Sometimes, life sucks. Poor Jimmy and Cairo.

The description of the slot machine is well-done. It made me forget how much I actually hate gambling for a few seconds.

Over the course of my NaNo these two got into so many scrapes it's unbelievable. It practically wrote itself... they're just trouble-magnets. XD Thanks! I hate gambling too but exaggerating the machine was too fun to resist.

XDXDXD How can two people have such excellent luck at a time that turns it into the worst possible luck ever? At least tell me that the money gets deposited into Jimmy's account so they get it anyway. Awesome.

Haha, yeah it does. As they're pegging it across the casino to avoid getting killed, Jimmy's just like, "Holy crap! I'm rich!" XDD

Jackpot...yay! Run-in with bad guys...oy. That's gambling for ya; win sometimes, lose sometimes, occasionally both at the same time. Never a dull moment with these guys, I imagine.

Haha, poor Jimmy and Cairo. Better run, boys :D I love that they win and that it gets deposited to Jimmy's account so he still gets to keep it - that's pretty good luck even so :P Love the descriptions of the casino and the slot machine!
