Grand Casino Hinckley
We went to check out the Grand Casino in Hinckely, MN this weekend. I had heard that it was easier to win at this casino than some of the others in Minnesota, but that wasn’t the case for us. It’s just like any other casino, if you play long enough, you are going to loose […]
Facebook Casinos
If you want to play some of your favorite slot machines without going to the casino and losing any of your hard earned money, now you can. There are dozens of online casinos on Facebook that you can play for free. I posted a list of some of the top casino apps. Some even have […]
Mystic Lake Derby
This Saturday I was at Canterbury Park for the first running of the Mystic Lake Derby. There was a seven horse field looking to take the $150,000 purse. It was a very close match and extremely hard to pick a winner. Unfortunately, there was a dispute between the 1st and 2nd place horses. The replay […]
Ho-Chunk Wittenberg
This past week I stopped at the Ho-Chunk Casino in Wittenberg Wisconsin. The Ho-Chunk tribe operates six casinos in Wisconsin. The one in Wittenberg is located about 30 miles south of Wausau, one mile off of highway 29. The 11,000 sq. ft. facility has 500 slot machines, with a bar and snack area. I found […]
Canterbury Declares Special Dividend
Despite the fact that Canterbury Park has made an agreement with Mystic Lake Casino and declared a 25 cent per share special dividend (payable on July 12 to shareholders of record on June 28), the stock price has been dropping lately. The headlines of the agreement state that the Mystic would pay Canterbury 75 million […]
Quick Hit at Little Six
There was great weather this Saturday at the horse track, but I only had one exacta win in seven races. Fortunately, that was enough to recover all of my bets and leave me $16 ahead for the day. A lot of long shots were coming in and some days that’s the way it goes. Next […]
Gambling on the Buffet
Most of the time the casino buffet is uneventful. People are herded into a large room where they eat more than they normally would. With an all-you-can eat buffet, there is a higher chance that someone at the next table will start choking and the restaurant staff will have to preform the Heimlich on them. That’s exactly what happened […]
Little Six Casino
This past week my girlfriend and I visited the Little Six Casino in Prior Lake, MN. Sometimes visiting a casino with two or more people can increase your odds of winning if you all agree to share any winnings over a set amount. But, sometimes this can work against you if you are partners who […]
Menominee Casino Visit
This past weekend we stopped at the Menominee Casino in Keshena, WI. They have added many new slot machines. Some of our favorites, like Alice and Diamond Vault, are there now. I won enough to put some gas in the tank and get lunch for two. This is one of our favorite mid-size Wisconsin Indian […]
Turtle Lake Casino
St. Croix Casino in Turtle Lake, WI is one of our favorites. With 1100 slot machines, this casino is about quarter the size of Mystic Lake. It’s just the right size to find a good slot or game table and have a winning good time. The hotel is across the parking lot, but they have […]
