Reminds me of the last (actually, first, last, and only) time I stayed in Las Vegas. I was there for a bicycle shop convention (I was part owner of a bike shop in Fairbanks, Alaska) and the room deal was something like $400 for the stay but included $800 worth of "house chips" which couldn't be cashed in but had to be used for gambling. However, anything I won with those chips was real money so I took my $800 play money to the roulette table, put $400 on black and at the same time $400 on red, spun once and pocketed my $800 winnings. That is the sum total of all the gambling I have ever done in my life.
