I am not really interested in betting but I understand that they have Roulette and other electronic betting gadgets are all fixed. I wonder if those who play on these realise that.

The odds always favor the house, if that's what you mean.

When we go to a casino we take a certain amount of cash and after that is gone, that's it. Last time I went I did leave with more money in my pocket than what I came in with. It's entertainment for us, really ... we never intend to ever get rich from playing in the casinos ... and, btw, we rarely go, maybe once a year at the most.

I used to go out on the casino boats when I live in Fla...I too only allowed so much for play and stuck to it. sometimes win.. just enjoyed the ride and entertainment after allotted money gone ( a drink too )

If you're interested in online gambling,
there was a big Hollywood movie about an online gambler,
who felt he was being ripped off, so he went to the offshore island to find out.
A big actor played the lead, a fun movie to watch.
It's supposed to be a true story.
You don't have to convince me getting ripped off is real.
Even computer companies call downloading a tune ripping it,
when the complete phrase is ripping it off.

Here in Niagara Falls, where there are three provincial casinos,
the oldest one has a space for "free live bands" on the main floor.
There is a bar for fruit juices, pop and coffee, all free, just no waitress any more.
Lots of musicians like to hang out and listen to hot area bands,
and there's a big balconey out there, overlooking the Falls, for smokers.

I take my biggest gamble just waking up every day. For real.
