COLD DARK ROOM

Most American states now have lotteries.
A lot of them also have full casino gambling.
Until recently, gambling was unusual except for in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and some Indian owned lands.

I can't 'like' that I'm afraid, hate the thought of it. The worm really does turn - my stomach!

I can't even eat spaghetti or beansprouts because they remind me of worms

Is that true?

Some of our cities have casinos now but not on US scale, they've been trying to put one in Blackpool in the North which is a family holiday spot for years - don't know if they've succeeded yet. I've only been to one casino and that was in Sun City in S Africa, I played on some slot machines and Bingo - I know how to live!

 

[Lyn W]

Is that true?

Yup! I eat with my eyes - a bit messy I know - but if food reminds me of something nasty I can't eat it.
Anything in a white sauce reminds me of the time I stepped in our dog's sick when I was little so that's out too!
And rice - maggots. Nothing a good therapist couldn't sort out I'm sure!

I only gamble as a special thing when we go to Las Vegas. It feels different and I don't seem to lose quite as much there. My wife and I got married out there years ago and we go back from time to time.

Yes, I heard this, and that the Native Americans like a bit of a flutter.
Even in Morocco we now have casinos in all the major cities (except mine), though it's forbidden to gamble in Islam.

Originally we gave Indians the casinos to try to make up for...You know, screwing them out of absolutely EVERYTHING.
Now they have to compete with the others.

Yeah, the letter should be sent to your housey!

I've got your card marked you know!

I think our banks and building societies do those too. I think the PBs are now classed as National Savings &Investments and may have been started by the Post Office, When I was a kid if I saved £1 my dad would double it and buy a PB for me and later was left some by an aunt but they just sit there. I did win £50 a long time ago,

I won quite a lot on the premium bonds, they were very good to me.
Never did the lottery.

No I'm a daft thing really!

There's hope for us all then!

Wifey loves casinos, we've visited most of the famous ones.
I lose.
She invariably wins lots.

One of my nephews has an American girlfriend and I believe she has family in Las Vegas I know he's been there.

I honestly usually make a buck or two because I know to stop if I get ahead even by a few dollars.

Unlucky for some.

Vegas is so much fun and nearby there is SO much to do. There is snow, desert, water, all not far apart.
We also do the National parks. Usually on rented motorcycles.
