Man, that's a trip! I have a similar story...
3 hrs from home, Anderson Ca. Staying at my girlfriends sisters house for the weekend. There's really nothing in Anderson.. We were visiting to attend her sons graduation. Rachel and her sister went out and stopped at this old mom and pop video store, and rented a few movies, one was wreck it Ralph! When they came back, Rachel said hey they have a t Tetris and a centipede, something else can't remember..
That night late, they all decide to go to this casino, not a gambler, but I went along, and watched awhile, Rachel was in this Michael Jackson machine, It was a pair. I gave her 10 bucks and watched her turn it into 90 real fast, so I decided to play, very quickly I ran my 10 bucks up, to a crowed gathering 347 dollars. I said I'll play down 50 and see what happens, Rachel hit the print voucher button, said we are out of here!! Now! Smart move. so I had to mention the gamble part, cause it comes into play later. We turned 20 bucks into 437 or something that night!
Soo, leaving town Rachel said we have to return the movies on our way out, I said sweet I'll get a few quarter down those machines. We pull up, and I notice that attached to the movie store is also a used appliance store. I quickly spot a ms pacman in the sea of washing machines and fridgerators. I make my way inside, and work my way over to take a look.
The guy that runs the video store owns the video store and the appliance store. He notices me Checkin it out, and approaches me. Says its for sale! I say how much? He's says make me an offer. I asked if it works, he says no. I ask to look inside, he says sure! So I open up the back, it's all their. No blown fuses... nothing was missing. I say, well I I give you a Hundread bucks, he says make me a reasonable offer! I says 150! he says I was thinkin $300, meet me in the middle a 200. I said you know, I just can't, I'm away from home, I don't need another machine.
He says I tell you what, I was spose to go to Reno this weekend, and I didn't get the chance to go gamble. lets flip a coin. I win, you give me 200, you win, you can have it!!! I started counting money in my wallet!!
Rachel's say No!!! right, right, right, sorry sir, I can spend a 100 dollars, and no more, he says deal, sticks his hand out and we shake!
