The Bride Of Bulletman Part5
B-O-B: This time we decide to stay for a weekend at Caesars in Atlantic City and we take $200. We get to the casino and the man says to Bulletman: "Sorry, sir, but you can't get into the casino without a jacket." We went into AC and we walked all over the place looking for a place to buy a jacket. We asked one of the hotel workers where I could get a jacket that was reasonable. The hotel men's shops had jackets but they were all $300.
We only had $200. So we finally found a shop that was reasonable and we bought a jacket for $50. So now we're down $50. The blackjack turns out to be $25 minimums. Maybe one or two tables with $10 minimums but you can't get near them. So I go over to play the slot machines—I don't even know if there were video-poker machines at this time. If there were, they weren't a big thing. A few minutes later, I feel a tap on my shoulder. We hadn't even checked in and he says that we're going home. He had lost all the money. We hadn't even spent the night.
Bulletman: It was about midnight or one in the morning and we go out to valet and…
B-O-B: They had lost the keys to our car.
Bulletman: Some first trip to Atlantic City this was!
B-O-B: Then we had to stop every five or ten miles to get gas because at that time…
Bulletman: That was 1978 and the gas rationing.
B-O-B: So we didn't even know if we would make it back home.
Bulletman: I figured that this would cure her of any desire to gamble but it didn't.
B-O-B: What I realized was you needed a decent-sized
bankroll to go to Atlantic City. You can't play with scared money. You can't have only a couple-of-hundred bucks if you wanted to play blackjack. Now, even with the video poker this is true. I have a very big bankroll because I know how streaky the game is. I can weather any storm.
Bulletman: So we saved up a bankroll. When we went back next, we went with some friends who were fully comped.
B-O-B: That was impressive. We were treated so well. You could name the time you wanted dinner. The reservaions were made for you. They ushered you in. "How good to see you Mr. an Mrs. so and so." Just great.
Frank: You were the masters of the universe.
Bulletman: Right.
B-O-B: That did it for me. That night I hit on a slot machine. I won $600.1 split it with my girlfriend because we had put up the money together. After that I decided to see what it would take for us to get comped.
Bulletman: When we first went to Atlantic City, we weren't comped. We had to pay full room rates. I think at the time it was about $150 for a weekend night.

The Bride Of Bulletman Part4
Bulletman: The next thing is I close my eyes and then I wake up. I don't know what time it is. I don't even know where I am. She's gone. I look at the bureau. The $500 in chips is gone. I think, "Oh, God, she's taken all the money." The ice is all melted in the bucket. And all I can see is that white jacket with the black arm. I'm thinking that she's lost all the money. Then I sleep again. When I wake up I don't know what time it is but she comes back into the room. She looks miserable. She says: "I'm so sorry, I'll never do it again." She had lost the entire $500. And I'm thinking that she's become a monster.
B-O-B: So we're in the room and I'm taking care of him. I'm saying, "What can I do for you, honey. Let me know if there's anything I can do." And I'm thinking I want to get down to the machines. Finally, I convinced him to let me take some of the travelers checks and try my luck again. Since he was sick he hadn't used any of his. That's how I rationalized it. I had lost all of mine but we had all of his left.
Bulletman: She comes back about midnight, stays in the
room for about an hour and then goes down again. From then on I barely saw her.
B-O-B: One of the dealers, who had seen me playing everyday, asked me out on a date. I was insulted. I said: "Can't you see that I'm a married woman? I'm on my honeymoon." And he said: "Lady, I've seen you every day and I haven't seen you with a man yet!"
Bulletman: That was essentially our honeymoon. On the day we're leaving, I may have seen her about four hours the whole trip, I have to drag her away from the machines at the airport. The announcer is making the last call for our flight and she's still playing the machines. I had to literally drag her to the plane.
B-O-B: He did almost drag me.
Bulletman: We left coins in the trays. We barely made the flight.
Frank: And that was the creation of the monster?
Bulletman: And that's when the monster was truly born.
Frank: Yet, instead of becoming one of the hordes of losers, B-O-B actually became a winning player, or at least, a player who has a great chance of winning. She on the road to legendhood. Why's that?
B-O-B: Well, it didn't happen overnight. And it wasn't smooth.
Bulletman: It was an evolution. The evolution of a video-poker maniac. A year later we want to spend our anniversary in Atlantic City. Atlantic City was just geting casino gambling.
