Hello♪ The first article today was about casinos, so this is an add-on article! Las Vegas has been a casino town for a long time! After World War II, Bugsy built the Flamingo Hotel and developed the casinos, and the Mafia took notice and built more and more casino hotels. In the 1960s, the authorities tightened regulations, the Mafia was removed, and Las Vegas became what it is today. Now the Mafia is not involved in casinos. My favorite TV show Vega$ I was crazy about watching Vegas when I was in elementary school! I never thought I would grow up and live in that city! My mother loved slot machines. They say "gacha gacha," and when she came to Las Vegas, she would go straight to the casino. She loved slots with big screens, loud sounds, and money and jewels falling down when you win. In Japan, we don't play pachinko, bicycle racing, or horse racing. I think it's probably because it's like a game and it's flashy and fun. In other words, kids? My father is a miser, so he hates gambling like this where he loses everything. He especially hates betting his own money! Even if my mother is excited and says, "Okay, let's do our best!", he's the type who just stares blankly next to me. I had no choice, so I always asked him, "Do you want to try, Dad?" and put $20 into the machine and told him, "Press this." Beginner's Luck We often say this in English, but it's only beginners who win big. My father also wins, but when he wins, he puts all the money in his pocket and doesn't give me back the money I gave him! He was a hopeless person! Author: Freepik
