Short drive to a casino?

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Me too Phil. No enjoyment for me playing next to weirdos, stinkbombs, chain smokers, or just plain idiots...not that there are not nice table players too. Been there done that for years on the craps table. Somehow the chase of beating that machine is what does it for me too!!! Of course the casino knows this as well.

Just watched the trailer. Looks good. Couldn't make out the cars. One looked to be a 68 or 69 Olds. Mine was a 65 442. Will follow up though. Thanks. If you type in" 65 442 you tube tv ad" and search....the original video from 1965 comes up. Mine was a hard top though. very fast car.

Yeah, unsure of the year, it was a beater, fit for the flick, but had that R O A R.  I was selling at an Olds dealer back then and NEVER did a 442 go out for less than sticker.  Back then the Cutlass line was an 18% markup, but, heck the resale value was so high, like, sticker was nothing cuz you'd be gettin' it back anyway.  As far as the topic, we live in Reno, downtown........my observation is, since we lived in Vegas prior too.....the promo's were better there, in Vegas.  The distance to drive was the topic, and, for my two cents, I prefer Vegas.  Dotty's is more fair, in my estimation, here.  Baldini's, a local shop, is NEAT!  Fair play, also.  Love that 442, even in it's worse color, lol.

It is nice to have casinos in Ohio and especially near Columbus.  The video poker pay tables are not great on the quarter machines, a little better on the dollar. We still go to Vegas twice a year though.
