re: What is your best gambling story: Scared Money Never Wins Edition

In Vegas and decided to check out the Hooters Casino with a couple of friends. By the time we walked there my friends had to piss so I put $20 in a $1.00 slot machine and hit the max spin button. I was just trying to be discreet checking out the scenery (which as it turns out is really poor) and the damn machine is making all kinds of racket. I look down and I hit a jackpot for 5000. My buddies come back and the machine is still rattling off credits and we are fired up. I then look down and realize it is a machine that can play .05/.25/$1.00 and sure enough the damn thing was set at $0.05. Thus, I hit a jackpot and walked away pissed off!

On a golf trip where we stayed at The Beau Rivage, I sat down with a buddy at the blackjack table and saw him pull out $700 and he cashed out six hours later for $61,000. They comped 12 rounds of golf at Fallen Oak and all the drinks and cigars we wanted at the course.
