We go in and just wonder around a bit to acclimate ourselves to a new place,see what types of machines they have, hunt for one that has pretty pictures mostly. She really likes ones that have mermaids or fairies. We don't spot any that we have played before but I did find one with fairies. We pull the chair out of the way and scoot her wheelchair into the space. I hand her a twenty dollar bill, she knows just what to do now... she locates the slot and puts in the money, turns and gives me a huge smile. I pick her lines and bet and off she goes. She knows just when to push the button now and how to long to wait in between bets to see if she has won anything. Then she hits a jackpot party.. free spins and the credits go up. She does a little happy dance in her chair. I move down a couple of machines so her Daddy can sit by her and I play two machines down from her, stopping once in a while just to watch her face. She's watching the lines and is beginning to know when she has a win before the machine even tells her. She plays down to ten dollars and wants to cash out and move. We try another machine, this is Red Hot Chili Pepper Party. It makes lots of noise, bells and whistles, she loves it. An older gentleman comes by and encourages her to win, win, win. I'm playing across the isle from her now. I stop and turn around as she hits a Big Win. The wheel on top of the machine is spinning and lighting up. Her credits are spinning. A couple close to us stops playing to watch and laugh with her, clapping for her, teasing her about having to loan us money. She is grinning from ear to ear doing that happy dance again, so, I dance with her. She won 42.00. Then she declared she was ready to cash out and go eat.
That's my girl.

Aola, this was a great post! I'm so happy for Emily! You are a proud mom!
it is so wonderful to watch her out having fun
My eyes watered up reading this....if our children only knew how much we loved them. We'd move the earth off it's axis just to see them smile.
Emily has such a sweet soul. I can just see her getting excited about her big win! Way to go Em!
$42 -- nice! Heck yeah! :) Love to watch my little gal have fun, too.
Seth won $200.00 tonight on $20.00 he borrowed from me :) It's his first big win and I was proud of him that he knew when to stop and come home :)
So...you're getting your $20 (at least) back, right? (grin)
yep, he gave me my $20. back to put in our "casino stash". We normally only take $20.00 each and if we lose that we walk away. I don't see it as any different than going to Lazer Zone (the game room) and spending twenty bucks on games. So far, we usually come out with at least the twenty we started with
Gambling is awesome. I just wish I'd win more!
I'm not a gambler, but I can handle losing 20 bucks and I always expect to lose because I never win! David is pretty good at black jack. We haven't gambled in years though. they just legalized table games in PA so maybe we should make a trip to the casino. :)
