the begining of this post, but I think that I corrected myself sufficiently.

Yup, The Soaring Eagle, in Mt. Pleasant, MI. My wife were there not long ago, the Osmonds had a show at night.

That's a nice amount of money you've won there, I suppose Potawatomi is a city. Just by gambling without hard work behind it.
If I could be that lucky , but I won't even try. I am saving most of my money, and do not have much expenses. When I do betting on sports events it is maximum 3-digit amount of money. Not more.

I am in Vegas about every 3 months. Ive stayed in each of the hotel/casinos as they opened. Truthfully they get boring and are all more or less the same.

Other then that ive not been to any other casinos, I'm not a gambler so they don't draw me.

WOO HOOO~ I'm leaving in about an hour for my first casino venture! I'm only taking $100.

I hope you enjoy the five minutes.
