Today, I kicked off my Saturday with two batches of laundry and Eggs Benedict at Haymakers Grill in WB. I have discovered "The Grill" is the best kept secret in the West! A slice of Daisy Ham and greasy hash browns topped of with a small glass of OJ and a small mountain of diced potatoes burned to perfection. My $12 tab was divided by 2.. enough for my supper!
Poor Richard arrived on time. We delivered 5 black bags of extraneous papers to my landfill: Josh' barrels. Dick took a look at my new old Pianola and had something on his mind: A trip to the Ct. proved to be a disaster! - 4K like my new 4K!
However I never saw the casinos as I did today! I felt like I was the Count of Monte Cristo. I observed things very closely and was attracted to one Gambler in particular....a lady sporting a bright red cap and a white Pony Tail inching out of the hat. Her black-framed Roy Orbison thick glasses were revealing BUT what tweaked my mind and eyes was how she fed this $100 slot machine with $100 bills! OMG.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Mrs. X scored Big Time to the tune of an $8,000 Jackpot! Amazing. But wait. Having won Eight Grand of green she began feeding $100 Bills in the machine to her left every 8 seconds. She had an immense wad of Ben Franklins and guess what? SHE HIT AGAIN for another $8,000."Double or Nothing." $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
As she left the second Jackpot I beseeched her .. Congratulated her.. and said "What's your secret?" Her response was "NEVER GIVE UP! " Okay, Google!" But wait. Mrs. X went across the room to another Slot... a $1.00 machine, would you believe, Kenny Rogers? LOL.
I also spoke with a technician repairing a broken slot. "You never know! You need a little MAGIC' he retorted with a smile on his face.
Next, I talked with a 20 year veteran of Foxwoods. This nice lady in a blue shirt made some good points about 'Casino Life.' "People come here to game and forget all about their problems." A very good point. She also reported to me her observations when folks win a Million. "They are in shock."
As I am non-threatening wearing my new Derby and festive red wool blazer I get candid answers to my interrogations like Columbo (Peter Falk) or Jack Webb did on Dragnet."Just the facts, M
The casinos were hopping today. Clouds of smoke choked me and "'Johnson." Three Dudes were smoking stogies. It seemed everyone was smoking weeds and drinking the Hard Stuff.
AS I see it, the "entertainment-factor" in Connecticut is most interesting to the "naked eye." YOU WIN SOME AND YOU LOSE SOME and I think PEOPLE WITH THEIR INCREDIBLE SUCCESSES might just give it all back in the long run. Thanks, Kenny Rogers!
