When you’re a home owner, your singular advantage over apartment dwellers is that you can customize your house to be precisely what you want it to be. If you want to, you can do absolutely anything as long as the law allows it. You can’t have a missile silo or anything like that, but you can build your very own casino if you want to. Well, you have to make sure you follow all of your local gambling laws, but you can produce the air of a casino in your own home.
It’s very easy to get some neon lights, a slow machine or two, some poker tables and a roulette wheel to give yourself the feeling of being in Atlantic City or Vegas any time. It’s pretty cool because you can lay it all out on the same kind of carpet that casinos use, to add a lot of authenticity to the whole deal. After all of that, you can almost convince yourself that a scantily clad waitress will be around to offer you a “free” drink. Of course, you’ll have to find your shows somewhere else.
Once you have your casino set up, you can play all the games you like, without having to worry about actually losing anything. It doesn’t matter if lady luck absolutely slaps you across the face. Since you own the house, you’re just going to end up paying yourself. If you can get a friend to play the dealer, the experience is basically complete. Just make sure you shuffle the deck really well, and keep the martini glasses nice and cold for when the action starts to heat up.
