That casino and cash wagon comment made me smile ear to ear. I have been to casinos, but mainly to eat and see shows. I have never sat at a table or a machine and gambled. Just not in my DNA. However, whenever I found myself in Las Vegas, usually for eating contests and once for 3.0s food writers convention, I would put ONE quarter into a machine and pull the arm JUST to say I gambled in Las Vegas and that I broke even.

I was once there for a hot dog contest and my buddy and I went to Sunset Station to beat up the breakfast buffet. As we were leaving I said "Hang on a sec. I have to gamble." So I put that one quarter in a machine, pulled the arm, and walked away. In about 15 seconds I heard noise and some guy started yelling to me "Dude! Dude! Your machine hit!!" I won $150 on one quarter and walked out with my winnings. NO "Let it ride" for me. I just don't gamble.

Well, outside of getting married 3 times... I did better with that slot machine.
