Yet another fun night at Gulf Waters – Casino Night. A ticket ($15) bought $5000 worth of betting bucks and 5 raffle tickets. You could use them at blackjack, slots or, as I did, roulette. Two hours of play, then trade in your bucks for more raffle tickets ($1000 per ticket). About 40 prizes – some worth upwards of $300 – were donated. Jett and I ended the night with $7000 – loss of $3000, just like a real casino. I did ok betting on 0 and 00 and got 35-to-1 hits on 33 and 28, but 11 was a total bust, as was 22 and 24. Oh, well.
So we had a total of 17 raffle tickets. You might think that we would have won one of the 40 prizes, but you would be wrong. We walked out of the “casino” empty-handed. Just like a real casino.
