The "Frugal" Gods smiled on me!!!
So, as usual I went into my girlfriends work (a casino) when I got off work last night, I do every tuesday! We sit and have hot cocoa and about every other week to every month I allot myself $5 for playing!!
So, last night I was playing, and BS'in with her and got pissy because I was not even winning enough to just play with and I was tired so I hit the "max bet" button and HOLY CRAPOLI I dont know what the heck it was but it paid me $127.
Yeah for Mommy
THEN (yup, it aint over) I cashed out and played with my original $5 until she got off work, just messin round waiting and, I hit another $170. bonus!!
So, she got off work, we went to have cocoa at the casino next door!
THEN (Yup, again!!) I was playin round with my original $5 and hit a buncha wild thingies on several machines!! So, all in all, I still have my $5 in my lil stash pocket in my purse, and I walked out of there at 1:30 this morning with $560.
WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hubby tried to get pissy when I got home so late till I told him why I was so late, then he said, "WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO"
And I am tired as 10 other tired things this morning!!

Way cool!! That is fabulous!! What do you plan on doing with your winnings?
I have tried to play the games in a casino they have out here. I am too ADHD. I get bored after about 30 seconds. So, being ADHD can be very frugal. **teehee**
