That individual might need counseling. I go gamble once in a while but I never let it become a habit or obsession. I only go out as a way to have fun/kill the night. Have a few drinks and come back home.

To escape from Gambling, you need to not gamble at all, that means anything from scratcher tickets, lottery, playing poker at home, and going to the casino.  Gambling is a drug!!!

I only go there to ALL YOU CAN EAT SEA FOOD NIGHT. Crab legs.. lick/ I mean eat raw oysters. I rather spend 25.00 on things that will satisfies me tummy, then to spend it on meaningless slot machine and go home hungry..

I watched my buddy from Marshall many yrs ago. go to casino and blew his whole pay check there. and we all came back to his place with a empty tummy.. Well mine was full, but IDK wat his tummy was for the next 2 week.

just for fun or for money?

YOu should set her up to play with real money but the money that she loses just goes into your account so you can give it back to her to play again, without her knowing about it.

hows the crab legs and sea food there, is it worth going for it being that far away?

It ain't about winning.  It's the adrenaline they get from taking the risk; the higher the bet, the higher the rush.

I never really cared for gambling.  Statistically speaking its designed for you to lose the majority of the time.

If I knew I was going to a place where 80% (just throwing out a number) of the time the outcome would not favor me, I wouldn't go there. At least with alcohol or drugs, 100% of the time, you'll get that high/buzz...but gambling, its just a probability, and a low one at that.

It is, it's guaranteed win business for casinos and guaranteed lose for us.  That's how everything is set up, black jacks, slots, etc.

TI crab legs R bigger then Mystic. Plus TI is a bit cheaper.. Mystic is on Wed.nite and TI is on Thrus.nite.
It's worth it, TI.. 25.00per person, eat about 4-7plates of mountain hi, crabs.. You spend 40+@ sams club N it aint enough to eat.. TI @ the end you eat about 40-60.00 worth of seafood legs..

Oh, just for fun.  Online gambling is a little risky(illegal in the USA).

i once visited the casino buffet, stayed there long enough to be approached by an elder woman selling me her gold rings and bracelets. its crazy what people will do when addicted to gambling.

Or an old grandma will walk by and claim you as one of her decendants and wants you to hand over some cash so she can go home.  The first time i was caught up in it....it was ok.  Second time.....no way old lady.  Please go away.
