Anyone ever win anything cool

My old man is a tin ass, he only bets big rarely and only does it on gut instinct and then pays for holidays overseas etc. He nailed 21 blacks in a row at a casino in China once to pay for the whole trip for mum and him. Same in England in the 80's he paid for the holiday for the three of us on a horse race. Me largest thing I won a local raffle with a trailer load of stuff that eventually broke or wore out and promises from local busnisess's but many didnt step up when asked , the cunts. :-)

Good to see a @Andre I like to see people stop in so we knows they are still kicking.

Nothing compared to all of the above unfortunately . Well done. Sticking to the physical the wins are minimal. I won $700 on quarter slots at Boom town once. Enjoyed the free drinks, cashed the cups and never went back. Weird really because I'm tempted and worried I'll miss my inner artist gambling gene. Won a Mach 7-7 boogie-board on a live radio contest when it came out..the original ..and promptly had it ripped off. Won a massive craftsman ratchet set at Lowes once. That was cool. Two trays of lumpia and a free pitcher of domestic at a birthday party once. Countless ashtrays, shot glasses, coffee mugs, poorly made stuffed animals and random gag gift toys at weekend Fairs and festivals. I think I need to go back to the Casino.

Ahh... slot machines and casinos. Thankfully I've never been big on either. Went to Vegas once with the wife, my brother and his wife. We were there a week and the only time we stepped into a casino was to get our picture taken "playing the slot machines".... typical touristy stuff. Had a blast at Vegas, going to shows, and just plain walking around the entire Strip which believe me... is a longer walk than it sounds.

On the other hand, I used to work with this lady that was a slot machine fanatic. We'd have a seminar somewhere, and after work she would head straight to the casino. She was pretty good, too. Won a lot more than I would have imagined.
I guess there's an "art" to that.

I get a kick out of people (mostly older ladies) who stake out a section of slot machines and guard them like junkyard dogs. Venture into a guarded section and you'll get at best a scolding... LOL.
Slot machine junkies.

That reminds me of a Friends episode where an old woman would lurk and wait for people to lose their money on slot machines and then go on them immediately after they walked away and take the winnings.

When I went to Vegas I only played on the cheap slot machines to get out of the stifling heat of the desert and get free cold drinks from the hot waitresses who gave them to you to keep playing on the machines.

I never understood taking a vacation to gamble. Don’t we save money for a vacation. Do you save money for vacation to enjoy yourself? Why be all bummed out about losing money? I know you weren’t there just to gamble master I just know a lot of people who go to Las Vegas to gamble for vacation and it doesn’t seem appealing to me

I only went to visit the place as a tourist and go in all the hotels which were magnificent. The slot machines were 5 or 10 cents. Would have loved to see a big fight if one was on then.

Cold drinks from hot waitresses. Sounds like a great reason to be in a casino, @Master .

Imagine how the high-rollers get treated.

Well it looks like I didn’t win the watch raffle as I expected but I did pick up a 1964 omega seamaster deville for 60 bucks. Needs some TLC but overall I good pick. Looks like crap now but give me a week and it’ll look good
