I am going to be truthful about my casino play this year.  Mother and I went to SMC for a slot tournament on the 4th.  I did not place in the money but she did for $500.  So she gave me $200 and I had $25 slot play for that day and the next.  So I played for 5 hours off of that money because I would vary my bets sometimes they would be a $1 or $2 bet on slots and sometimes I would only bet $.20 a spin.  So I got lucky and won for $100 here or $40 there.  But eventually I put it all back into the machines wanting that elusive jackpot.  But I had fun because I got to gamble and I was playing on the casinos money from the tournament and the slot play money.  So far we have only went once this year and my lose is $40.  That is the cost to me for the gas for the driving to and from the casino.-weshar75
