I used to visit Casino’s often, mostly due to the women I was seeing, but stopped going for the longest time. A few months before the lockdown I used to go for the buffets as the food was decent and the price good.
I signed up for a card and didn’t play that much. Then they started sending me free gift promotions that I was a sucker for. I started going weekly for the free gifts and played a little blackjack. I was on a roll where I won 16 out of 17 times but never big wins (up approx $7,500 overall). The secret is knowing when to quit. I was satisfied in winning very little since I received my free gift and I could fill up on gas at more than $.10 off the price where I live. Plus, I gained comps that I could use for food and gift cards. All of a sudden though, they slowly stopped offering me free gifts because, I believe, they knew I was winning (pit bosses monitor this). So I stopped going and then the casinos shut down. I still have a few hundred dollars in comp money that I have to redeem so once they reopen I will purchase gas gift cards.
One of my best moments was the time I went with a regular as she loved baccarat. While she played baccarat I played blackjack. After a little while she come over as she had lost and I was up $1,000. I played a few more hands and left. I gave the cashier my chips and she gave me my winnings and I immediate gave it to her. The look of appreciation on her face was something I will never forget. Sadly she went back home
