Three of my friends and I went up to Tulalip Casino this weekend for a little Friday night fun. I only play craps, even though I don’t really know how to. It is fun to me, especially talking to the other people at the table. I did pretty well last night, leaving with about 3 times as much money as I put in. It was my first time leaving a casino up money, and it feels really, really different. We played for abotu5 hours I think, and I had a blast the whole time.
I can see whole gambling is an addiction though. Some of these guys were dropping hundreds and, for some, thousands, of dollars, losing it all, going to the ATM and then coming back to the tables. Some of them looked like they were having a great time, so i’m not sure I can really say that is bad. I spend money on things that are ridiculous too. For all I know they had a nice budget that they followed strictly. But still, in this time of economic worry, it was odd to see so many people there, wasting their money. The slot machines espcially worried me.
I think it is even more worrying for me because I could see myself loving gambling, and doing it more. Can’t be wise in the long term, but I had a ton of fun at Tulalip, so I don’t know.
