A One Time Thing

We went to Barona Casino yesterday & Daryl joined us. I got a detail a little confused though. The 2 hour thing. You have to play for at least 2 hours not up to 2 hours. Duh, that makes sense. Why would I think they'd want you to stop. So you've gotta make your $200 last for 2 hours or else you've gotta put more money in that they won't cover if you loose it. In the end we lost all of our money but it only cost us the atm fee (we didn't stop to get cash & their atm has a $3 fee). We had lunch in the food court (delicious burgers & pizza), parking was free & every employee we spoke to was super nice & courteous.

We did have to laugh at ourselves because once we got all set up with our cards we all sat down & had no idea how to work the stupid things. What dorks. Of course the boys weren't gonna ask so I flagged down a cashier lady and said with a laugh in my voice, "Hi, I'm new. How do I work this thing?" What a lame-o. She explained it, I got it & explained it to the boys. They had a harder time grasping the bet 1-20 lines & bet each line 1-5 times.

2 hours on a slot machine is alot like playing scratchers for 2 hours so it got a little old but we had to have 2 hours on our card so we kept pushing the buttons. I'm glad we did it for something different, even more glad we didn't actually loose $400 but since that's only a first time visitor thing, we probably won't go back.

Good to know that I could never get hooked. It was hard for me to play it all even though I knew I'd get it back. What can I say, I'm a cheap-o.
