We were walking down the street and all I could see were people, bright lights, casino's and clubs. We already decided to visit one of the smaller casino's first, so we could get the hang of it. I had only gambled once, so not much experience in this area. Once we entered, we saw two slot machines in the back. "You go first!" Dana stumped me. It started spinning after I threw in a coin. A few tries later I started to enjoy the game. Dana was done watching and gave it a try too. "This is fun!" She said laughing. O my god, all I could do was hoping she won't get addicted. I was just staring at my machine when out of nowhere I  got snapped out of it caused by loud music, sirenes and the sound of falling coins. "I WON! I WON!" Dana was screaming, dancing and jumping all over the place. "O MY GOD, YOU WON!" I joined her. The few people in the casino started clapping and cheering, but some of them seemed a bit jealous. No surprise, they all came here to win and two young girls win the jackpot.

"How much did you win?" The coins finally stopped falling. "I don't know, I guess like 600 bugs?"

Dana was always the lucky one. She'd get away with everything and things just happen to her, she doesn't even have to do anything for it. "Lucky basterd, you're paying tonight." I gave her a friendly push. "Only if you'll dance for me."

We used four buckets just to fill them with coins. The boy behind the register smiled and congratulated Dana with her win. I'd lose my mind working here. Having to see people win all the freaking time and you're handing them the money while you don't even get paid half of it on a monthly basis. The boy was real friendly though. Eventualy we walked out the casino with a profit of $700. If this isn't a good start, I don't know what is.

While walking down the street Dana couldn't stop talking. Her enthousiasm was uncontrollably. "What are the freaking odds that I win at gambling? On the first night? I can't even believe it."

"You better believe it. Nevertheless, you know you won't win every time right? Don't want you to get addicted now." Her expression changed immediately to her 'are you freaking kidding me' face.

"You're a tease. You know that won't happen." She wasn't even done speaking and I could see the hesitation in her eyes. Dana is easily addicted to something. That's also the reason why she smokes weed on a regular basis. But she has me to watch over her, so it won't get out of control. 

"That club over there seems awesome, see, all those people are going there." She was right. The building alone was huge. "We'll go there. I think I've heard of it before. Did my research you know."

After waiting half an hour in a humongous line at the door, we got in without any troubles. The bouncer searched us with his eyes for a moment, but I don't think it was for precaution.

Here we go.
