[StangFlyer]

Well, I just got back from downtown Detroit where a long time friend of mine took me for a belated birthday gift (dinner down at the Greektown Casino). We went to the casino to eat at the Alley Grill and also gamble a little. I have only been to three casinos in my life (Greektown once before, MGM here once, and the Atlantis in the Bahamas) and I've never played anything but a few $.25 slot machines when I went before. Well, my friend is good at Craps and Roulette, so I wanted to try playing those and Blackjack. I had told him he needed to show me the ropes while we were there.

Well, we played slots first for a while. The first thing we did was get on a couple nickel slots and while playing my first $10 bucks I hit on that machine for $40 bucks. So, I cashed out. Later, we were playing on some fifty cent slots and I then hit for $80 on that one. So, I moved from that machine to the one on the other side of the one my friend was playing on. Someone else had just left it and moved a couple machines down after not hitting anything on it for a while. So, I started on it... Well, I was playing one $.50 pull per time (instead of the max 2x$.50) and just three pulls in I jackpotted the damn thing!! I won 1000 coins on it ($500!). I almost couldn't believe it, and my friend was freaking out before I even realized that the three diamonds I got were the jackpot. Man, you know that guy that just left it was not happy a couple machines down from me.

So, then we ate dinner and came back to play some table games. I gave my friend $40 of my loot to buy in on the craps table. He played some money on hard six, hard eight, and soft six and eight. He hit the first throw and was up $100 dollars. He played quite a while and cashed out up a decent amount. We then went to the roulette table. We bought in there with $60 dollars in chips and played there for quite some time. We ended up cashing out there in the end up about $50 bucks. After that, we went to the Blackjack table finally. I bought in with $100 in chips ($15 table). I walked away after playing for about an hour more than doubling my money ($250).

So, in the end I had a great day, and belated birthday, from my friend. I gambled for six hours, had an awesome dinner (20 oz. steak dinner and wine), and won like $800 to boot! SWEET!
