Making money at a casino

After five straight days of children, medical, and english outreach in the camps...in the sweltering humidity, we headed to Chiang Mai. On our way there we stopped at a hotel on the border. It happen to be a casino but had decent accomodations. Initially it was quite frustrating as we needed to pay for the rooms up front and have a deposit on each room. After about two hours we were finally able to get to the rooms. They had a promotion running with the casino where with each room we got 300 baht ($9) of promotion chips. So with our five rooms we had 1500 baht. It was free money so we had to use it. Well it turns out that we made 5000 baht on Roulette. I kind of felt like it was God's humor as we were fretting over finances and money. From the extra money, we enjoyed a good meal in Chiang Mai.
