Have you ever been to a casino?

I came through Reno on a bicycle trip and some friends brought me to the casino for the smorgasbord. They figured I was hungry. Food was terrific. While waiting for seats I pulled out fifty cents and said I was going to keep putting it in the TV poker game until I either lost it or our table was ready. I walked away with a dollar. Doubled my money. What do you think? Was that the beginning of a career I passed up?

No, I've never been to a casino. I'm really not much of a gambler, which is probably why I'm not very interested in going to one. I may go to one, some day, but right now, it's not really something that I want to do.

GOOD MORNING JEN. NO, I HAV NEVER BEEN TO A CASINO.I have led such a sheltered life ,ha!ha. Alot of people go from here i think to tunica, ms. & there is one about a hour & a half from here in metropolis, il. I think they would be fun to go see. I'm not much of a gambler.

I have been to casinos many times in my life, when I was small we went almost every other month, my Dad loved to gamble and at that time children were entertained at the swimming pool or on horses. Both my brother and I loved that and stayed out of my Dad's hair.

I have worked at a place called the Mountaineer race track where you can gamble. But I don't gamble. I think gambling makes you lose way to much money they you need. I made a bet one time on a horse and won a little bit of money but after that I never did it again. Gambling just wasn't my thing.

"Place your bet now!" Good Luck...lol familiar with this words. Casino is a great place to get some entertainment, relax and having fun. I've been to Genting a few times with my family's, I don't think that is a fair game. They have a very good system that prevent someone from winning. Eye Yo! Slots machine, we name it suck money machine...lol they only pay when it suck enough money from someone else. 100$ in 30$ out the most, so, everyone need to contribute. Hahaha....just kidding. Have fun!

I've been to Vegas and Atlantic City. At Atlantic City my sister's partner gave us each $20 to lose on the penny slots, and we lost it, but by the end of the week, she had won it all back. I wrote about my trip in a string of discussions called Travels with my bother (I mean brother). http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1179287.aspx http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1180329.aspx http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1189471.aspx http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1189698.aspx

Hi Jen! Yes, I've been to a casino before, but I didn't go to gamble as I was too young at the time! LOL However, I've been to a few in Tahoe and one or 2 in Vegas. Can you believe I've never gambled in a casino before? And here I'm the same age as you...almost! LOL

A true casino, no. I have been to those aboard cruise ships and I do not like the smoky atmosphere. The clattering of the tokens is the sound I love though. lol. I guess all casinos should be offering the same types of games. The difference is the service level and the types of customers.

yes I have. I like the slot machines and seem to be lucky at them. I have story you may like. When they first opened the Casinos in Atlantic City my brother was working for a state employment agency. One of his jobs was go to the casinos and see how the workers were doing. I was visiting my mother that day so my brother asked if I and mom would like to take a ride? Of Course we said yes. When we got to the casino while he was talking to the bosses I looked around. It was very nice but there were not to many people there. I thought about it and said to myself, well are you going to just walk around? Why not play something? So being a big spender from the east I took 3 quarts and put them in the slots. My brother saw me and when he stopped laughing he said it was good thing I did not win. The casino would have gone broke.

Sure I have. I have been to several. I love Las Vegas, it is one of my favorite places to visit, and I have been there 4 times, so I of course have been to a lot of casinos while I was there. We also have a river boat casino about 30 minutes from where I live, I have not been there in a few years, but I have been there about 10 times in the last 15 years since it opened. Last time I was in Las Vegas I won $600 dollars playing 3 card poker, it was very exciting.

No, I have never been to a casino. I do not gamble and if I ever do go in the future it would be sight see not gamble.

No, I haven't been to Casino. Well, I've been in one of the shows inside the Casino. But I never gambled.

No, I've never gone to a Casino, and truthfully, do not feel compelled to do so. I see and hear about too many people throwing their last dime away gambling, spending on "luck", that may never happen. It's a sad thing for those who are capable of becoming compulsive gamblers.

Yes, I have been to a lot of Casinos, I will list some. I went to one Chicogo, it was on the out shrirts on a River Boat. I went to one in Sandiego, Atlantic City, Hollywood park that was in a city in California. Wheeling West Virgina, Mountaineer. Erie Pa. I have never won a whole lot of money but one of these days I will.

I have been a few times. All I ever did was play the quarter slots. The first time I made about $20 and the second time I lost about that much. I was up quite a bit at one point my first time, but ended up feeding it all back into the machine.

The first time I went to a casino was in Vegas. I stayed at the Hilton in order to be near the spirit of my hero, Elvis, as that was the casino resort he performed in so many times in the period from 1969 to 1977. I gambled there my first night on the video poker machines and really enjoyed it. Lost all my money though!!

Yes, I have. I went to Elko,NV for my honeymoon. We won't go there. My ex- and I went to Reno for his sisters wedding. It was great! We gambled, went to this lovely smorgasboard, went to a relatives show. {I am not a name dropper] Have been to Las Vegas too. Mostly just drove through but we did stop for alittle while once. The sunrises were amazing. We also stopped in a bar on the coast one time and gambled. Can't remember where it was. All fun. I never went broke. Wish I could say the same thing for the men I was with.

Well, since I live in Las Vegas my answer is YES. But I don't go to the casinos that much anymore, we usually go to the bar near our house on the weekends to play nickels. They have machines at the bars and grocery stores too. It's more quiet at the bar then the crowded casinos. And I won yesterday

I visited Las Vagas two times. The first time there, I cannot help trying the slotting machines, and the result is nearly balance. For the limited time I missed the grand buildings, shows and the night neons, which I was fortunate to make up the second time there. For ordinary visitors, I highly recommend that focus on the constructions and activities, instead of the gambling, which should take a very little portion of your precious time.
