For about ten years there my weekend was the same. Load up Saturday morning, drive over to the Lake Charles places, lose track of time and money, drive back Sunday beat. Fun, but the gas and the hotel added up fast.
This past year I basically stopped. Found the sweeps sites and now I just play from the couch in San Antonio with a beer. No casino in Texas, you know that, so for at-home this is the only thing that isn't straight up offshore sketchy.
It's not the same buzz, I'll be honest. No free drinks, no buffet. But I redeemed a small Sweeps Coins balance back to my bank a couple weeks ago and it actually showed up, so that scratched the itch enough.
Anybody else made the switch? Or do y'all still make the drive across the line? Curious if I'm just getting old and lazy.
Play within your means either way.
