My Westside Story Part 2- Keno Madness

What's there to do in Vegas except walking up & down the Strip, eatting the finest buffets, and watching shows? GAMBLING!!! You can pretty much gamble anywhere in the Silver State of Nevada! There're slot machines at Walmart, Saveway, even 7-11. There's Keno in casino restaurants too. As you know, I'm from a Nevedian family (Reno is my home town baby~), gambling is in our blood!!! We got tired of All-you-can-eat seafood/prime ribs buffet, and we dined at Harris' coffee shop.

As we got seated, the first thing we did was to pulled out the Keno tickets and crossed out our favorite numbers. *There's 80 number in Keno, you can pick 1 to 20 numbers to play, and 20 numbers will be drawn in each game.*

Yung, "Okay, gimme a number, all of you."

Neko, "14!!!" I will not give up on 14 even it's unlucky.

Mum, "3."

Anson, "11. I like 11."

Me, "78.... well, my favorite number is 35, but I'll go for 78 this time."

Yung, "Okay, I'm not gonna pick. My number will never win." as he waved at the Keno girl.

The game was on before the Keno girl came back with our tickets. Us gamblers watched for the results anyways as our table is right in front of the Keno screen.

Me, "OMG!!! 78 is on!!!!!!"

Everone, "gimme a 3! 3! 3!!" and number 14 popped up as the Keno girl comes back with our ticket. OHH! We are on this game! She got us in!!

Yung, "OMG!! We got 2 numbers! Common, we can do this, chant with me... 3! 3! 3!!" and guess what? Number 3 popped up!!!!! Wahhhhh~ We got 3 numbers out of 4!

Anson, "Common number 11!!!"

Everone, "11! 11! 11! 11! 11! 11!"

AND THERE IS IT! NUMBER 11!!!! WE WOOOONNNN! 4 OUT OF 4!!! WWWWAHHHHHHH! WE WON! OMG!! I was overwhimed with the excitement. I had to order an OJ to celebrate! hehe... *We only bet $1 on this and we got a glorious lum sum of $175 back!! Wohoo~~*

Then mum said she has to try her luck too. She asked us for 2 numbers each and bet $1 on 10 numbers. Others were finishing up their lunch plates, as I was enjoying my victory OJ. Yung filled out another game of Keno and rushed to the Keno stand with mum & his own ticket without waiting for the Keno girl. The game started a moment later... We concentrated so hard on the Keno screen as the winning numbers were popping up.

Yung signed, "okay, nothing for this game..."

Mum hesitated a bit then said, "Ohh... I think I got 6 numbers, how much do I get?"

Then the Keno girl came over with a big smile and checked mum's tickets. She said, "Lucky table! You got 7 out of 10 numbers ma'am. On a $1 bet, that gives you $150! Congratulations!"

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe this! We got 2 winning tickets in one meal!!! Gambling is fun~~~ Muahhahahahhahhh~~
