A friend of mine and I rode our Harleys to the casino last night. To make a long story short, he won $25,000 on a slot machine. It was pretty exciting. We were so nervous walking out of that casino last night. They gave it to him all in cash. 250 $100 bills. I don't think I have ever held that much money in my life. Fun night!

Very cool Todd! Slot machines love me..and my money. I'm always convince the "next" pull will be the winner. Which is why I'm not allowed bank or credit cards at the casino...makes DH too nervous!

We have won small amounts of money, I think $93 was the top, $25,000 wow that is a big hit.

I got my bike out of the shed yesterday, not as easy as it sounds. Will give it a going over and go for a ride today it is suppose to be mid 70's here in Central Maine, way above average, we'll take it. Last year we could get any pleasurable riding in before June this is much better, by the weekend it is suppose to be more seasonal, we will take what we can get.

That is so exciting. I'd be sledgehammering my kitchen right now. Congrats to your friend -- hope he bought the drinks, and dinner for that matter.

Very cool Todd, that must have been really exciting to watch. My BIL won $10,000.00 on a slot once, in Vegas. I'd settle for breaking even!

I'm hoping that you had a security guard or someone walk out with you.
Last year a guy won $5k in a Hold'Em tourney in Westminster, he never made it out alive from the parking lot.

Actually, we didn't have anybody walk us out. The place wasn't very busy and not that many people knew he won. I did find out later on that we were watched all the way to our bikes by casino security with their cameras.
