Steph's $52 Happy Dance...

So, last night Steph and I went to play the slots at Woodbine racetrack. I won second prize in a contest from Q107 and the prize was a t-shirt and $20 to spend on the slots.
Earlier in the day I called to verify my prize winning and was told that a package would be waiting for me at "The Winners Circle" when I got there.
We arrived at about 9:30pm and found "The Winners Circle", only problem was that not one person working there at the time knew what I was supposed to get, or how to get it. After waiting for about 40 minutes while they scrambled to get my "winnings" together, they give Steph and I each a t-shirt (size large, won't fit) and two vouchers for $10 each. We cash the vouchers and go to play some games.
Steph found a machine and started to play. While Steph was playing, I put $20 into a machine behind her, never played this machine before, it looked to be fairly new. I put $20 in and pressed one button on the machine and my money was gone!!! One button, one spin, whoa what fun...grand total of about 15 seconds.
Steph is still playing her machine, has lost about half her money, cashes out and we move on. I don't feel like playing anymore, but Steph has caught the "gambling bug". She sits down at another machine and don't you know she goes up a bit, then drops back, then up, then down, then all of a sudden she hits a big one and is up big. Reluctantly, but excitedly she cashed out. Her original $20 has now grown to $52. Who-Hoo, at least one of us came out ahead!
After this we went to watch the ponies for a bit, then decided to go home.
While we were leaving, Steph had this to say...
"It's much more fun when you win!"
Amen to that!
