Yup... Actual casino in Tukwilla, WA
I even played there. Once I was playing blackjack at one of the "Lucky Ladies" tables. I was betting $10 and usually put $5 on the idiot bonus bet that paid when you got 20 or paid big at 125:1 if you got two queens of hearts as your first two cards. Well I was down to my last $15 so I put it all on the regular play and skipped the bonus bet. You guessed it I was dealt two queen of hearts... and get this, I lost to the dealers Blackjack.
The kicker to that story is if you got the two "Lucky Ladies" and the dealer gets Blackjack, the payout is something crazy like 1000:1 so instead of having $5000 I got zlich. That was a long drive home.
I can't look at those chips and not think of it!
