Casino

I posted about gambling on Moodle. I'd like to talk about the Casinos. I went to River**** Casino for the first time, and it was really beautiful. I was there till 10 p.m. It was Monday night. I couldn't believe how many people were in there. Young and old, men and women, and all kinds of people in there gambling. I wondered if they don't work, or they come to the casino straight from their work. It was amazing to see that many people in Casino on Monday night. I spent 10 dollars and chickend out thinking I could've bought one or two fantastic toy for my son, or even for my husband. I listend to the music, and gulped down free soft drinks.
However, I could tell people who were having fun there from the ones addicted to the gambling. Most of those who are addicted to it have certain ways of pushing buttons. Some push the button very quickly twice or three times. I saw this lady push the button quickly and rub on the screen with her three middle finters every single time she pushed it. I saw this man rubbing on both sides of the machine with his both hands... Hmm... That's their lucky move. I felt kinda sorry for them.
But I wondered if I would ever get hooked to it like them. How many times of winning and how much money would it take to get me addicted to it? I hope it never happens to me. Besides, I'm too poor to gamble anyway. I pick up a 5 dollar-lipstick at a drugstore and put it down about 6 times before I decide not to buy it.. Poor me. I couldn't imagine putting 500 dollars into the slot machines. Oh, no.. never..
Medium is the best way to go in most parts of our lives. Having fun is the same.
