- Well, first off I'm not a heavy gambler. I like playing the slots.
- So does my wife. Needless to say, we usually leave LV with a
- lot less money then we came with. (the only time I ever caught
- a royal, I had 4 qtrs in instead of five. cost me $1000.00!)
- Anyway, our last trip was earlier this month. We started out
- on the slots. For the first time, my wife got bored playing.
- I decided to try roulette. I bought in for .25 chips at $20.00.
- I played for about 3-4 hours. I won nearly $300.00!!! I probably
- went against every rule of winning by playing the same 6 numbers
- with 2 4-number corners. It felt great to take away all of the
- color chip I was using and then having them pay you in $5 and $25
- chips. So I left the table very much a happy man....
- Over the next couple days, I managed not to loose too much of it
- back. When I get back to LV, hopefully in the spring, Ill play
- roulette again.
