    NSS: My First Trip to a Casino!

    Living in Ohio, I don't exactly get many chances to hit the casinos. Since I live in Cincinnati right now, the Ohio River is very close, which can mean only one thing: riverboats!!

    Five friends and I took a trip to the Argosy Casino, which is a riverboat on the Ohio river in Indiana (casinos are illegal in Ohio at the moment).

    I walked in expecting to lose money, as did everyone else in my group. I started by walking around all three floors of the boat, getting a feel for the games. I finally found a seat at a $10 blackjack table and in about an hour I found myself down $100. I had decided earlier that $100 was all I was willing to lose, so I got up and watched my friend play at the same table. Five minutes later, my seat was still empty, so I decided to sit back down, buying $60 of chips.

    After my friend left the table up $20, I went on a hot streak! In about 15 minutes, I had already won all of my money back, and soon I had $280 in chips in front of me. When a new dealer showed up, I knew that that was my cue to get up and leave the table. I was so happy to have won $120, considering that I was down $100 half an hour previously!

    Needless to say, I will definitely be going back! I just hope that my luck stays the same!

    I love blackjack. It is so much fun to get on a table with fun people and a fun dealer. Makes losing your money so much easier.
    Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you'll be a mile from them, and you'll have their shoes.

    Casinos like first time players to win a bit. Then they keep coming back and giving them their money.

    The right way to do it is to drink an amount of alcohol proportionate to the amount of money you are losing. That way, you still come out "even".

    (Do the riverboats give out free drinks?)

    Why do you think they give out free drinks? Keeps them winning.

    If I lose ten bucks, but down 5 drinks, I call that a win for the evening...
