Luck Be A Lady Tonight (or This Afternoon, Anyway)

After a nine month absence, Marilyn and I enjoyed a moderately successful day at the Rivers Casino this afternoon.

I sat at a $10 black jack table and purchased $60 worth of chips. Within 15 minutes, I had $200 in chips, which I then cashed out. I put the two $100 chips in my pocket and bought $40 more of chips (a hundred bucks being my usual stake when we go to a casino). It only took about a half dozen deals or so before all of those chips were gone, so I walked away. I then preceded to lose about $15 playing slot machines. Have I ever mentioned how I really dislike slot machines?

Another way of looking at my day is that I more than made up for the three bucks I lost at my home poker game last week!

Marilyn came close to breaking even while playing slots, which means she probably lost less than ten bucks overall.

Pretty good way to celebrate Mardi Gras, we figured.
