The ill-fated venture proved that combining casino gambling with family fun is like mixing oil and water. Pretty soon it was back to "What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas".
There is one place, however, where the presence of gambling within an entertainment environment does not deter children from having just as good a time as mom and dad...read moreA shuffle through the gaming mailbag11 May 2010 Q. I expect that you may have heard about the woman who thought she won $42.9 million in Central City, Colo., but only found out that the machine malfunctioned. It was on a penny machine.
