Default scary moment for me in casino tonight

started drinking at 10:30 last night, head over to the casino in Illinois.....play $200 worth of blackjack until they close at 6 am. Right before they close I'm down $100 and I put my last $100 out on 1 bet. I'm dealt 15 and the dealer has a 9 showing. Hit it for a 5 and dealer had a 10 underneath. Nice. 6-8 am all casinos in Ill and MO are closed....hit up waffle house. 8am start gambling in casino in MO 25 miles away from Ill casino. I was just praying I could lose all my money so I would have to go home. ♠In MO casinos they allow smoking. For 2 hours I was sitting in a plume of smoke. So I'm playing blackjack and it's about 10:15 and the guy next to me, his cigarette smoke is all in my face. Heavy heavy. I'm not a smoker, never smoked anything in my life and my lungs began to spasm badly. I knew what was happening. I get up hastily and try to go find my friend who was playing the slots and then it hit me like a hammer....my lungs completely locked up. I started partially blacking out and I was stumbling around the main area towards a security guard who probably thought I was either a retard or really drunk Luckily he got me to a chair outside the casino area and in some fresh air and I was ok. But that ranks up with one of the scariest moments in my life. No history of asthma or anything. Only good news is that after 9 1/2 hours of gambling I won $40. But I would have given back that $40 not to have the attack.

**** Missouri. Get with the ******* program and ban smoking.


I'm now going to go destroy my toilet.

I am glad that they banned smoking in Delaware before I could go to the Casino's. So I guess that you will never try that again?

I like my lungs as well. And OP.. I thought you were trying to make your truck faster? you always complain about it having dead spots.. yet your wasting your money to almost die and win a grand total of $40? Is that even enough to get you back home?

I go to the casino for entertainment, not to win anything. I assume I'm going to lose everything I go with.
