A few days ago I talked about learning the value of a dollar. When Laura and I were together we would often times go to the casino for entertainment. I love casinos. I have always said that if I was going to have an addiction it could easily be gambling. When we would go it would not be uncommon for us to take $300 and usually we would loose it all. Well, I would loose it. I am a sucker for the slot machines even though it is very rare that you win anything from them. Although one time we were in St. Louis and I won $250. I was pretty excited and it didn't matter that I spent $300 to win that $250. Now you don't even have to leave your house to gamble. Have you noticed how many online casinos there are? For me, I actually have to be in the casino to enjoy it. It just doesn't seem as much fun unless you go home smelling like an ash tray.
Now that I have to watch every penny I would never spend (or waste) money at a casino. I still get coupons every month from one of the casinos begging me to come back. During the summer the weekly coupons dropped to $3/week of free cash. The beginning of November I got my usual envelope from the casino. Much to my surprise they were offering me $27/week for the entire month. The casino is only ten minutes from my work, so every Friday during lunch I drive up and get my $27 of free cash. I love walking out of the casino with money; their money.

$27 a week, free? Cool!!! Hope you win big one of these days off of their money!
You actually get the cash and leave? You're not addicted!! What a cool "bonus" for you at this time!
sassy & lynilu: last week i took $7 of the dollars and went to a slot machine and ended up walking away with $60. i thought it was a very productive day when i walked in with 0 and walked out with $80. but usually i just walk in get my cash and leave.
I had no idea they did this! Great for you since you have the self-control to just pick up the money and go.
I have never enjoyed casinos. If someone just likes to play a game, that's cool -- they are paying for entertainment the same way I'd pay for a movie. But I just don't get enough out of it to pay for it. On the rare occasion that we go, I just watch Chris play Blackjack and drink cheap drinks.
I love me some gambling.
It would be my addiction too! How cool about the money! I love it that you walk in, get your cash and hit the road! Good for you!
$27!! How cool is that!
Seriously, you just walk in, get the money, and leave? Ha, yeah - take the money and do not stop at any machines on your way out!!
A big hell yeah for free money!
