There's lovely then.
Ten years ago I flew to Las Vegas to hang out over a long weekend with 40ish close friends from Usenet.

After checking into the Golden Nugget and dumping my stuff in my room, I wandered down to the casino below I put $5 in a slot machine in the lobby.

4 spins in I won $625. Flashing lights, bells, the works. A lady with a leather pouch around her waist came over, verified the win and handed me the cash from her pouch.

It paid for my room, all my food and drink and an awful lot of blackjack.

It probably indirectly explains why I ended up losing 2 grand on Internet poker last year. Gambling? That's where you get loads of money and have a great time, right?
