The Odds of Winning


So as we were on our way out of NV and stopped in Searchlight (mentioned before because of The Nugget Casino and Restaurant) I ran in to get a pix of this antique one-armed bandit. It only takes nickles and a posted note asks you to only use one nickle at a time and to be gentle with this old guy.

Well, Bill fished a nickle out of his pocket for me and I gently pulled his arm holding the gun . . . low and behold - TWO nickles come tumbling down into the "you won" tray!!!! Whooo Hooooo!

Bill grabs the 2 nickles from the tray and says, "Good for you, you doubled your money!" and out the door he walks! What the heck????? I was thinking that meant I could go on . . . . guess not!

Later, Jody
