A bus load of forty-six persons went to Blackhawk, Colorado to try their luck on some of the slot machines yesterday, May 22, 2014. Arriving at the Mardi Gras casino, we were met by an employee who gave each person a small blue, plastic bag containing a $10.00 food voucher and instructions on how to get $5.00 put on our Affinity card. Each player has his or her own favorite slot machine and before long the kachings could be heard. I went to the Wizard of Oz machine, but as usual, did not have much luck. Though it was fun when Glenda, the good witch, came out with a bonus for me.
Four hours later, we boarded the bus to return to Arvada with some of the people being very happy and some wishing they had also won. We were given a package of M&M's as we got on the bus and that made everyone feel good, whether they had won or lost! Even though the free bus is monthly, the next casino trip may be in August, since June and July will be used for resting and saving our money!
I cleaned out my purse this morning, and found some bills, my card, a picture and a credit cashout voucher. Looking at the pile on the table, made me realize that I like playing those slot machines, especially when they make a lot of noise!"It's hard to walk away from a winning streak,
even harder to leave when you're on a losing one."
