Back to having lots of C-notes. At the high limit area at Horseshoe Tunica, they have lots of people playing sometimes - way more than I ever see in Vegas, by far. Sometimes you see somebody walking around with a big wad of cash in their hand just feeding machines as fast as they can. Just amazing. The get a nice $10k payout and then just feed away. for those people, mugging is the least of their worries.
I get the impresion that you live close enough to Tunica to hear the stories that come out every year or so about someone who won a bunch of money in Tunica and never made it home alive? Yeah, call me overly cautious, but if it's more than a couple thousand I am taking a check. Especially if I am driving back to Memphis that night.
