I used to go to the casino near the Wisconsin Dells at least once or twice a month until they switched from coin to paper pay out. It seems like the machines don't pay out as much anymore....now I go maybe every three or four months if that. I usually play in the high stakes room there and five years ago I won $34,000 in one year but nothing quite so big since. I was there with my sisters last week and I won $600 on the Wheel of Fortune slots. Last year, I won $1,300 on my birthday at the boat in Marquette, Iowa but we only go there about once or twice a year.
As far as the Power Ball goes, I won $100 twice over the last several years but I don't play it very often at all.
We went to Las Vegas about 15 years ago and lost about $3,000. I wasn't too impressed with the casinos, but I liked the shows and getting to visit Hoover Dam.
It's only fun when you win. So now, I've taken to mostly playing the slots on my computer where it doesn't cost anything and you win more often.
