1. I think I may have lost some money in slot machines. |
|
I'm not sure how much.
I've only gone to Casinos as part of business trips, for social reasons. I'm not a big casino gambler.

2. I won $400 at the track once. |
|
It's the only time I ever gambled and I bet $20 on a 20 to 1 horse because it had an Irish name.
I won about $25 in nickels at a casino but I was only 17 and they carded me and took it away. I was pissed. They didn't care when I was sitting there losing money for 4 hours.

13. I won $5,078 on a progressive 25 cent machine, once. |
|
It was on my first spin. I stood in front of a bank of progressive slots, looked at them for about 30 seconds, decided I would play about $20 worth. I picked the machine I was standing directly in front of. Put two quarters in and all hell broke loose. Bells, sirens went off, and the machine played "California Here I Come," over and over again. Got paid fifty, one hundred dollar bills. Took me a half hour to get my money, though, while security viewed the tape to make sure I hadn't cheated somehow. I took 500 dollars and went to the blackjack tables, where I won another 900 dollars in a half hour. Then, I had security escort me to my car.

And I have to add that I do fairly well at the track. If Smarty Jones had won the Belmont, I would have picked up about $80K from a $15 wheeled Pick 6.
That was a rough one...
