Well I had $8 to my name and I decided to go to the casino for a penny machine and I found one called "Bandita".  So I put my $8 in and won $10 over 20 minutes and so I cashed out and went looking for a video poker machine with a 9/6 payout table.  So I found one and hit for $25 off of $3 so I was about $30 ahead when I made a critical error and decided to bet higher credits instead of staying with the $.25 bet and lost most of it.  But I happened to hit for $30 again and changed machines but same bad luck and I was foolish by betting higher credits.  So the video poker machine taught me a lesson today if you do not have the money bet the least amount of credits.  But any ways so I ended up lossing my winnings and the $8 but I did get to play for over an hour and a half.  So I guess that was a good trade off.  All though next time I think I will either try to bring more money so I can bet max on the $.25 machine or bet the $.25 only to make the money last longer.
