"I’ve never been a big-money gambler and much prefer to see casino gaming as a form of entertainment. However, I have had some lucky streaks on occasion, particularly while playing roulette. On a couple of different sessions, I was fortunate enough to hit hot runs at the table that resulted in significant winnings. The key was quitting when I was ahead!"
