The Gambler

I'm preparing for my vacation departure tomorrow morning.

The main point of our trip is Bruce at Giants Stadium on Thursday, but in the meantime, there's Atlantic City to discover.

I have $9.00 in American quarters. Plenty to make my fortune, no?

An acquaintance who is a big gambler told me to only play the quarter machines, not to bother with the piddling nickle machines. So off I'm going with my nine bucks.

More than a fortune at the slots, what I'm really hoping for is two days of nice beach weather with no risk of hurricane remnants. Is that too much to ask? I have packed a rain poncho just in case we have to watch Bruce in a downpour. I'm too old for that kind of fun, I think. But for Bruce I will endure it.

Okay - if it's not too late, please note: playing slots in a casino, while fun, is a little like going to a pub in Dublin and ordering a 7-Up. Technically you're drinking in a pub, but if it ain't Guiness...

So please find 20 dollars from your vast store of wealth and play a betting game at a table. A couple of hands of blackjack - it's easy!
