Casinos have never been our thing. I think I can count on one hand the times my wife and I have been to a casino in the 27 years we’ve been married.
But I do remember the first time we went to one. It was Sam’s Town in Mississippi. This was in about 1997-98. We went with her cousins and aunt for the weekend. Got there Friday afternoon and stayed until Sunday. We spent some time in the casino, not much. We spent the rest of the time going to dinner, shows, and even went back to the room to watch the Egg Bowl. It wasn’t until we left that my wife told me she’d noticed her aunt had not once left the casino floor the entire weekend. She verified with her cousins that their mom had not once came up to their room the entire weekend. This woman spent over 48 hours straight playing the nickel slots! Until then I thought the idea of people being addicted to gambling was bullshite. That weekend changed my mind though.

My wife and I take our elderly parents once a month to lose $100 bucks each…it’s what they like to do.
I play the same machine every time and max it out. Sometimes I lose in five minutes and sometimes 45 minutes .
But I’ve never won. Ever.
