Slot Guru Part 2
The Guru and I have been in contact much more since our last casino trip. He wanted to return ASAP. I told him we would go again, as soon as he had time off from work. He met me the next weekend ready to make his return. He had worked all week but only had $120 to go with this time. I guess he had really kicked up his scratch-off play. Well we hit the road anyway. I stopped for gas before the highway and he started to give me scratch ticket intel. He told me that he purchased so many of a certain ticket that the big winner must be close. I filled up and grabbed the $10 ticket he recommended. I don't scratch often, but when I do, I like to squeeze. I only scratch enough to see the number to the right. So a 14 will only show 4. I do this for most of the numbers and tell him I must have a big winner. I tell him I matched numbers and I'm splitting the winnings with him for the solid intel. I go to pull off and he wants me to wait so we can cash in the ticket. I still haven't scratched any prizes and told him I wasn't sure how much we won. He wanted cash for the casino, so I handed him the ticket to let him scratch off the winners. He started to scratch the prize area for the few numbers I left to make look like a winner. First prize he see's is $10k. He starts going crazy and telling me how he knew the winner was there, and that's why he's been dumping all his tips on them every night. Next prize shows $5k and he is like "This has to be a $25k winner!" Then he scratched a $50 prize and was confused. At that point he scratched around all the numbers and realized the ticket was a complete loser. He was so disappointed. I thought it was funny of course. He said we were so close to winning, that he hopes nobody buys any until we get back.
We get down to the casino and check into a regular room. The Guru had no intentions of playing poker and immediately headed to the slots to play. I took a shower and called his cell phone on my way downstairs. He said the machines he picked were terrible and had no money left. I told him I would come meet him because he still wasn't too familiar with the casino. I found him about 10 minutes later lurking around the slots looking at every machine kind of slow. I tapped him on his shoulder and he showed me a $1.10 voucher. He said he found it in a machine. This later became what he called "sniping". A specialty play of his and what he was known for. I told him to relax, that I would lend him some money.
I went to meet my mom and step-father to get them into the lounge. I introduced them to the Guru and we all had a drink and a little to eat. My mom is a long time slot player and goes maybe once a month or so. She had been tightening up her losses in the recent years, but still loves to play them. My step-father doesn't really care for gambling and will enjoy the pool, drinks, food, etc. They were staying the night and I ended up saying goodbye and good luck.
We both went back up to the room. I tried to tell him to slow down on the slots and give him a little lecture. I asked him how much he wanted. He said $200 was enough for now. I told him to hang out in the room for a bit because I'm waiting on a few people. About 15 minutes later Poker Jay had arrived and was already buzzing from all the Tangueray & Tonics he had put down while scalping tickets for the show that night. These two have never met and Jay was in one of his loud and funny moods. He started giving the Guru a hard time. Saying that I found a new guy to carry my bags. That the Guru stole his job. The Guru sat there kind of quiet and almost in awe of Poker Jay. Jay started making drinks while still making jokes and giving the Guru a hard time for being so quiet. Half way into our first drink the 2 girls arrived that I invited. I knew this one blonde girl from back home and she brought her fat friend. I had to keep warning Jay to be nice and not to have a field day on the big girl. The big girl was cool though. I already knew she liked to suck dick. She had blown me one morning at the casino already. The good looking blonde that I knew liked to come up to the casino, so I would invite her up to smash her out. She usually brought the big girl. So one night we had a drunken argument over something stupid. I had a small suite that night and she ended up sleeping on the living room side. When she moved out to the couch, she kicked her fat friend off it and the friend snuck into my bed. She kept her space and everything, but she was what I first seen when I woke up. I was still drunk because I drank so much the night before and realized the Blonde was in the other room. I gave the fat girl a look and she was awake. I then got up on my knees on the bed and put my finger over my mouth telling her to be quiet. Then I just put my dick in her mouth and she blew me until I busted. The blonde never found out. Well anyways I start telling Jay to relax that this girl will hook up with him if he's nice. We finish our drinks and head downstairs while the girls get ready.
The Guru lasted 10 minutes with that $200 on roulette and asked for $300 this time. Poker Jay was just watching us play roulette. I was winning but the Guru only plays his favorite numbers and they weren't hitting. He thought he would have better luck at slots. He bummed a cig off another guy at the roulette table and was on his way. I got up $1k and decided to hit the lounge for drinks with Jay. He was hungry and always said free food taste the best. So we bull****ted for a bit until the girls came down to meet us. They had some drinks with us and I was starting to get buzzed. We went and messed around on slots and table games just having fun and getting drunk. The Guru called me and said he was bust again. He asked me if he could use my card to buy a pack of cigarettes with my points. I said fine and told him to meet me back in the room because I was meeting my buddy Chris there. He looked pretty flustered when he came in. I was drunk and offered him more money. He was a little hesitant, but took another $500. This put him in a better mood and he took a shot. Him and Poker Jay started goofing around and were playing rock-paper-scissors for $5 a game. Guru kept winning and Jay accused him of cheating, that he must be looking in the mirror behind him and seeing what he was about to throw from behind his back. It was pretty funny watching these 2 bicker. It's like they were competing for my assistant position. They moved away from the mirror and Jay still couldn't win. He was down $30 and resorted to dynamite. The next throw, Guru threw rock and Jay threw out just his index finger and said he won. Guru was like WTF, but Jay insisted it was dynamite and it blew up the rock. They argued for a bit while Jay says you can use the almighty dynamite, but only once every 5 throws. Guru finally agreed because Jay said he wouldn't pay if he didn't let it fly. Next throw Guru threw dynamite and Jay threw scissors. Guru was like "BOOM! I blew you up, now were even." Poker Jay "Goes uh uh, I cut the wick!" We all started dying laughing at these two idiots. They ended up in a wrestling match at this point and Jay was losing. Guru was choking him out from behind. So Jay told him he gave up, and to let him go. As soon as Guru started to let go, Jay hit him with the Stone Cold Stunner. I couldn't take it anymore and told everyone to go downstairs.
More drunken antics go on and the Guru is off gambling. It's starting to get late and we end up back in the room again. It's Jay, Chris, Me, and the 2 girls. The girls smoked and wanted me to order food. So we called up room service and ordered a bunch of food. Just as room service was arriving, so was the Guru and he was another $500 light. He owed me $1k at this point. We all started picking at the food and let the big girl do her thing. I end up giving him another $500 and he is determined to get the money back. We tell him he doesn't look like a winner though. So we made he change into my clothes. Not that I'm a fashion guy, but the Guru had cheap terrible clothes. Even his sneakers were in bad shape. So we throw some True Religions on him, a fitted hat, clean t-shirt, and some Air Max. We have him believing he is going to run over the casino now. We have him take a shot with all of us and head downstairs. The girls were stoned and about to pass out from eating so we just left them there.
The Guru started winning! He hit a slot for $300 right away and started slot hopping. About 10 minutes into us rooting on his comeback a new girl I had met that worked at the casino text me. She wanted to hang out, so I told her to come meet me in the lobby. We all left Guru on the slots to go back up to the room. Once we got up there, the blonde was passed out and the big girl was just watching TV and digesting. The girl I brought up kind of felt awkward and was like who are these girls. I said they were nobodies and made us drinks. The big girl knew her friend would be pissed but she didn't say much. The blonde was completely knocked out and Jay started putting food in her hair and stuff. Holding a pickle to her face like she was blowing him. At this point the big girl started defending the blonde and kept trying to wake her up. To let her know what Jay was doing to her. She woke up and wasn't happy about me having the other girl in room. She was like "REALLY?" then grabbed her bags and left with the big girl. Jay was a little upset that he wasn't getting that blowjob he looked forward to now.
Chris ends up leaving and I tell Jay to take a walk. I'm banging this girl for a while and I remember the Guru come walking in and walking right back out once he see's us going at it. All the lights were on we acted like we had the room to ourselves. I eventually pass out with this girl. I wake up the next morning and roll over to see Jay laying in the other bed. The room is a disaster with food thrown everywhere. I ask Jay "Where's Guru?" He said that he was frantically trying to wake me up, and was just pacing around the room when I wouldn't. He says he think he left because he heard him on the phone with someone. Turns out, he lost the other $500 and was sick about it. He couldn't sleep and was really stressed. He claims that he forgot he had to be to work which is bull****. He just probably intended on winning at the casino, then calling out. I guess he went through my phone contact list while I was sleeping and called my mom at like 8am. He told her that he needed a ride to work or he was going to lose his job. He told her I wouldn't wake up and he was was scared about getting fired. She got up, left early, and gave him a ride home. I wasn't to happy about this move he pulled but whatever.
Jay and I end up just playing poker all day long, then driving home later. The Guru finally called me and gave me his sob story. That $1,500 debt with me was killing him. He said he was going to pay me back soon. He went to his grandmother to get a loan from her to pay me that week. Once he squared up he was ready to go back. This whole torching money thing would repeat time after time. He owed me his whole tax return at one point. Then had to get bailed out by his grandmother another time. He owed me $2,700 for a while and was having trouble paying it. So I had to cut off the credit line. But that didn't stop him from coming. I was at the casino one time and he was upset he missed a ride down with me. He had $80 to his name and begged his step-dad for a ride down. He packed a bag and showed up with $30 after paying his step-dad $50 for the ride. That's when the sniping would come into play. He would hunt down machines with money left behind. I've seen him go on some pretty crazy runs. Turn 80 cents into $100. He did this more times than you would think possible. His best run was a $20 bill he found laying on the ground. He ran that up to $360. One thing was certain with him, he never, not once, left a winner after that original trip with the $75 in ones. I would abuse him so much for torching money that I would only call him the Money Torch. I even designed him a custom pair of sneakers off NIKEID. The left heal read MONEY and the right TORCH. They were fire red of course. He loved them and needed new sneakers anyway.
He loved the slots, he would tell everyone about them. What machines were good, best payouts, etc. It was too funny when you would walk up behind him and this 23 year old guy is sitting there smoking. Then a 60 something year old lady would sit down on a slot next to him. He would look over and say "Oh, hey Nancy. How the grandkids?" Then she would respond with "They're great Guru, I thought you were going to quit smoking." He would actually carry around a knot of vouchers like it was a knot of cash. Many of them didn't have much on them. He would use the small ones to tip with. The whole Slot Guru thing was a joke we all had going one night when we were back in the room and got high. We said he should start doing seminars on slots. That he would have infomercials with lines like "Tired of losing?.. Sick of not getting those big payouts you see everyone else hit?.. CALL NOW!" That he could give away the insider tips & tricks, and show people how to show up at the casino with virtually nothing and make $100 off slots.
It was amazing how a kid who made **** for money blew like $15k on slots. It was obviously my fault for allowing him to borrow. He ended up having to go to GA meetings after the 2nd loan from his grandmother. I told him he should recruit some of the others at the meeting for his home games. He didn't last long with those meetings. He decided he didn't have a gambling problem, he said he had a losing problem. He eventually couldn't take the losing anymore and joined the Army. I wrote him while he was in boot camp. He has cut back gambling tremendously since he got back. But is still occasionally found grinding a slot machine on the reservations.

He was a big fan of Staind. I was able to get him front & center comp tickets to the show at Mohegan for him and his friends. He was so happy and didn't stop bragging about how he caught a guitar pick. I didn't know much about the group. Only that I banged the ex-drummers, ex-wife.
