Made it to Vegas with minimal smoke plumes.

What did go up in smoke was my gambling budget. I’ll admit it: i’m a sucker for nickel slots. Call me an old lady. So I figure, what better way to stretch out the money and time to be offered free drinks than with the penny slots? They’re just as entertaining and the drinks are just as free.

At the Wynn casino, where it smells like baby powder and tangerines, the penny slots are everywhere. I shoulda been suspicious. Why would they gve up such prime real estate to such low stakes?

Cuz nobody plays just one penny per spin. They entice you with multiple lines. Multiple bets per line. Next thing you know, you one cent pull becomes a $2.10 pull. And your $20 becomes $50 becomes, well… Nothing.

It was a very expensive free drink.
