Gambled at a Casino twice in my life.

My step dad and I both worked for the Union Pacific Railroad from Tucson to Yuma. He was an engineer and I was a conductor. Not very often would we work together or be in Yuma at the same time. One day he calls me up out of a dead sleep in my hotel and says get your ass up we are gambling. Went to this new casino they had built there (this was 2006ish) and he was going to town on a Wheel of fortune slot. I played the video poker for a minute and went down the $40 I was going to gamble with. I just sat and watched him. He said you look bored here have $20. I took the $20 and went over to the Penny slots to make the time go by. Was doing minimum pulls until he was done. Then I did max which was like $8 a spin. I hit the Jackpot and it gave me the option of taking the money ($1,200) or getting 40 free spins. Some drunk lady reached over and said "You should take the spins boy" and pressed the spins button. I won $950 after the free spins were done. I went and cashed out and put another $20 in the same machine and won $250 2 spins later. Gave my step dad $200 and I took the rest home and probably bought some cards that are 100% worthless now.
