Beating The Bandits
When you walk into a casino it is psychologically geared into making you forget the inevitable is about to happen. You are going to loose money. Everything from the color of the chips to the sounds of the machines is well planed out to make you feel good about going broke.
There is a way go get the upper hand on the one arm bandits and the name of the game is nickel slots. Nickel slots don't pay out big, but in the amount of time it will take you to go through eighty nickels, you can rack up quite a few free drinks courtesy of the house. How do you know if you are a winner? Take your tray full drinks, multiply the total number of glasses by $4.50 and subtract it from the four dollars of nickels spent in the machine. How can you loose? I walked into the Grand Casino of Gulfport sometime after one. I don't know exactly what time it was when I left, but the sun was coming up, my hands were black from digging in cups full of nickels, I was a couple of bucks ahead and feeling no pain.
