Default I got a counterfeit bill this morning.

So grumpy and I decided to go out early this morning and needed some cash. So we stopped at our bank ATM and took out a few bucks. I attempted to use one of the bills in a slot machine and it spit it back out at me. So I found one of the workers on the floor, to see if she could exchange it for me. She checked it out and proceeded to call her supervisor (like I didn't notice). The supervisor came out and told me that he was going to take it and verify that it was good.

About 15 minutes later, here comes a security guard and two upper management people who proceed to tell me that the Michigan State Police have been called because I have a counterfeit $20.00 and I tried to use it at the casino. Great ! What a way to start the morning.

About 40 minutes later a police officer finally showed up and he showed me the bill again (I hadn't seen it since I handed it to the worker on the floor). I could tell that it was not right. Anyway he took all my info and told me that unfortunately I was out the $20.00 because he had to confiscate the bill.

And how was your day ?

Well that sucks, at least it was only $20. You were going to donate at least that much to the casino anyway.

I actually went to the bank and I have a good chance that they are going to give it back to me. They are going to verify the time the money was taken from the ATM and talk to the State Police and we will see. I am glad it was only a $20.

You just have to know your limits, and leave the credit cards at home. I think you also need to know that it is called "gambling" and the odds are against you. Don't expect to walk out with money in your pocket, and if you do win, get the hell out of there.

Only been to a casino once in my life and that was with Lindsay about 7 years ago. Gave her $50 to spend and she parlayed that into $600.

We dont call it gambling ,we call it cheap entertainment .We go to the casino's at Mississippi during Cruisin The Coast with a $20 loss limit ,but we try to only go when they throw you a free meal to make us feel like we got our moneys worth.
