TWINKLE Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I've been away for a few days working near Evian (74) and I was invited to the beautiful casino there. I've never set foot in one in my life, but I thought I'd have a go on the slot machines. I got 10 euro worth of 10 centimes and sat myself down in front of the first one I saw. I didn't have a clue what to do but I soon got the hang of it. I won 120 euro!!! I wanted to take photos of the musiciens I was with but was told by the barman that it was 'interdit'. Does anyone know why? Is it to protect 'la vie privée' or something like that and does this exist in casinos all over the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Welcome back Twinkle & well done,[:D] a touch of beginners luck huh?[;-)] I think it's for security reasons that no photos are allowed. At least, it was! It was the same in Las Vegas the first time we went. We won a jackpot & a complete stranger went to take some pics & got pounced on by security & firmly told off. Although, next time we went, The Paris casino which was being built on the previous trip, had been completed. I asked if I could take some photos & was told yes certainly.

TWINKLE Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hi Jay Jay!Do you mean to protect people from being robbed of their winnings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hiya Twinks, It was apparently for the security of the casino, whether it was lay out or whatever, we never really questioned them on that, too excited.[:D] Strange how 4yrs later, although a different casino, it was not a problem. Very odd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWINKLE Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 I'm fine thanks!I called my OH from the casino to tell him I'd won 120 euros (cent vingt euros) but the connection was bad and he kept screaming down the phone "Quoi? - 5000 euros???!!!" (cinq mille euros). Poor disillusioned man[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Head Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Whatever you do Twinks don't waste it, stick it behind the bar & I'm on my way! Don't invite JK though, it'd all be spent before I got to Toulouse[:D]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 It would be spent before you got your boots on darling. Congrats Twinks. Long time no see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Head Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Actually I sleep with my boots on JK ready to move in an instant when opportunities like this arise! You're just worried I'll drink more than you.What's Twinks going to spend it on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Actually Chris, I am worried that I will drink more than YOU. As for Twinks, she will spend it all on herself. She may treat us to a Kir Royal to celebrate her win though and tell her how wonderful she is.[:D]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Head Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I wonder if she's into furry knickers? I've got a few moles spare that she could stitch together...the rest could go on Bolly and anti itching cream.[:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 I spent most of it yesterday on a surprise outing for me and my gorgeous daughter. A visit to Auchan where I bought myslef a DVD and two bottles of very nice wine, and her a Witch book and Didl pen. Dinner at McDo (we only go about twice a year tops don't worry!) and Spiderman 3 at the cinema!I've got enough left for a bottle of whatever you fancy - and you don't have to tell me how fabulous I am 'cos' I already know it[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
