November 7th, last Thursday was payday and I needed to win big using a small amount of money. I needed to leave the casino with $1000.00. This amount was crucial to pay back a family member and my negative bank balance. (We'll ignore all the rest of the money to the negative for the moment.)
So, I headed off to my local casino by myself with $60.00. An hour later and I'm broke. So, off to my "payday loan" company it is. I reinvented the present loan and was shortly on my way with $250.00
I've only got 30 minutes left!!!!! I'm down to $150!!!! My favorite penny buffalo is suddenly free. Hey, I've won $400 on this one in the past. I'm an optimist.
Fifteen minutes to go and I get the bonus round. I'm playing 4 lines times 4 (not thinking of the consequences because I'm banned from being in the casino in the first place).
Suddenly, I see dozens of buffalo...OMG...927 dollars of them. I start wishing the dang free games would not produce any more matches and be over. But, golden coins kept coming and adding free games. There were more matches and buffaloes. It ended and the dreaded words appeared. "call the attendant, you have won a jackpot!" I won about $1300.00. I think. My mind froze a few seconds.
It was so hard to get out of that seat and leave. But I did. I walked straight to my car and left crying all the way home.
I didn't want to go to jail. This experience, a recent heart to heart talk with my daughter and a talk with my husband has ended my slot machine career. I'm so lucky to still have a family because I've been addicted a long time.
COUNT WITH JANE________ I count the days without a visit to the casino and share my gambling history.
