Idk. I got extraordinarily drunk in Vegas, put a twenty in a dollar slot machine, thought I would get 20 pulls, pulled once, lost all my money, them never touched a slot machine again.

Lmao this was my experience as well. What a waste. At least I know casinos are not on my list of things to do when I go places now.
