 Do you wear a helmet when you gamble?

@ twowings - I walked out with the entire $1005... :thumb:  The key is to always "HIT THE CASH OUT" button when you win, and then LEAVE immediately"... :cool: 

@ AZWayne - Not a big gambler, but my friend "Fast Eddie"(in the photo with me) is...Won $300 last week, same drill...probably spent $40 since last slot jackpot win.

@ Sasquatch Jim - No, I don't wear a full coverage helmet when I gamble... :wink:

@ ITSec - Yes, I will buy you a drink at the Lobby Bar in Vegas in a few weeks...but only if you sing "O Canada" for me... :smiley: :laugh: :grin:
