Honey and I spent our 50th anniversary at Coushatta Casino in Kinder, Louisiana. We had a great time.
Shortly after we arrived, I hit a jackpot on a Hot Shot slot machine like the one pictured above. I didn’t get the biggest progressive jackpot, but one big enough that play stopped while the casino processed a W2-G tax form and paid me in cash. After that, we spent the afternoon playing on “House Money” and both of us had a successful day.
Normally, we visit Coushatta’s Big Sky Steakhouse for the prime rib, but yesterday we opted for the Terrace Cafe and a meal of soup and sandwiches. Their potato soup to die for – maybe literally, it must be about a thousand calories per spoonful – but worth every bite.
We played for a while after dinner, but left earlier than we had expected. It’s about 170 miles from our house to the casino, a three hour drive on a good day, and yesterday we had drizzling rain all the way. I didn’t want to get too tired before I faced the traffic and miserable driving conditions on the way home.
As we drove out of Kinder, Honey did a count and reported that we both brought back all of our “gambling money” and a little bit more. That did not include that wad in my pocket wrapped around that W2-G.
We got home safe and sound – and a little richer than when we left. I’d say we had a very good day.
