Wednesday night was card bingo. You take a deck of cards for every four people. Each person gets dealt 13 playing cards. There is a caller that calls the cards from a deck and the first person who gets rid of all of their cards wins a bingo! Each person will ante before each game. The first three games are a nickel each, the next three games are a dime each, three games of a quarter each and the last game is a dollar! I won a dime bingo. Didn't pay for all my games but still enjoyed playing. They also mix it up by removing all red cards or all black cards, playing with your five best or worst cards. It was fun!
On Thursday we went over to the Cliff Casino. It is fairly small and the minimum bet on most of their penny machines is fifty cents! Ted was very lucky and won enough to cover my losses and buy lunch! He was lucky the entire time and I was unlucky the entire time! They have a Johnny Rockets in the casino and we had lunch there. We both splurged and had a milkshake with our lunch...Susan drinking to her losses and Ted celebrating his wins! They were really creamy and delicious!
The Friday game was Pokeno at the club house at the RV park. There were enough people to have two tables full. It is a bingo type game but played like poker. You have a premade card with five rows of five playing cards on it and you use playing cards (like in card bingo) to call the numbers. In addition to Pokeno (or bingo), you can get a full house, four of a kind, center card, four corners and diagonal Pokeno! We play with pennies and this time I came out a winner and Ted, well not so lucky!
We leave the Valley tomorrow and will spend three nights in Las Vegas. We have plans to visit my former boss David Hawkins and his wife Debbie on Monday. I think it will be pretty warm but should get us ready for the heat in Fresno after we leave Las Vegas!
Game playing..."Ain't Life Grand!"
