" you gotta know when to hold em..."

...so I was reading in today's paper that the Casino is cutting down on staff and machines as the revenues haven't been that great in the last couple quarters. They intend on getting rid of 8 table games, 82 slots and 100-ish staff. They also may take away the free parking and other perks when you gamble in order to make it more profitable. This sounds all fine and dandy...if it weren't a fricken Casino! Basically what the whole article says is that people are getting smarter and cashing out sooner, therefore making the Casino pay out more than normal.....sooooo they want to make it easier for us to lose our money. Well that's just peachy. I want to win when I go gamble...not lose...which the odds aren't really in my favor as is and now will be much worse. By eliminating tables they basically hope that people run to the open seat and stay there super long cause they don't dare get up in case there won't be one when they decide to go back. This isn't a good thing for me as I tend to consume the cheaper beverages thus making me need to run to the bathroom....this could cause problems. Oh, you should know that the Casino has awesome coffee. I am a coffee connaiseur and they do have a good brew....that's just a little tip for next time.

One time I was at the Casino and decided to try my luck at a Slot Machine. I sat down and started playing when I noticed the lady beside me had a few buckets of coins. I was a little jealous, but was getting over it as I started winning a few pulls. She also had a few glasses right beside her with her lipstick on the rim so I could tell she had been there for a while. Within a few minutes she got up to leave and I noticed that her seat was completely drenched. The water was running off the seat and onto the floor....so at first I thought she had spilled her drink till I remembered that she finished hers glass when I first sat down...so that couldn't be it....so I kept playing then clued in...OMG she pee'd on the seat! She literally pee'd on the seat....a lady played the slots so long that she pee'd the seat...I still can't get over it. No wonder she left...sitting in pee must have been real uncomfortable...so that's when I realized that people actually do go crazy when they go to the casino. I thought this stuff only happened in movies, but nope...right here in our own backyard....hard to believe, eh? Pee'd on the seat...can you imagine peeing on the seat? I wonder if she had a spare set of pants in the car? So I guess maybe one good thing will come out of all these cuts at the casino....the adult diaper industry may have a little boost in sales!
