After a pleasant dinner, the girls headed to the nearest casino. As agreed on at the start of the trip, everyone was given $250 to gamble with. They were going to play for an hour and then head to the bar before moving to the next casino.

Sarah, who hadn't had any alcohol at dinner volunteered to stay with Heidi, who had 6 drinks with dinner. Laura agreed to keep up with Dani, and the other Sarah went with Christy. Sarah had no real desire to gamble so she followed Heidi to the blackjack tables.

"You gonna be my lucky charm, Sar?" Heidi asked as she leaned on her friend.

"Not sure how lucky I'll be but I'll stay with you." Sarah chuckled as they sat at one of the many tables. The dealer started passing out cards and Sarah protested. "Oh no, I'm not playing."

"Only players can sit at the table." The dealer told her firmly.

Nodding Sarah stood and moved to stand behind her friend. Heidi passed the cards to Sarah and urged her to sit back down. "Don't be a spoilsport. We're in Vegas! Play a few hands with me."

Sighing, Sarah sat down, placed her bet, and looked at her cards. She had the Ace of Spades and the Queen of Hearts. She couldn't help but chuckle at her own luck. "I'll stand."

"Already?" Heidi looked surprised. "Knowing you, you're playing it safe." She looked at her cards and sighed. "Hit me." The dealer laid down the 3 of diamonds. "Hit me." Next came 7 of spades. Heidi thought a moment and said, "hit me."

The dealer placed the 10 of diamonds down and Heidi groaned. "House stands at 20."

"I'm bust, did you have 20 or better?" Heidi asked

Sarah flipped her cards and Heidi hugged her excitedly. "You won!"

Sarah played 3 more hands with Heidi. The first hand Heidi stopped after 2 cards which gave her 19, the house busted, and Sarah won with 4 cards that added up to 20. Second hand Sarah won with an 18. And the final hand Sarah had an ace, a 2, a 4, a 3, a 10, and another ace.

Sarah cashed in her chips, despite Heidi's protests, and urged her friend to move to another game or at least another table. Heidi agreed to change tables and in 15 minutes she had lost over $100.

It took some convincing but Sarah got her to stop gambling, after all the was just beginning. They wandered around until they found the other Sarah and Christy at a poker table. The other Sarah had a nice stack of chips in front of her and looked calm, while Christy only had a few chips and was obviously stressed. Glancing at their cards, Sarah wasn't sure who was winning. She had never played any type of poker before. She did know that Christy was probably giving her hand away by being stressed. Placing a hand on her friend's shoulder, she stage whispered, "Relax Christy. You don't need to tell the room how good your hand is."

Christy jumped slightly at Sarah's voice. "Oh, hi girls. I thought I was good at this game, obviously not."

"Hey, are you going to play or chat?" One of the other players asked angrily.

Christy sighed, put her cards down, and sat back. "I fold."

They watched the rest of the hand play out and when the next hand was dealt, Heidi told Christy to double her bet. "What? why?"

"Sar is good luck tonight." Heidi grinned.

Shrugging Christy doubled her bet and grinned more and more as the hand proceeded. Finally, feeling reckless she pushed all her chips to the center and wagered everything.

Everyone, including the dealer, was surprised when Christy won the hand and the entire pot. "I think I'll call it a night and keep my winnings. I don't want to push my tiny it of luck."

"No, no. You've got to give me a chance to win my money back," Claimed the annoyed player across the table.

"Relax Sir. You could still win your money back." The dealer assured him.

Christy patted Sarah on the back and headed to the bar. "I'll wait for you ladies there. I definitely need a drink."

The other Sarah said she'd meet them there she was going to play a few more hands. So Sarah and Heidi continued making their way around the casino. Soon they found Laura and Dani at the slot machines.

"Slots? Really?" Heidi questioned.

"Hey it's simple and requires no brainpower," Dani told her before sipping her drink.

"Perfect game for drunks," Laura smirked. "Surprised you didn't stop here, Heidi."

Heidi glared at her and then sat down. She inserted $5 and pulled the lever. It spun and slowly stopped on random symbols. Nothing happened so she pulled it again. Still nothing. She kept trying until she only had one try left.

"These things are rigged! There's no way to win." Heidi argued.

"I've won $500 and Dani's won a couple hundred." Laura boasted.

Heidi got up and huffed. "Whatever. Sarah, you try. You're having good luck tonight."

"I don't..."

"Come on Williams," Dani encouraged. "Give it a try."

"Yea there's nothing to lose, it's Heidi's money you're betting." Laura chuckled.

Sighing, Sarah reached over and pulled the lever. The numbers and symbols spun around and stopped one by one, all of them landing on 7.
