Big Winner

Friday night Rob surprised me by taking me up to the new Snoqualmie Casino, our own mini Vegas just one town away. Neither of us are really big gamblers, but Rob definitely enjoys it more than I do. I have a hard time losing money, and I rarely win anyways. Rob is more from the 'bet big, win big' school of gambling while I like to save my dollars and stick to the nickel slots. Within the first 10 minutes of us being there Rob had already lost $200 at the blackjack tables. I couldn't handle the losing and was ready to leave.

We decided to try out the slots before taking off. Naturally I headed towards the nickel slots and found one that looked fun - it was a cow dairy themed game called Milk Money. I slipped in a $1 and on my second try I hit a major jackpot, well major by nickel slot standards. I won over $30 bucks! I know $30 bucks isn't very much, but it was more than I had ever won before.

I took a picture of the screen, but before I could get a good shot a casino security guard came and told me that cameras were not allowed on the casino floor. I already knew that (I got in trouble for taking pictures in a Vegas casino a few years back), but I thought it was worth a try. I decided to cash out and head to the ladies where I could take a picture of my winnings in private without anyone around to ruin my happiness.

I was still on a high and wanted to keep playing. I went on to win another $20 bucks or so then lost $20 again. This was more than enough excitement for us. I cashed out my big money and told Rob that I was going to take him somewhere nice for dinner with my winnings, or at least as nice as $30 could buy. After some shopping at Bellevue Square I treated my beau to the classiest of all classy establishments, Red Robin. Quite the night!
