The Paki shop owner asked me how many more cards i wanted .........

I told him ' None ' and walked laughing to my self for the win .

You should  write a book about your brilliant move. Right after you learn how to read one first of course.

I'll be flat out honest here...  I LOVE Vegas (have been twice), and was not shy with either the tables, nor the machines.



I know what the odds are.  I ALSO know a family friend that spends too MUCH time in Casino...



You know what she did also, Super?  She ONLY reported winnings.  We knew there were losses...  THAT made her uncomfortable, so it wasn't even asked.



What are the losses like, Super?



I invest, and I make these calculations before I decide to throw money at something.

Well, the house always wins. I'd guesstimate that the Mrs and I have probably spent/loss $80,000 more than we have won over the past 20 years. But its our fun. We don't smoke, don't do drugs, don't drink heavily. We've enjoyed many (17) trips to Vegas, and to many casinos all over the Pacific northwest. We have occasionally won jackpots in the $1,500 to $2,000 range. Earn free hotel stays in Vegas, earn free air and hotel packages to Laughlin, earn free meals, seen dozens of concerts and live shows... Its our fun, our escape.

How often do you and Mrs Superchecker go to casinos in Vancouver?

Used to be weekly, when her dad was still alive, was our weekly lunch out.



Now, more like every payday/every 2 weeks.

With poker, there is  some skill. Slots are a waste of money.

You combine it with a meal out?

When my father n law, and my mom too, were alive: Yes! Either lunch in the neighbouring pub or buffet. Slot card holders can get 10 or even 15% off food purchases.



The eateries at the American casino's are even better! In the US you earn points when you gamble and can redeem those points towards free or near free meals. The buffets are better in the states too.



When in Vegas, we specifically head to The Gold Coast buffet. Breakfast buffet is like $8!; lunch is $11, and dinner is like $15! If we go on a Wednesday, and earn a few points gambling, we've eaten for free!

I skipped buffets when the old lady and I were in  Vegas. It makes me too full and I don't want to drink.

I heard casinos usually have good restaurants.

I'm the same way.  I'll have a late lunch, and then later on I have lots of room for when I get my drink on!

In metro Vancouver, they are OK. In Vegas, they are great!

They are pretty good in Saskatoon and Regina. But, like Sup says, they don't compare to Vegas.
