i went to mountaineer casino the other day and im 18 looking to drop 100$ on somthing
not big money but whatever


i go in and i see you must be 21 to be on slot machines
they tell me i can only bet horses
needless to say i took 500$ from the horse races so im glad i went there

but i think when your 18 your legal
escpecially if your in the military you are fighting for freedom atleast you should be able to do is blow a few dollars

Personally - I have issues with gambling - can't seem to stop, but if you want to gamble go ahead

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1976, when I was just 11, my Dad took our family to Vegas for a work convention he had to go to. At this time, I was about 5 ft 8 or 9 already. We stayed at a hotel on the strip, and my sis and I got 20 bucks each to do with what we wanted. The second day, I went down and played the slots in a remote corner of the room.

I had already put about 60 bucks in quarters in my pocket, when security came up and stopped me.

I hit as many casinos as I could for the rest of the week. Security was always both slow to catch me, and nice when they did. I ended up winning about 6 or 700 bucks for the week, and played loan shark to my sister...lol


I agree with the "Serve your country- be treated as any age you need to be" concept.
