Have you ever heard of a Rocksino? It's the gambling place they put at the Northfield Park Harness Racing place. Actually it is called The Hard Rock Rocksino.
Ohio was late to the party as far as gambling goes. For years, gambling was voted down. Then finally a few years back it was finally voted in to allow it and we moved into this century. They were allowed to put up four casinos; Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo and Cincinnati.
Then the state decided to allow only slots at six horse racing venues. (Ha, ha)
In August, one of my dinner friends picked the rocksino where we ate at the Hard Rock. I'm not much of a slot player. One of the friends put in $20, lost a little and then got 600 free spins. She ended up with this...
Wow, wow, wow. Magellan started with $20 and ended up with $158. Me I lost about $35, ha. At least I wasn't the only one who lost. I had fun though.
I didn't get a chance to see much of the memorabilia but I did see Eddie Van Halen's motorcycle.
Also, outfits worn by Shakira, Fergie,Will.I.Am and the best was a red cloak worn by James Brown. I'm sure it was one of the ones that he used to shake off and they used to pick it up and put it back on him LOL (what a showman he was).

I had no idea there was gambling in Ohio. Happy to see your friend won! Sorry you didn't.....
I'm not a gambler because I don't like losing money. But hey! Your friend sure did well. :)
Unique post for R~ Life is a gamble and gambling is everywhere ~ yet it is always 'for the house' ~ many losers, few winners ~ rather bet on life!

I like real casinos and when I go I play roulette. I don't like these gambling machines.
I like the Hard Rock Cafe at Casino Niagara. When we visit the casino, we always dine there. They have all the Elvis memorabilia there. :-)
Fun when you win...but expect to lose♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/red-peppers/
That would be a nice ticket to have....Hmmm maybe one day I can have one of those. Next time I may ask grandpa to send a little luck my way- Oh he's probably hanging out at the horse track next door...LOL -mike
600 free spins???? How lucky is that!!!! I once won $1500. As soon as I got that cash in my hands, I went right up to the room (Rod was in bed, reading) and tossed it up into the air! He was stunned! Thankfully I know when to quit!!
