Now I don't gamble!
But I do eat at a casino where the food is excellent and cheap.
However, some time ago the casino persuaded me to get a loyalty card. It saved me 2 bucks on the buffet. I thought nothing more about it.
So a year after I get a promo saying they hadn't seen any action in my account and here's 20 bucks in points to play with. A couple of weeks ago they gave me another 20000 points. You can only gamble with your points and any money comes from what you win.
So I got one of the staff to help me spend my points. It's complicated . You have an account...news to me. You put your pin number in and it tells you how much you have to play with. I'm not sure of all the steps and I couldn't do it myself. However, you choose how big your bets should be and then start hitting play until 3 figures come up in a row. Then they decide how much money you get? How they figure that out I don't know.
However, one hit came up and I won $43.00. I immediately cashed it out and kept playing. They couldn't take my $43.00 away as I wouldn't play with it. I continued playing until all my points were used up. The machine shows you how much you have to play with and when it's all used up.
The Micro Manager played and she won $12.50. We cashed in and went home.
Does this make a gamble of me? Never! Am I tempted? Never. You feel silly and angry that you put money in the machines.
So the bumbling gambler, with a lot of help from the staff, played his points and went home still not knowing how to run the machines.
