The $1600 flirt
After work today I went to the casino.
Strolled in as usual and headed towards the roulette tables. I didn't see her at the first lot of tables, but then I saw her dealing at a table in the second lot! There were quite a few people playing at her table, so I thought maybe not a good opportunity to talk to her. I walked past, pretending to look around, and I think she saw me. I walked around and went to an empty table to exchange my $1600 into $100 chips. I figured it was 'cooler' to approach with cash chips rather than clumsily pulling my notes out.
So I walked one round and pretended to watch a table near hers. I looked over and saw some of the people at her table had dispersed. There was one Asian man and one lady who was semi-playing.
I walked over and smiled to greet her and she smiled back.
YES!!! HAHAHA!
Her last spin was a zero, and I pointed at the board, saying "zero!" and she nodded. I watched one spin before buying in $800 worth of colour chips. She gave me a look before taking my chips and colouring me up.
She had spun a few 0-3 sections so I placed my bets on 1-2 and won. When she slid my winning chips over, she said "for the lawyer". Not sure if this was a good sign or not. I mean, if this is all she can remember, then...I fear she might be a gold digger. Or status digger. But then again, she doesn't know my name, so what do I expect?
I asked if she spun all the numbers on the board and she said yes. She said she was making more mistakes than last week. I said "I didn't know that was possible" before quickly adding "joking" with a smirk. She playfully opened her eyes wide for a second as if to threaten me lol.
We stole glances at each other throughout the next few spins. She made a slight mistake when paying out a guy by placing his winnings near the winning number, and her supervisor came over to correct her. Hope she didn't feel embarrassed.
She said she had seven minutes left in her shift. She spun the ball but mucked it up, it was a bad spin and she recalled the ball. Then suddenly, a dealer came over and changed her over immediately. We exchanged eye contact as if to say goodbye before she left.
I wasn't sure at first if she was just going on a break or if she had finished her shift. Only when I didn't see her come back for the rest of the night did I get my answer. So it seems this time she finished at 6pm, whereas last time she finished at 7pm.
I was up $300 but slowly and surely started losing. I should've left when I was up (hindsight is great isn't it?) but ended up losing my $1600. I managed to hang around the $800 mark for a long time before I lost my patience and placed bigger bets. I just wanted to get out of there, but for whatever reason, I had to lose everything first.
Funnily enough, I didn't feel a need to chase it, even though it was the last $1600 on my credit card. Maybe it was because I didn't have any money left to gamble with? Or maybe I had matured? Or maybe I just wanted to see her?
I'll try to see her next Thursday. But there has to be a cheaper way to see her goddamnit.
