The Gambler

I've been gambling the past couple of weeks!! Been going to Route 66 Casino, located west of Albuquerque, a 20 minute drive. Anyway, last week they started giving away prizes for the State Fair that starts on Friday. You just spin this huge wheel and you win whatever the marker stops at. You can win tickets to the rodeo, admission to the fair, free parking at the fair and also state fair souvenirs. You can also win Route 66 souvenirs, too. Well, so far I've won rodeo tickets - to Craig Morgan and Easton Corbin. And I won fair admission for 1 day. The other days I got a water bottle (2 times), Kids Quest thingy (which I didn't take because I don't have any kids to leave there (while I gamble) or know anyone with kids). And then I got a cell phone holder. My brother got about 4 parking passes and he doesn't own a vehicle!!! He and my mom won most of the fair tickets so they are all set on attending the fair!! While I wait in line I watch people play the slot machines. Oh boy, if those machines could fight back, there's be a lot of people with bruises!! Some of them really get mad at the machines for not letting them win!! One man was just cussing at the machine each time he hit the button. It's cute when a couple playing together win a big jackpot. To me it's big even though it's like a hundred dollars. They were just cute today. They won 20 free games and hit some really big wins on those spins. And then they got an additional 8 games and their winning came to $103.00. They cashed out right away and left. Then this lady went to play that slot machine and lost her twenty bucks. She wasn't happy about that.
My brother told me we should go to Dancing Eagle Casino to spin their huge slot machine. You can win prizes including gasoline, buffet and someone could win $250,000. I told him it's too far and I really don't care to win stuff like that. What are the chances of even winning that money? My chances are zero. I only win small things. So far that's true. I can't seem to win the big concert trips given by the radio stations.
I'm sticking to the state fair things.
