Some one said that gambling is for people with too much money and no math skills. You can’t win. How does anyone think all those huge casinos get built - by losing money? I read somewhere that professional gamblers make less than $30,000 per year. You can do better than that on unemployment or welfare. You do have to give it to gamblers, they are optimistic.
My financial controller and I had to make a trip last week and were nearby to some casinos in Louisiana, so we ventured in for a couple of hours. I might add that the buffet was pretty good. That’s what I like about casinos. But what struck me funny was that this particular place still had slot machines that you insert coins into. And, you had to pull the handle. I thought everything was electronic now days. Oh, they had some of the "new fangled" machines, but the old ones caught my eye. That’s a lot of work. You have to put in the coins, pull the handle and then do it all over again. And, should you "win" some amount, the coins fall into a tray and you would have to go and change them for dollars - or go home with your pants pockets full of coins. That might be useful if you plan to do a lot of laundry the next day. But, don’t try to pay for two buffets with a bucket of quarters.
They don't think that's funny.
