JDanno, back in 73, 1k would have been a healthy down payment on a house!
You are right! My wife's father had bought her a car new for $1100. It was an Opel.
Best time , funniest thing and the worst time

Best trip to the casino was when I went into the casino with $20. I had went to see a friend in hospital and decided to go over to the casino across the river and eat lunch. Then thought oh well play my twenty and I played a $2 slot. Second spin it went red double seven, red double seven, red double seven. $5,000 was suddenly mine. I took the taxes out. Then went home and paid off the car.
Worst trip was about three weeks later at the same casino. I came with a $100. First slot machine I played on first play hit $1,800. I decided to stay and play a little more. I hit $1,200 on third spin on next machine. I went to another machine and hit on fifth spin $1,000.
Then my cell phone rings--daughter is coming with her husband and I got to feed them. Well I was ready to leave but thought oh well I can afford to play a little more. Good news was I went to blackjack table and only took out my eighty dollars left from my first hundred. I played for about two hours waiting for the daughter and son-in-law. Finally got up when they arrived and I had lost my eighty dollars.
Here I lost my $100 and had to buy my son-law-supper it had to be a bad evening at the caisno right!
Good news was I gave daughter $100 and took her to a couple of machines that pay often in that casino. She hit $300 on third spin and she cashed it and we went home.
P.S. I do like the son-in-law he takes care of my daughter and has a job and when he goes to the casino he plays $20 and that is it! Smart guy--I mean he got me as a father-in-law right
