Where’s My Gin And Tonic, Stupid Robot?

Posted by Jason Sheehan on May 5th, 2011

People say that no one wins in Vegas. Not really. That eventually, everyone gives back more to the house than they take away.

I have two problems with that theory. One: the whole give back/take away equation can be mightily skewed by someone who sucks down enough free cocktails while haunting the nickel slots. If what you’re there for is to maximize your alcohol consumption, not your blackjack winnings, you can make out like a bandit. A drunken, slobbering bandit.

Two, if you’re really losing that badly, the problem might be that you’re actually playing in Las Vegas. Maybe what you really need to do is start rocking the slots in Brooklyn.
