Big Time Gambling

So when my birthday rolls around I try to go and gamble for some free money.  I don't think you'll be calling me Maverick anytime soon.


1st stop- I rounded up Uber Son and we hit the Meskwaki Casino, over near Tama , Iowa. On your birthday, you get $20 of bingo credit! Yay! So I could play bingo for pretty darn cheap. Son had never been to Meskwaki Bingo before, it was an eye opener.


You notice there's only white hairs and blue hairs in the background there.....
After getting settled in guess who was our big winner of the night? Yup Uber son WINS!!!

He sure needs the money since he's....... "currently between positions". It was a pretty eventful night at Bingo-there was a scandal! One lady called Bingo after the caller had moved on to the next number and the lady who had the next number got cheated! She went to management I guess and later ended up showing them all, by winning the $900 fishbowl pot!!
So I continue my losing streak. But there's one more chance. Hubs and I head over to The Riverside Casino. For your birthday there, you get $9 in free slot play and a free dinner buffet.
Alas! Still a loser. But I at least got to have supper with Hubs and DD. DD was baby sitting little mason. Look how cute Mason is......
He hitched a ride with Hubs, and Mason was also the accomplice, hubs was boosting a big ol' hunk of fried chicken out of the buffet right under the boy!!!  Oh well I may be a loser at gambling, but I am always entertained!

Here we go Again

So DD and Me decided to check out the little craft show going on over at the casino in Riverside.

Loved this modern wood furniture from the Furniture Shop in Amana.



There was lots of jewelry-the usual beads in a clump and rock on a string and things dangling from earring wires. YUCK!

There was really lovely pottery. I wasn't able to get a photo of the lady who used horsehair on her pottery hot from the kiln-it was magnificent.

Love thes metal letters and signs from old-or old looking corrugated metal.

And LOVE the iron tree. Something about iron into art appeals to me. hmmmm gene pool ya think?
So after taking in all the crafts, DD thought she should go ahead and use her birthday free slot play.
Here's what happens when DD tries to play the slot machine

Put on a happy face...well she did come out with $5 more than she started with. WINNER!!

Cha-Ching!

So all of us October birthday folks went to the casino and collected our free slot play and buffet supper.

OOpsy-wow what happened to this picture-I dunno but here's the winner! I think it was around $7!!!
Then we had the buffet it's fun to go once a year and since my baby turned 21 I had to expose him to the dnagers of the casino.

Born to Bingo!!!...or not

So well, you don't see a pile of money here do you?...nuff said.
