I love going to the casino.Never get to go very often. We don't have any in Arkansas, so we have to go to Mississippi. It is a 3 hour drive to the closest one. I really can not afford to go either.My girlfriend & I are planning on going this week-end. The only thing I ever play are the slot machines, I could play them all night.I never really won any money.Always hope too.We do not take alot of money with us.But we have a great time.Do you go to the casino?

No, I don't go to casinos. I'd rather invest money than blow it on the off chance that I'd actually win something. I've never been a gambler and don't plan to start. I've got an addictive personality and don't want to start anything that could lead to addiction. That's why I quit drinking and smoking.

Well, it is not an addiction to me.I could never travel 3 hours all the time to do it. It is entertainment. I spend very little money there. I spend about as much as going out to a movie and good restaurant.It is all up to you what you enjoy doing.It is something my friend and I like to do together.

Well you're lucky that you can do it and not get addicted. I know that it would be hard for me, so I opt not to do it - just to be safe. If it's fun for you, all the power to ya! Have a ball. Win some for me - LOL!!!

When our casino opened in Melbourne a few years back now I used to go once a month with a group of friends and we used to win a lot, but now that the casino has been going for a few years i think they have everyone hooked so the winnings are less so we all stopped going.

Well that is how those places do you. We do not go but maybe once a year or so, maybe not even that often. But we will play the slots for hours on end.

i am from the New Orleans area and we had one just 30 minutes from the house and I went all the time. i play the slots also, I love the 9 line slots, I find they pay pretty good and it is only 45 cents a pull to play all nine lines. We went down in 2006, we are in Ohio now because of Hurricane Katrina and I won $1289. on the nine line slots and the 50 cent machines. I really like the dollar machines but unless I have won a bunch I can't afford to play them, sometime swe would take $20. and go play the nickel machine just to get out of the house for awhile. A friend of mine here in Ohio took me to the ones we have down by the Indiana state line last summer, I did not like it, the machines are set up for one cent and a hundred lines, money went too fast, I couldn't get anywhere. If they got 9 line slots play on the nickel ones see if you don't win. I do believe 50 cents one pays better than all the rest. But I guess it just in luck, me I am not in any hurry I will play one nickel at a time till it begins to hit. I love the poker machines we had in the restaurants and bars, i have won a bunch off them, I can tell right from the start if it going to hit or need to move on to another one. Good luck let me know how you do

Try the 9 lines one and see if they aren't better, I find they hit quite often. Then there are some days when it seems nothing is hitting no matter what you play, I could never do nay good on a quarter machine. I love the nickel machines and find ones that i can play a quarters worth on. Got more chance of winning I have hit several times on the nickels. Good luck to you, and thank you for your kind words.

Thanks for the tip. I usually play the quqrter machines, then if I am loosing I will hit the nickle machines, I am not a big spender, just love playing. I always play the 3 line machines, never understood the other ones,maybe thats why I do not win.I am sorry about your misfortune in Katrina, will you be going back to New Orleans?

No I have never been to a Casino but I would love to go once in my life when I have the money if you know what I mean. LOL!!! I have issues with spending money. No matter wether I have to buy it or not I have a huge case of buyers remorse afterwards. LOL!!! I bought my van and had a huge case right after I bought the van. LOL!!!!I needed it though.

There are VLT's (Video Lotto Machines) all over our province here in Canada. Gambling is quite popular around here. In the nearest city to us there are two Casinos. Club Regent and McPhillips Street Station. They both have different themes. The Club Regent Casino is a beach like theme and even has a beautiful aquarium where you can walk through and look over and around you like you're in a tunnel. There are fish swimming everywhere through it. McPhillips Street Station is more like a train station. It's attraction is not as nice as Club Regent's theme. They have built on a hotel to the two casinos so a lot of tourists come and stay there.. sort of like Las Vegas. I really enjoy visiting both casinos but I prefer Club Regent more.

I forgot to mention that about two years ago they just built another casino south of winnipeg and they called it South Beach. It's far from Winnipeg but it's worth the drive. The other two casinos were no smoking but this one you could smoke in because it was built on an indian reserve, but just recently they've changed it where you can't smoke in it anymore and to make up for that, they've added more slot machines to it and I think they said about 300 extra machines. So now all the casinos here are no smoking. I'm not sure if they plan to build a hotel onto this one or not unless they already have? Also not far from there is a new waterpark where they've built waterslides and things.. I personally haven't been there but want to take my son this summer I think we would have a blast and I just love places that make me feel like a kid inside!

Before having our daughter, I would like to go to Casino every weekend. Please don’t get me wrong as I didn’t go there mainly for gambling. Since the design of our local casino, there are 4 big outlets are separated. The first outlet is a restaurant connects with a small stage that musicians can sing and perform while guests can have a good meal and dance. The second outlet is a gambling area that provides blackjack, Roulette etc. table games. The third one is a slot machine area and the last one is Bingo outlet. So I always like to go there with friends to have a good night out – dance and drink! There is no entrance fee or limitation consumption fee. I just pay for what I eat and drink. Even now, I still try to find the time to go! LOL

Hi, I have only been to a casino once, but in that time I lost a lot of money. I do enjoy the feel of being there however. I tend not to go because I know I have a weakness for the whole thing. If I go I know I will end up losing money! Money I don't have! cheers,

When I lived in Mississippi we would go to the casinos in Biloxi sometimes. We didn't usually go to gamble though, just eat. We would walk around and watch the table games. Every once in awhile we would play. Since I have moved to New Jersey we have gone to Atlantic City twice. I didn't like it as much and it is too far from our house. We still go to the casinos in Mississippi once in awhile when we go back to visit.

I went to Las Vegas one summer with some friends. I didn't have any money to throw down on the tables, so I watched. So many people were having fun even if they were winning or losing. (well, not so much the losers) It only took one time and I knew it wouldn't be fun for me. Enjoy your trip!

Yep, I have only been to ALANTIC CITY once, and I think that was in the 1990s. It was really fun, and I have gone to the Casinos in ST. maarten, Dutch West Indies, well I resided fairly close to the island then. In Atlantic City, New Jersey; I did not win anything at all. In ST.Maaten one after noon I hit a couple of big enough wins. Not interested in that any more.

No, I don't go to the casino. I have been to casinos when I was younger, but I was too young to gamble then. The last time I went in a casino was when I went to Las Vegas with my dad back in '89. I was only 14 then. He and my step mom got married at one of those little wedding chapels that are there (sorry, I don't remember which one ) and while we were in Vegas we went to a casino or 2. I of course had to stay away from the slot machines, being a minor and all. I don't really care to gamble, but I would like to go to a casino one day to play the slots just to be able to experience it.

I haven't been to a casino. I don't know! My luck with gambling has never been to good. But I'd love to try my luck on those slot machines. I just dont want to get addicted to gambling. It's a sure fire way to get broke in the least amount of time.

Well it is alot of fun. All do do is take what you can afford to lose. But as I said I have to travel so far. its hard to get addicted.
