I neve understood the appeal of Casinos.
Nothing morally opposed to them or anything. I went once, put $15 (which the casino gave me) through the quarter slots...walked out with $45.
Bought $30 worth of drinks.
It was OK. My best friend lost her $15 at the Blackjack table using he ex-husbands "no fail" technique. :-)

I've only been to a casino once. Our friends took us to one of the Windsor casinos for part of our bachelor party extravaganza.
I played blackjack for exactly 6 minutes (and that was with the dealer actually helping me) until I lost the $20 I had set aside for gambling for the evening. I think that's still my record for the quickest $20 I've ever spent.

Oh, I set a new personal fast gambling record: $100 bill in a $5 slot machine; betting $15 per spin. Less than 30 seconds, I think.
I once won $50 on a nickle machine at the Army base in Ethiopia ( yes a return of 1000/1). Rule was if you won more than $5 you had to spend the money on drinks for all that were there. Even with everybody drinking, at 20 cents a beer and a quarter per shot, that took a while.
That was 40+ years ago and was my last gambling foray.
