So much money to be made on NBA free agency futures and you wasted money on a claw machine

They aren’t designed to win prizes for a few quarters. They’re designed so you can give your kids a roll of quarters so they stay out of your hair so you can finish your drinks and dinner.

That's not even enough to buy a ticket when northwestern state comes to tiger stadium. I think you got as much entertainment as lsu playing northwestern state.

I realized it was a scam 30 years ago at Rocky and Carlos as a kid. Always been.

Some people laugh at when I call Margaritaville a Kids Casino.

But it is, if you would have walked over to the Golden Nugget would you have done better.

Probably not, but I will at admit as an avid gambler myself, Golden Nugget is starting to go down in my book. I parked in a garage and there was only one of 3 elevators working.

A buddy and I did the lobster one in Walkons years ago. Think it was $5 a turn. We both caught a lobster on our first try and my buddy got one that had a $20 bill tucked into the claw band.

Lobster dinner and $10 that night. And somehow we both got drunk on the 10. I miss college.

Hit the jackpot on the monster wheel tonight. Got a blue lava lamp as our prize.
