S&G<\/em> reader Jeff_in_OKC<\/strong> paid a visit to United Coin<\/strong>‘s “Trailer Station” at Skinny Dugan’s Pub<\/strong> this week and files the following report from the scene of the (in)action:
\n\"\"I lost one of the five dollars I invested. Lisa kept winning while trying to lose. She was apologetic about being up eight dollars on a five-dollar input. Joe<\/strong> [the attendant] said “Don’t apologize. That’s what I’m here for.” She got it down to four dollars profit when we had to leave for the airport. Funny thing, Joe was kinda unsure about our true motive for being there. He said we were the first paying customers he had ever seen in several times in the barrel. We think he may have thought we were Gaming Control Board<\/strong> agents secretly checking him out. He was very nice, however, and I can’t compliment him enough<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Believe me, Jeff and Lisa know a lot more about what was (or rather, wasn’t) going down at Skinny’s that the NGCB, which doesn’t keep track of “Trailer Stations.” That seems odd but the board is so undermanned these days — thank you, governors Bob Miller<\/strong>, Kenny Guinn<\/strong> and Jim Gibbons<\/strong> — that it’s got more than enough on its plate without following United Coin’s casino-on-wheels, too.<\/p>\n

That’s Joe in the picture, by the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
