Prior to COVID I used to do a casino overnight on or around my birthday. It was a beautiful day today and close enough to my birthday to make a trip there, not to stay overnight but just for a few hours (or less if my money ran out). It’s about a 45 minute drive down country backroads and along a winding river, so beautiful with fall colors. I spent a few hours and had a great time trying out all the latest machines, fortunately with the casino’s cash. I left with about 70 dollars more than I arrived with.

So how is Treasure Island Resort & Casino? I have not yet been there. Does that Casino have frequent payouts ?

Happy Birthday!

I've only done casinos a couple times, but I basically give myself a dollar amount I'm willing to lose...and then go lose it, lol.

Its a very large casino with hotel attached, officially in the town of Welch, MN but the closest real town is Red Wing. I have been there in the past where machines were very tight but not yesterday. Could just be luck of my day, hard to say. But lots of newer, interesting machines, and I got a bunch of bonuses.

Happy birthday susanm9006 susanm9006 !

I've actually never played at any of the casinos I've been to. I've only gone for the restaurants. :lol: There is one near my grandparents that they liked. They used to give seniors something like $10 to play. So they'd go lose the $10 and have a nice lunch. :lol: When I was a teen they'd take me and Gram and I would wander the shops while Grandpa played his $10.

One of my friends from middle school is in town for a quick weekend so I just made plans to have brunch with her. So many have moved away so I'm really happy to get a chance to see her. :hearthrob:

I think your luck happened because you went during the middle of the week.

I have been to one casino.. only one in my life.. and that was an outing from here to Foxwoods. I did not care for it.
I lost $20 in less than 15 minutes... not for me.... I enjoyed the luncheon and the shops more. If I ever go again, I will definitely hit the Wampanoag museum. Not the casino!!

My positive is DH made the bed in the morning for three straight days in a row. :wow:I know this may not seem monumental but I've been on his case lately for not helping around the house. He does help with outdoor work but not the mundane household chores. So I told him last one up in the morning has to make the bed and he cooperated.
