Have you been to Las Vagas & been in a situation where you have won/lost alot of money,
Did you get compensated by the casino, ie free meals, free hotels, free show's etc,
Or did you beat/go bust in the casino's of Las Vagas.

I remember going to Las Vagas & i played in the silvertown casino on the strip, it was probably the cheapest casino on the strip,
I was playing 50cents roulette & i was betting around 8 numbers,
I played the table from 4pm until 10am around 18 hours, the casino changed the croupier around at least a dozen times, i was up the whole way through, even the manager was very angry at me because i was laying out the mimimum bet & i kept winning, after i was playing the table for 16 hours the boss asked me where i was from & i said that i am from the uk,
That made the boss more angry as there are alot of professional gamblers living in the uk.
The other customers were copying my bets & they kept on coming in,
I never once bet more than 4 dollers per spin
My total profit after playing for 18 hours was $250. :P

It was not the $250, it was the 18 hours that i played without losing.

We used to play 5p Dracula, War of the worlds, Mob, Fright night using our paper round noney at 15 in Royals for 9 hours in the school hols back in 98 and make about 20 then if we were brave play Impulse for 11th heaven lol pissed the staff off as we used to eat all the free food and empty the blackcurrant. Won loads of free prize draws for tokens and used to save them for fags at the rate of 3 quids worth for 20 regal. War of the worlds if you looked 3rd reel and up it was a tube payout so if you could see pounds play it but if you could see through leave alone. Thoutght i was a pro at 15 lol

I dont think anyone was really that clever who went in the arcade. There was this women in her mid 40's who looked in her 80's in a wheelchair that used to shout "Young man Young man" which was her way of saying help me up the steps in the chair to any guy playing and the bag women change ladies would look at us and say "well help the dear women in then" She was stupid in the sense she played this awful bar X with only £5 for X's and £15 for Bars but she was the only one that went on it so basically recycled her own cash and the funniest thing was she would press the buttons after every spin for the hold even though there was none so she got called "Piano Women" as it looked like she was playing a grand piano everytime she played. Her sister looked like Doc from Back to the Future and used to try and give people murry mints in a paper bag all stuck together if the could lend her £20 for the machine. They used to smoke Dickens and Grant superkings right down to the gold line and drop the butts on the floor and leave ash all over Bar x

I created a whole bingo hall of octogenarian coin-reject-pressers back in the day. It really used to annoy me that whenever I was having a quiet punt on a sit-down party time arena, some old crusty would shatter the dulcet announcements of the bingo-caller by smashing the buttons as hard as they could in the mistaken belief that it would aid them in getting awarded a top.

So, I started to press the coin-reject as hard and as loud as I could to show them how unscientific their methodology was. They thought I was crazy, which was good, as I pointed out I was getting a top just as much as they were (which was practically never), so my reject pressing was just as good as their button bashing.

Well, my sarcasm seemed to register, and over the days it seemed they were embarrassed to whack the buttons too much. Then one night, just before the national game when the fruits section was packed, I bashed the reject button, and got an arms-in-the-air "It's Me !" top.

It was an ok top, something like £19. I looked smug at the dessicated hold-hammerers, inferring that my method was best ! And then I got a relight.

And a relight. And a relight. And a relight. And a relight. And a relight. And a relight. And a relight. Jackpot balloons all around ! The machine went crazy and emptied itself, with a fat IOU.

That was it... eyes were wide open all around me, floating moons magnified by NHS bifocals. Ever since then, when you walked into the bingo hall, it sounded like you'd entered a secretary typewriter training room, the reject mechanisms clacking away.
