Now, I'm a rather "timid" gambler, and generally just stick to the slot machines and video blackjack, because I know absolutely NOTHING about any of the other games that happen in a casino. So, myself, my boyfriend, and our good friend take a trip down to the casino. We usually start out with a few slot machines, so that's where we began our night. Nothing seemed too special or exciting, just good, old fashioned gambling. After a few different games and maybe a couple of beers the boys go to play some poker and I wander off to the shops, which includes the mandatory trip to Sephora to play with makeup. After my window shopping I head back to the slots. I think I sat down at the Wheel Of Fortune game and maybe won $80, and then went to play video blackjack at one of the bars so I could have free beer. When the boys finished their poker game I bought a round of drinks with my WOF winnings and we meandered over to the craps tables in good spirits. I think both boys were down a little $ after poker, but I don't remember.
Craps is a terribly confusing game, especially when you're drunk and you've only seen it played one other time, several weeks earlier. Having never played it myself, I was standing quietly behind the boys who both bought into the game and had been hassling me about playing too. Something about "first-timers luck" and "girl luck" but I wasn't having it. When the dice came around to our friend the dealer saw me standing there and said, "lady roller?" Uh, no. Not this time. So our friend rolled a few times but didn't do much by way of winning himself or anyone else money. "Lady roller?" I hear again and all of a sudden every single man at the table is staring at me hungrily. The dice are in front of me, and my boyfriend is putting down chips so I can roll.
"What do I do???"
"Pick two dice and throw them to the other end of the table. Don't worry about anything else."
"Fiiiiine."
I threw the dice a little too hard the first time, but after that, there was no stopping me. Once. Twice. Five times... I don't honestly know how many times I got to roll. I do know that everyone at the table was winning money on my rolls, including me - because the boyfriend was laying down bets for me. When I finally rolled a 7 I couldn't even see straight. Between the beer and the adrenaline, I had had enough.
The boys stayed in the game for a couple more rollers, but that was about it. Thanks to "first-timers luck" and "girl luck" we all walked out of there with a little extra money in our pockets. It was a good feeling. But not good enough to get me to willingly play craps again. :D
