*Look, somehow what was supposed to be a short thread, seeing if anyone shared interests in small-time gambling, turned into a ramble. I blame the DEA for not doing their job good enough, hahah..Sorry, anyway, just scroll to about halfway for the jest of the thread, lol.
Well, that's what people tend to call them around the SouthEast, at least - more specifically, Georgia, (yeah, I know, ughhhh lol), more widely known as, the slot machines found in gas stations and such, haha, but yeah man...Just curious, you guys into playing the Slots, or do you try to steer clear from that kinda business?
Back in the late Summer, or early Fall (around mid-late August), a friend of mine convinced me, just cause I had $5, and we'd already had our fun for the night, to try it out...
ended up spinnin' on a 50 cent bet, nailed a [x200] multiplier, came out to a little over $100, and ever since that stroke of luck, been playin' when I have extra cash, up to I'd say like, $20. If
I could look back at my total wins:losses, I'd say, I'm definitely 'UP' in the long run, by close to $3,000...but then again, back when I would get geeked and sit on 'em for 6-10 hours, feedin' those damn things $20s the whole time...sometimes mistakes were made....lol. By that, I mean, through the ups and downs,
over the past like, 9 months, only $3000 positive, but I also keep myself in check and don't end up walking out with less than $10 than what I put in the damn thing, heheh.
BUT now, I'm good with it - I make damn sure I have allll my necessities handled (bills/rent handled, cigarettes[not necessity, but strong desire], gas in my tank, probation fines paid, etc. etc.), before I go throwin' in more than even $10 in a session, unlike a lot of people. Those who play 'em, or know what I'm on about, know the kinda people I'm talking about, I'm sure, haha.
So yeah, main thing, do you guys gamble on the gas-station-slots, or think it's a waste of time?
*Make notes of the bold print to see what got me likin' it, and all that good stuff*
If you've never tried it, find someone who pays cash, if gambling isn't allowed in your state or whatever, and if you have $3 layin' around...might as well give it a shot...what's the WORST that can happen, right? Haha. Either you lose a small $3, or walk out with from $5, $10, sometimes even $100+, life's all about risks, so why not, right?
Oh, to get an idea of just what the hell I'm talking about, if you're not familiar, you can see an example, sorta,
just to get the general idea of what they look like/how they play out, and all (though the website says 'Max bet of $20.00', most places cap it at a $5.00 max bet, haha)HERE[click colored text] (one of my favorite, most-hitting ones, even hehe) here's the original "Lucky Shamrock" seen in action, as well. (Not very common to see where I live, but perhaps in other states or somethin')

Confused about what the fuck this is all about? Very understandable. Tweakin', to be blunt and honest, and I do apologize, however:
I've attempted to explain it.
Not sure what you're trying to do here...
Just seeing if anyone else enjoys small-time, low-risk gambling, man. Just what was on my mind, figured I'd share with the community, and see if anyone else enjoyed what I enjoy (when it comes down to NOTHING else to do, lol..)
It IS 'General' Discussion, yes? I kiiiid, I kiiiid. But yep.
