High Roller....

Indiana doesn't allow casinos.



They do however allow "Casinos".



Confusing huh?



The "casino" has to be on water (aka: riverboat casino) or has to be electric (as in, no actual chips/cards are used...it's all digital on a computer screen)



It's dumb.



I for one am not a gambler....I'd rather actually buy something (ie: shoes) with my money.



I will however take a trip to a "casino" for/with my dad.

Saturday landed us at a "casino" about an hour east of Indianapolis....it was my pop's birthday and that is what he wanted to do so we all loaded into the car (madre was our DD) and off to the "casino" we went!

Upon our arrival Stone handed me a $20, I got a brew and then put $1.00 (yes, you read it correctly ONE DOLLAR) into a penny slot machine.



By the way, the slot machines these days are CONFUSING! Gone are the days of the ole cherry, a gold bar and a number 7!!!!



Things started to go south so I cashed out at $0.40 (ha!...I'm absurd).



I then attempted to find a slot machine that didn't look impossible hard to manage. I happened upon one with dinosaurs on it and put my $0.40 in.



How hard can that be? I mean come on dinosaurs?!?!?!....piece of cake!

In reality I had no idea what I was doing and just kept hitting random buttons, all the while my sister stood behind me laughing/cheering me on.

(I'm sure we were a site to see)


I won 13 free games, learned that multiple dinosaurs in a row (up, down or side to side) are good AND that the machine RRRRROOOOOAAARRRRs T-Rex style when you win.

Lady Luck was on my side and I won $7.87!!!!

Oh yeah...you can bet your bottom dollar I cashed out and called it a night with those winnings!!!

note: sorry no pictures...the "casino secret service" said they would take my camera away if I took any pics.
