ahh, Saturdays....................

Saturdays will usually be set aside for a look at Rhode Island's Casinos, and today will be no exception.  But first, I just want to reflect on why I like mornings for gambling most of all.

  • First and foremost - There's nobody there!  I'm talking 6:00 am. I mean, to hop to any machine, play a little BJ, hit a whole row of Video Poker - it's just the best. And the quiet is just surreal.  The few people who are there either just got up or are looking for breakfast somewhere. 
  • Beverage service - nothing like black coffee and all the water you want - and not having to wait long to get it.
  • Smoke - you can just feel the last remnant of it being cleared before the weekend crowds appear.  It's the crispest air you'll find at a casino (if anyone can refer to casino air as crisp?) .
  • Cleanliness - Machines are wiped down, and there aren't as many machines to sit down at where you there are ashes all over and/or drink glasses not picked up.
  • If it's a local casino, I get to to leave before the buses and weekend crowds arrive, and I still have the rest of the day.

In Las Vegas it's even better, because it's the best time for a walk before playing without being bothered by somebody....but that's a rant for a different time. 

Before I have internationally insulted someone, please understand I have nothing against many of the activities that people like to do while gaming - it's just that I prefer to have the casino to myself.  Selfish? - kinda. Enjoyable? - you betcha!
